Answer:

Maggie is 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Honestly, I just kept trying ages starting from 10 because I knew it wasn't going to be less than that. Then I did whatever age, in this case 13, and multiply it by 4. Then minus 11 from that number. Then take that end number and add it to the beginning number(maggies age) and you should get 54.

Math Equation Explanation:

13*4 = 52 (Maggies Age) x 4

52-11= 41 The question stated that Maggie's brother was 11 -------------------------------------years younger than her age times 4.

41 + 13 =54 The sum of both their ages.

Which set of lengths are not the side lengths of a right triangle? (A-28, 45, 53) (B-13, 84, 85) (C-36, 77, 85) (D-16, 61, 65) [

Side lengths 16, 61, and 65 are not part of a right triangle.

A right triangle's sides should follow this formula, C being the largest number:

$a^{2} + b ^{2} = c^{2}$

$16^{2} = 256$

$61^{2} = 3721$

$65^{2} = 4225$

256 + 3721 = 3977

$3977 \neq 4225$

It’s not “analyzes the paper topic” I got it wrong in Edgeunity it should be “explains the papers topic”

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer for the first question is, what does the audience want to know? She wants the audience to know that she is preparing to write an article for his school newspaper. A thesis statement is a sentence that most likely explains the papers topic and knowing the audience will help her use the right words and connotations to provide the best report to her teacher.
