Lan is 146 centimeters tall now.

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

Let, Lan's current height is h centimeters

As Lisa is 6 centimeters taller than Lan and Lan is 10 centimeters taller than Jim, so Lisa's current height = (h+6) centimeters and Jim's current height = (h-10) centimeters.

Every month, their heights increase by 2 centimeters.

So, after 5 months.....

Lan's height = h+(2*5)=(h+10) centimeters,

Lisa's height = (h+6)+(2*5)= (h+16) centimeters and

Jim's height = (h-10)+(2*5)= h centimeters

Given that, the sum of Ian's and Jim's heights will be 140 centimeters more than Lisa's height in 5 months. So the equation will be....

(h+10)+h= (h+16)+140\\ \\ 2h+10=h+156\\ \\ 2h-h=156-10\\ \\ h=146

So, the current height of Lan is 146 centimeters.

alexgriva [62]
Plug in the given numbers (x) to the equation. For example, let's take the first value it gives us. -10(-2) +y=4 20+y=4 y=-16 Then you would put that on the table, and plug in the next value(s). Hope this helped!

Find the missing side lengths​
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

X = 18

Y = 9√3

Step-by-step explanation:

use sin equation for right angle triangle

The sine of the angle

= ( the length of the opposite side ÷ the length of the hypotenuse.)

according to this question,

sin 30 = 9 / X

1/2 = 9 / X

X = 18

use cosine to find y

The cosine of the angle

= (the length of the adjacent side ÷ the length of the hypotenuse.)

cos 30 = y/x

√3/2 = y/ 18

y = 9 ✓3
