Answer:
the answer is 20
Step-by-step explanation:
use the pythagorean theorem
1] 12 x 12 = 144
2] 16 x 16 = 256
3] 144 +256= 400
4] find square root of 400 which is equal to 20
20 and 0 = largest sum of squares
10 and 10 = smallest
Answer:
Roy is 10 years old at present and Joan is 5 years old at present
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x----> Roy's age
y----> Joan's age
we know that
x=2y ----> equation A
(x+3)+(y+3)=21 ----> equation B
substitute equation A in equation B
(2y+3)+(y+3)=21
solve for y
3y+6=21
3y=21-6
3y=15
y=5 years
Find the value of x
x=2y ----> x=2(5)=10 years
therefore
Roy is 10 years old at present
Joan is 5 years old at present
