Answer: girls=20, sister=10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the girl's sister's age (present)

Let 2x= the girl's age (present)

-------------------------------------------------------------

According to the question

(x+5)(2x+5)=375

Expand parentheses by FOIL (First Outer Inner Last)

2x²+5x+10x+25=375

Combine like term (5x and 10x)

2x²+15x+25=375

Subtract 375 on both sides

2x²+15x+25-375=375-375

2x²+15x-350=0

Find the factors (cross factor)

(x-10)(x+17.5)=0

x=10 or x=-17.5 (rej) ⇔ the age can't be negative

the girl's age is 20, and her sister's age is 10.

alexira [117]
We know that the diameter of the inner circle (d) and the side of a regular octagon (s) are tied by the formula:

d = (1 +√2) × s

The inverse formula is:

s = d / <span>(1 +√2)

Plugging in numbers:
s = 7 (1 + </span>√2)
   = 2.9 ft

Therefore the correct answer is A) <span>2.9 feet</span>

Math Help:<br><br> Which two answers are correct?
EastWind [94]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

The odd degree (7) tells you the end behaviors are in opposite directions. The negative leading coefficient (-4) tells you the sign of y will be opposite the sign of x.

For x going toward negative infinity, y goes toward positive infinity.

For x going toward positive infinity, y goes toward negative infinity.

What is the area of the square? Help me pls
Allushta [10]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find out the circumference of the circle.

We know that the circle has a radius of 1, and that we are finding the circumference. We'll use the circumference equation of a circle.

2\pir

<u>Plug in 1 for r.</u>

2\pi (1) = 2\pi = circumference of circle

<u>Now, multiply the answer (the circumference) by 4 to get the perimeter of the square.</u>

<u />2\pi x 4 = 8\pi = perimeter of square

<u>Now, divide the perimeter by 4 to get what the side of the square is.</u>

<u />8\pi ÷ 4 = 2\pi

<u>Now, multiply </u>2\pi<u> by </u>2\pi<u> (side times side) to get the area.</u>

2\pi x  2\pi = 4\pi

The answer is A. 4\pi
