Answer:
John’s age is 8 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x -----> John’s father's age
y -----> John’s age
z -----> John’s sister's age
we know that
-----> equation A
-----> equation B
-----> equation C
Substitute equation A and equation B in equation C and solve for y
Multiply by 2 both sides to remove the fraction
<em>Find the value of x</em>
<em>Find the value of z</em>
therefore
John’s father's age is 40 years
John’s age is 8 years
John’s sister's age is 4 years
Answer:
- distance traveled: 30 m
- displacement: 21.4 m
Step-by-step explanation:
You want the distance traveled and the displacement after walking 17 m south and 13 m east.
<h3>Distance</h3>The distance traveled is the sum of the lengths of each leg of the trip:
17 m + 13 m = 30 m
You have traveled a distance of 30 m.
<h3>Displacement</h3>The displacement is the distance from your final position to your starting position. If you draw a diagram of the journey, you see the displacement is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs 17 m and 13 m. The Pythagorean theorem can help you find this length:
h = √(a² +b²)
h = √(17² +13²) = √(289 +169) = √458 ≈ 21.401
At the end of your walking, you are 21.4 m from where you started.
