The scientist can use only the angle x and the distance y to calculate the distance between the Earth and the Sun using the cosine function.

cos x = BC / y

Solving for BC

BC = y cos x

BC is the distance between the Earth and the Sun :D

Consider two persons. The age of one persoon isestimated between 25 and 35. The age of the other person isestimated between 15 a
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Q1. The estimated sum of the two people are between 40 and 55 years old.

Q2. The first person is between 10 and 15 years older.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given Age Range's for 2 people. The first question is asking for the sum of the two people's ages. In this case we can just <u><em>add</em></u> the two minimum ages together and then the two maximum ages like so,

<u>min:</u> 25 + 15 = 40

<u>max:</u> 35 + 20 = 55

So the estimated sum of the two people are between 40 and 55 years old.

The second question asks how much older the First person is from the Second person. We can calculate this by <u><em>subtracting</em></u> both age ranges like so,

<u>min:</u> 25 - 15 = 10

<u>max:</u> 35 - 20 = 15

So the first person is between 10 and 15 years older.

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.
