Answer:

In 2 years

Step-by-step explanation:

age right now 1,5,7,9

Let the number of years in which the sum of the ages of two of his children be twice the sum of the ages of the other two children=x

Therefore Age of the children after x years will be 1+x,5+x,7+x and 9+x

2[1+x + 5+x] = (7+x)+(9+x)

2[6+2x]= 7+9+x+x

12+4x=16+2x

4x-2x=16-12

2x=4

x=4/2=2

Let's verify if the answer is correct

-- Verify by substituting the value of x in this 2[1+x + 5+x] = (7+x)+(9+x)

2[1+2 + 5+2] = (7+2)+(9+2)

2[10]=9+11

20=20

Therefore 2 years is the answer

A rope is tied to the bottom of a hot air balloon ad shown below The rope makes an angle of 35 with the ground and is 75 ft long
damaskus [11]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 43 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

angle = Ф = 35°

length = 75 ft

height = ?

Process

To solve this problem, use trigonometric functions. The trigonometric function that relates the Opposite side (height) and the hypotenuse (length) is sine.

               sin Ф = Height / length

-Solve for height

                height = length x sin Ф

-Substitution

                height = 75 x sin 35

-Simplification

                height = 75 x 0.574

-Result

                 height = 43 ft

Mamont248 [21]

Question:

The options are

A. area

B. height

C. volume

D. perimeter

Answer:

The correct option is;

C. volume

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we note that the size of the unit cube is 1 cubic unit

When the box is filled with the unit cubes the total number of unit cubes represent the volume capacity of the box into which the number of nit cubes are placed.

The volume is a quantity that is also represented by the product of the length, width and height dimensions of the cube.

Determine the lateral area and surface area of the given prism. Round answers to the nearest whole number.
vazorg [7]

Answer:

Lateral Area = Area of 2 triangle + Area of slant rectangle + area of back rectangle

Lateral Area = (5m)(3m) + (6m) (36m) + (3m) (36m)

LA = 15m² + 216m² + 108m²

LA = 339 m²

SA = (5m)(3m) + (6m) (36m) + (3m) (36m) + (5m)(36m)

SA = 15m² + 216m² + 108m² + 180 m²

SA = 519 m²
