Answer:

4. Nelson: 14; Alison: 36

5. May: 12; April: 18

7. Student: 7; Instructor: 27 -- caveat emptor

Step-by-step explanation:

4. Quick answer: The time between Alison being 2 times her son's age (age ratio = 4:2) and 3 times her son's age is 11 years. That means each "ratio unit" stands for 11 years. 3 years ago, when Alison was 3 times her son's age, he was 11 and she was 33. Now, he is 14 and she is 36.

Check

In 8 years, he will be 22 and she will be 44, twice his age.

If you want to write a system of equations, you can use A for Alison's age and N for Nelson's age.

A+8 = 2(N+8) . . . . relation of ages in 8 years

A -3 = 3(N -3) . . . . relation of ages 3 years ago

We can equate expressions for A:

2(N +8) -8 = A = 3(N -3) +3

2N +8 = 3N -6

14 = N

A = 2(14 +8) -8 = 36

Alison is 36; Nelson is 14.

____

5. Quick answer: The sum of ages 6 years from now will be 36. Then April will be twice May's present age. That is, May's present age is 1/3 0f 36 = 12. April is 30 -12 = 18. Now, April is 18 and May is 12.

Check

10 years from now, April will be 28. That is 4 years more than 2·12 = 24.

Once again, you can write a system of equations:

A + M = 30

A +10 = 2M +4

Again, equating expressions for A, we have ...

30 -M = A = (2M +4) -10

36 = 3M . . . . . simplify, add M+6

12 = M

A = 30 -12 = 18

April is 18; May is 12.

_____

7. Makes no sense. The first sentence says the age difference is 20 years. The second sentence says the age difference is 5 years. It can't be both. Something is missing somewhere.

If we assume the word "twice" is missing, then the system of equations for Instructor and Student can be ...

I = S + 20

I + 8 = 2(S +8) +5

Substituting for I, we have ...

S +20 +8 = 2S +16 +5

7 = S . . . . . . subtract S+21

I = 7+20 = 27

The instructor is 27, the student is 7.

Check

In 8 years, the instructor will be 35 and the student will be 15. At 35, the instructor will be 5 years more than twice the student's age.

We have essentially written our own problem statement here. Your problem statement, and your answer, may vary.

20. what us the area of the figure:

Varvara68 [4.7K]

If the angle in B is 45º, that means the angle in A is also going to be 45º, considering it's a right triangle, so AC and BC are they have the same length.
Then using Pythagoras, you'll get that $AC^{2} + BC^{2}$ equals $AB^{2}$ .
Now, you know that AC=BC and that AB=24.
So you'll get $2AC^{2} =24^2$ . You do the square root in both sides and you get that 2AC=24 and AC=12.

Now that you know that both AC and BC equal 12, you can find the area by just multiplying them and then diving them by 2. (The formula for the area of a triangle is half base multiplied by height, and in a right triangle, if a cathetus is the base, the other cathetus will be the height)

And so the area is equal to 72.

Slove A. 115° B. 58° C. 50° D. 226°

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle is total is 138 degrees. Part of the entire angle is already given (the 88 degree measure), so all you have to do is subtract 88 from 138, which is 50.

How many 6-digit numbers can be created using8, 0, 1, 3, 7, and 5 if each number is used only once?

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

600 numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

For six-digit numbers, we need to use all digits 8,0,1,3,7,5 each once.

However, 0 cannot be used as the first digit, because it would make a 5-digit number.

Therefore

there are 5 choices for the first digit (exclude 0)

there are 5 choices for the first digit (include 0)

there are 4 choices for the first digit

there are 3 choices for the first digit

there are 2 choices for the first digit

there are 1 choices for the first digit

for a total of 5*5*4*3*2*1 = 600 numbers

Find the radius of a circle in which the central angle of (pie /4 ) radian determines a sector with an area of 86m^2

LenKa [72]

Area of sector = 1/2 * r^2 * x where r = radius and x = angle in radians

86 = 1/2 * r^2 * pi/4

r^2 = 2 * 86 * 4 / pi = 219

r = sqrt 219

= 14.80
