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.

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2l + 2w

where

l is the length

w is the width

From the question

The length is 3x + 7

The width is 2x + 2

The perimeter is

<h3>2( 3x + 7) + 2( 2x + 2)</h3>

Simplify

6x + 7 + 4x + 4

Group like terms

6x + 4x + 7 + 4

We have the final answer as

<h3>10x + 11</h3>

Hope this helps you

Triangle S R Q is shown. Angle S R Q is a right angle. An altitude is drawn from point R to point T on side S Q to form a right
juin [17]

Answer:

RT = 12 units

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure attached,

ΔSRQ is right triangle.

m∠R = 90°

An altitude has been constructed from point T to side SQ.

m∠RTQ = 90°

By applying geometric mean theorem in triangle SRQ,

\frac{\text{RT}}{\text{ST}}=\frac{\text{TQ}}{\text{RT}}

\frac{x}{9}=\frac{16}{x}

x² = 16 × 9

x² = 144

x = √144

x = 12

Therefore, length of altitude RT is 12 units.

X, Y and Z form the vertices of a triangle. XY = 12.4m, XZ = 10.4m and YZ = 8.7m. Find the angle ∠ YXZ rounded to 1 DP.
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

43.8°

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying,

Cosine rule,

From the diagram attached,

x² = y²+z²-2yxcos∅.................... Equation 1

where ∅ = ∠YXZ

Given: x = 8.7 m, y = 10.4 m, z = 12.4 m

Substitute these values  into equation 1

8.7² = 10.4²+12.4²-[2×10.4×12.4cos∅]

75.69 = (108.16+153.76)-(257.92cos∅)

75.69 = 261.92-257.92cos∅

collect like terms

257.92cos∅ = 261.92-75.69

257.92cos∅ = 186.23

Divide both sides by the coefficient of cos∅

cos∅ = 186.23/257.92

cos∅ = 0.722

Find the cos⁻¹ of both side.

∅ = cos⁻¹(0.7220)

∅ = 43.78°

∅ = 43.8°
