HELP 99 PTS=50 PTS Theresa has two brothers, Paul and Steve, who are both the same height. Paul says he is inches shorter than t

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.

Part A
Write an expression to represent Paul’s height in inches.

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

This is a really interesting question! One thing that we can notice right off the bat is that each of the circles has the same amount of area swept out of it - namely, the amount swept out by one of the interior angles of the hexagon. Let’s call that interior angle θ. We know that the amount of area swept out in the circle is proportional to the angle swept out - mathematically

θ/360 = a/A

Where “a” is the area swept out by θ, and A is the area of the whole circle, which, given a radius of r, is πr^2. Substituting this in, we have

θ/360 = a/(πr^2)

Solving for “a”:

a = π(r^2)θ/360

So, we have the formula for the area of one of those sectors; all we need to do now is find θ and multiply our result by 6, since we have 6 circles. We can preempt this but just multiplying both sides of the formula by 6:

6a = 6π(r^2)θ/360

Which simplifies to

6a = π(r^2)θ/60

Now, how do we find θ? Let’s look first at the exterior angles of a hexagon. Imagine if you were taking a walk around a hexagon. At each corner, you turn some angle and keep walking. You make 6 turns in all, and in the end, you find yourself right back at the same place you started; you turned 360 degrees in total. On a regular hexagon, you’d turn by the same angle at each corner, which means that each of the six turns is 360/6 = 60 degrees. Since each interior and exterior angle pair up to make 180 degrees (a straight line), we can simply subtract that exterior angle from 180 to find θ, obtaining an angle of 180 - 60 = 120 degrees.

Finally, we substitute θ into our earlier formula to find that

6a = π(r^2)120/60

Or

6a = 2πr^2

So, the area of all six sectors is 2πr^2, or the area of two circles with radii r.

Five people each take the same number of candies from a jar. Then a group of seven people does the same: in so doing they empty
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let first group of people take x candies each

and second group of people take y candies each

5x + 7y will be total candies

5x +7y = 239 (needed to find positive solution of x,y)

now take x=38,  y =7

or x=31,   y= 12

hence lots of possibilities ,so we can not say exactly
