<h3>The present age of Jackson is 25 years old</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let the present age of Jackson be "x"

Therefore

Jackson's age 7 years ago = x - 7

And, Jackson's age after 20 years = x + 20

From given question,

Jackson’s age was 2/5 of the age he will be 20 years from now 7 years ago

$\frac{2}{5} \times (x + 20) = x - 7\\\\2(x + 20) = 5(x - 7)\\\\2x + 40 = 5x - 35\\\\5x - 2x = 40 +35\\\\3x = 75\\\\Divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 3\\\\x = 25$

Thus present age of Jackson is 25 years old

Consider ΔABC, where ∠C = 90° and ∠A + ∠B = 90°. Click on the statements that are true about the relationships of the angles Ang

Novay_Z [31]

Answer: Angles A and B are complementary angles

If Sin A ≈ 0.766 then Cos B ≈ 0.766.

If Cos B ≈ 0.766 then Sin A ≈ 0.766

Step-by-step explanation: In any given right angled triangle, one angle measures 90 degrees while the addition of the other two angles equals to 90 degrees. Hence if angle C is given as 90 degrees, then angles A and B added together equals 90 degrees (complementary angles equal 90 degrees).

Also, Sin A cannot be the same value as Sin B, since angle A and angle B are not equal in measurement. However, being complementary, the Sin of angle A equals the Cos of angle B.

If Sin A ≈ 0.766, then angle A ≈ 50 degrees

That makes angle B equal to 40 degrees. The Cos of B ≈ 0.766

Therefore if Sin A ≈ 0.766, then Cos B ≈ 0.766

If Cos B ≈ 0.766 then Sin A ≈ 0.766 are both correct

I do not need an explanation, just a simple angle number!

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a + 143 = 180 {Linear pair}

a = 180 - 143

a = 37

37 + 93 + b = 180 {Angle sum property of triangle}

130 + b = 180

b = 180 - 130

b = 40

c + b = 90

c + 40 = 90

c = 90 - 40

c = 50

d + 120 = 180 {Linear pair}

d = 180 - 120

d = 60

? = 60 + 40 {Exterior angle property of triangle}

? = 100

A cylinder has a radius of 4x + 2 and a height of 5x + 4. Which polynomial in standard form best describes the total volume of t

forsale [732]

V = π r² h
V= π (4x+2)² (5x+4)
V = π (4x+2)(4x+2)(5x+4)
V = π (16x²+16x+4)(5x+4)
V= π(80x³+144x²+84x+16)
V= 251.33x³ +452.39x²+263.89x+50.27

x2 - 22x + 121

= x2 - 11x - 11x +121

= x(x-11) - 11 ( x -11)

= (x-11) (x-11)
