Answer:
33. The sheep pen is 16 square yards
Step-by-step explanation:
You can divide the rhombus inside into two triangles. Each triangle has a base of 4 yards and height 4 yards.
Area of triangle: A = 0.5*b*h = 0.5(4)(4) = 8
Since there are 2, then 2*8 = 16 square yards.
X = Juan's age
y = Eliza's age
Some key words/phrases we can use to help us make the equation are:
-is (whatever comes after this word usually equals the end result, or what it equals)
-two years younger
-than
-half her brother's age
.
just break it down :)
x/2 (half her brother's age) - 2 (two years younger) = y (Eliza is...)
| basically,
v
x/2 - 2 = y
So if Juan is 6, then we need to plug in 6 for x.
6/2 - 2 = y
3 - 2 = y
1 = y
ANSWER: Eliza is one year old.
