Answer:

20 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Joe = J

Sydney = S

J = 5 + S

J + S = 45

Substitute

5 + S + S = 45

Add

5 + 2S = 45

Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation

2S = 40

Divide both sides of the equation by 2

S = 20

Sydney is 20 years old

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

88

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle is calculated using the following formula:

1/2*b*h (b: base, h: height)

The height here is 11 and the base is 16

1/2*16*11 = 88 units square

Please help me 33/2 + 3y/5 = 7y/10 + 15
8090 [49]

We are given with an equation in <em>variable y</em> and we need to solve for <em>y</em> . So , now let's start !!!

We are given with ;

{:\implies \quad \sf \dfrac{33}{2}+\dfrac{3y}{5}=\dfrac{7y}{10}+15}

Take LCM on both sides :

{:\implies \quad \sf \dfrac{165+6y}{10}=\dfrac{7y+150}{10}}

<em>Multiplying</em> both sides by <em>10</em> ;

{:\implies \quad \sf \cancel{10}\times \dfrac{165+6y}{\cancel{10}}=\cancel{10}\times \dfrac{7y+150}{\cancel{10}}}

{:\implies \quad \sf 165+6y=7y+150}

Can be <em>further written</em> as ;

{:\implies \quad \sf 7y+150=165+6y}

Transposing <em>6y </em>to<em> LHS</em> and <em>150</em> to<em> RHS </em>

{:\implies \quad \sf 7y-6y=165-150}

{:\implies \quad \bf \therefore \quad \underline{\underline{y=15}}}

Find x so that the points (x,x+1), (x+2,x+3) and (x+3,2x+4) form a right-angled triangle.
azamat

Let <em>a</em>, <em>b</em>, and <em>c</em> be vectors each starting at the origin and terminating at the points (<em>x</em>, <em>x</em> + 1), (<em>x</em> + 2, <em>x</em> + 3), and (<em>x</em> + 3, 2<em>x</em> + 4), respectively.

Then the vectors <em>a</em> - <em>b</em>, <em>a</em> - <em>c</em>, and <em>b</em> - <em>c</em> are vectors that point in directions parallel to each of the legs formed by the triangle with these points as its vertices.

If this triangle is to contain a right angle, then exactly one of these pairs of vectors must be orthogonal. In other words, one of the following must be true:

(<em>a</em> - <em>b</em>) • (<em>a</em> - <em>c</em>) = 0

<em>or</em>

(<em>a</em> - <em>b</em>) • (<em>b</em> - <em>c</em>) = 0

<em>or</em>

(<em>a</em> - <em>c</em>) • (<em>b</em> - <em>c</em>) = 0

We have

<em>a</em> - <em>b</em> = (<em>x</em>, <em>x</em> + 1) - (<em>x</em> + 2, <em>x</em> + 3) = (-2, -2)

<em>a</em> - <em>c</em> = (<em>x</em>, <em>x</em> + 1) - (<em>x</em> + 3, 2<em>x</em> + 4) = (-3, -<em>x</em> - 3)

<em>b</em> - <em>c</em> = (<em>x</em> + 2, <em>x</em> + 3) - (<em>x</em> + 3, 2<em>x</em> + 4) = (-1, -<em>x</em> - 1)

Case 1: If (<em>a</em> - <em>b</em>) • (<em>a</em> - <em>c</em>) = 0, then

(-2, -2) • (-3, -<em>x</em> - 3) = (-2)×(-3) + (-2)×(-<em>x</em> - 3) = 2<em>x</em> + 12 = 0   ==>   <em>x</em> = -6

which would make <em>a</em> - <em>c</em> = (-3, 3) and <em>b</em> - <em>c</em> = (-1, 5), and their dot product is not zero. Then the triangles vertices are at the points (-6, -5), (-4, -3), and (-3, -8).

Case 2: If (<em>a</em> - <em>b</em>) • (<em>b</em> - <em>c</em>) = 0, then

(-2, -2) • (-1, -<em>x</em> - 1) = (-2)×(-1) + (-2)×(-<em>x</em> - 1) = 2<em>x</em> + 4 = 0   ==>   <em>x</em> = -2

which would make <em>a</em> - <em>c</em> = (-3, -1) and <em>b</em> = (-1, 1), and their dot product is also not zero. The vertices are the points (-2, -1), (0, 1), and (1, 0).

Case 3: If (<em>a</em> - <em>c</em>) • (<em>b</em> - <em>c</em>) = 0, then

(-3, -<em>x</em> - 3) • (-1, -<em>x</em> - 1) = (-3)×(-1) + (-<em>x</em> - 3)×(-<em>x</em> - 1) = <em>x</em> ² + 4<em>x</em> + 6 = 0

but the solutions to <em>x</em> here are non-real, so we throw out this case.

So there are two possible values of <em>x</em> that make a right triangle, <em>x</em> = -6 and <em>x</em> = -2.
