Answer:

Onyango is 48, his daughter is 16 and his son is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call Onyango's age x, therefore his daughter and son's ages are 1/3 x and 1/4 x respectively. We can write:

x + 8 = 12 + (1/3x + 8 + 1/4x + 8)

x + 8 = 7/12x + 28

5/12x = 20

x = 48 → 1/3x = 48 / 3 = 16, 1/4x = 48 / 4 = 12

A postcard in the shape of a parallelogram has an area of 12in^2. What are two possible lengths of bases and heights for the pos
Tpy6a [65]

A postcard is in the shape of a parallelogram. A parallelogram  is a quadrilateral with two pair of parallel sides, opposite sides and opposite angles are equal.

Since, the postcard has an area of 12 square inches.

Since, area of parallelogram = base \times height

As area of parallelogram is 12, it means that the product of base and height is 12 square inches.

So, the possible dimensions of postcard are 3 inches and 4 inches and 2 inches and 6 inches.

So, base = 3 inches , height = 4 inches or base = 4 inches , height = 3 inches.

So, base = 2 inches, height = 6 inches or base = 6 inches , height = 2 inches.
