A father is four times as old as his daughter. In 18 years he will be two times as old as she. How old is the daughter now?

1 answer:

8 0

Let's say x to the daughter's age, since the father's age is four times the daughter's age, his age will be 4x. 18 years later, the daughter's age will be x+18 and the father's will be 4x+18. And we know that 18 years later the father's age will be twice the daughter' so , 4x+18 = 2(x+18) and 4x+18=2x+36 then, 4x-2x=36-18,
2x=18 then divide both sides by 2, x = 9. The daughter's age was x, so she is 9 years old.

The figure is made up of 2 rectangles and 2 right triangles. What is the area of the figure? 173 units2 253 units2 277 units2 32

Here, Area of a Triangle = 1/2 * b * h
A = 1/2 * 6 * 8
A = 1/2 * 48
A = 24

Area of two traingles = 2(24) = 48

Now, Area of a rectangle = 25 * 5 = 125

Now, Total area of the figure = 125 + 48 = 173 units2

In short, Your Answer would be Option A

Hope this helps!
