Answer:

Paul = 30 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

If Adam (A), Paul(P) and Jake(J) together they weigh 180 pounds (A+P+J=180); and Adam and Jake is 2:3 (2A=3J) then how much does paul weigh?

A+P+J=180, 2A=3J, J=60 we have; A=(3/2)J=(3/2)*60 → A=90, 90+P+60=180 →

P=180-90-60 → P=30

A base angle of an isosceles triangle measures 30, and the length of one of the legs is 12. What is the length of the altitude d
AfilCa [17]

Answer: 6

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, a base angle of isosceles triangle is 30°.We are also informed that one of the legs is 12. The altitude is opposite to the angle having a measure of 30°. The hypoteneous in the right angled triangle which is formed by drawing the altitude is 12. This will be calculated as:

Sin = opposite/hypotenuse

Sin 30°=length of the altitude/12

Note that sin 30° = 0.5

0.5 = length of the altitude/12

length of the altitude = 12 × 0.5

Hence, length of altitude = 6
