We need to write system of equations for this problem. Reading text we write 1 equation by 1.
first lets name our variables
x - Kiana cards
y - Gary cards
z - Monty cards
m - Willa cards
x = y-3 which we can write as y = x+3
z = x + 7
m = 2z
x + y + z + m = 74
I think easiest way to solve this is to express all variables in last equation and solve for x.
x + x+3 + x + 7+ 2x + 14= 74
5x = 50
x = 10
now we just calculate cards given to each friend
y = 13
z = 17
m = 34
Statements that best describe the triangle are the following:
1. It is a right triangle, therefore one angle is equivalent to 90°.
2. We can solve for the measurement of the other leg using the Pythagorean theorem c²=a²+b².
3. We can use SOH CAH TOA theorem in solving the other unknowns.
Answer:
<h3>162.5 cm²</h3><h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
Area of a triangle = (BH)/2
Base= 25
Height=13
(25×13)/2= 162.5 cm²
4(2y−9) is the correct answer
