imes Theresa’s height. Steve says he is 6 inches shorter than 1 1/4 times Theresa’s height. If they are both right, how tall is Theresa?
To solve a problem like this one, you can use a linear equation where the variable represents Theresa’s height in inches. Let t represent Theresa’s height in inches.

Question 1
The relationships for Paul’s and Steve’s height with respect to Theresa’s height are described above. First you will write expressions for Paul’s height and for Steve’s height. Then you will relate the expressions.

Answer:

Theresa is 58.82 in tall

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 

x----------> Paul and Steve heights

y----------> Theresa height


we know that

1 1/2-------> 3/2---> 1.5

1 1/3-------> 4/3----> 1.33

 Paul says he is 16 inches shorter than 1 1/2 times Theresa's height

x=1.5y-16-------> equation 1


Steve says he's 6 inches shorter than 1 1/3 times Theresa's height

x=1.33y-6------> equation 2


equals 1 and 2

1.5y-16=1.33y-6

1.5y-1.33y=-6+16

0.17y=10----------> y=58.82 in


x=1.5y-16------> 1.5*(58.82)-16------> x=72.24 in


the answer is

Theresa is 58.82 in tall

1st find half of 90
which is 45.
Find 4 more than 45.
which is 49°
then subtract 90-49=41

A triangular pane of glass has a height of 30 inches and an area of 270 square inches. what is the length of the base pane
Tems11 [23]
The equation for the area of a triangle is A= b*h /2. So, plug in your known variables, and you get 270in^2= b*30 /2. First you multiply by 2 to cancel out the division for 2, which gets you 540= b* 30. To get "b" by itself, divide both sides by 30, giving you <u>18=b</u>.

To check this, plug in your new known variable, as 270= 18* 30 /2. This will equal as 270=270, confirming 18in as the correct measurement.
