Answer:
Sister = 15 years old
Brother = 12 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
Right now, if the brother is B years old and the sister is S years old, B = (4/5)S because the ratio from brother to sister is 4:5, so if one unit is X, B = 4X and S = 5X
Three years ago, the brother was B-3 years old and the sister was S-3 years old. Keeping one unit as X, we have
B = 3X
S = 4X
B-3 = (3/4)(S-3)
Therefore, we have a system of equations
B = (4/5)S
B-3 = (3/4)(S-3)
Substitute (4/5)S for B into the second equation to only have one variable
(4/5)S - 3 = (3/4)(S-3)
(4/5)S - 3 = (3/4)S - 9/4
add 3 to both sides and subtract (3/4)S from both sides to isolate the variable and its coefficient
(1/20)S = 3/4
multiply both sides by 20 to isolate the S
S = 15
B = (4/5)S = 12

Answer:
I think it's an obtuse scalene.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
volume of cone = 1/3 volume of cylinder
according to the question, volume of cylinder =
V =
diameter = 3 inches
radius = 3/2 inches
height = 8 inches
V = 22.7 * (3/2)²* 8
V = 22.7 * 9/4 * 8
V = 22.7 * 18
maximum volume a cone can have = 1/3 of cylinder
Volume of cone = 1/3 * 22.7 * 18
= 22.7 * 6
= 132.6
