We have 3 people: Paul, Daniel and Patricia. Let each name denote that person’s current age in years. Remember that % is the symbol for 1/100.
PAUL: (#A) Paul = Patricia – 2
DANIEL:
(#B) Daniel = 125% * Patricia = 125 * (1/100) * Patricia = 1.25 * Patricia
(#C) Ten years ago, Daniel’s age at that time would have been Daniel’s current age – 10. IE “Daniel – 10”.
Ten years ago, Patricia’s age at that time would have been Patricia’s current age – 10. IE “Patricia – 10”.
Ten years ago, Daniel’s age at that time (IE Daniel – 10) was 50% greater than Patricia’s age at the time (Patricia – 10).
IE
Daniel – 10 = 150% * (Patricia – 10)
Daniel – 10 = 1.50 * (Patricia – 10)
Daniel – 10 = 1.50 * Patricia – 1.50 * 10
Daniel – 10 = 1.50 * Patricia – 15
Daniel = 1.50 * Patricia – 15 + 10
Daniel = 1.50 * Patricia – 5
So now we have 3 equations in 3 unknowns:
(A) Paul = Patricia – 2
(B) Daniel = 1.25 * Patricia
(C) Daniel = 1.50 * Patricia – 5
Solve equations B & C simultaneously
1.25 * Patricia = 1.50 * Patricia – 5
1.25 * Patricia – 1.50 * Patricia = – 5
– 0.25 * Patricia = – 5
Patricia = (– 5) / (– 0.25)
Patricia = + 20
So now we can write the 3 people’s ages:
(a) Patricia = 20
(b) Paul = Patricia – 2 = 20 – 2 = 18
(c) Daniel = 1.25 * Patricia = 1.25 * 20 = 25

<span>Finally, we check our solution against the original question. </span>
Paul is two years younger than Patricia. ……… 20 – 2 = 18 ✔
Daniel is 25% older than Patricia. ……… 25 = 125% * 20 ✔
Ten years ago, Daniel was 50% older than Patricia. 25 – 10 = 150% (20– 10) ✔
Hope that helped :)

Answer:
25 ft^2
Step-by-step explanation:
In direct variation, if y varies directly with x, then the equation has the form
y = kx,
where k is the constant of proportionality. y is proportional to x.
Let's call the area y and the distance x.
Here, the area varies with the square of the distance, so the equation has the form
y = kx^2
Here, y is proportional to the square of x.
We can find the value of k by using the given information.
y = kx^2
When x = 20 ft, y = 16 ft^2.
16 = k(20^2)
k = 16/400
k = 1/25
The equation of the relation is:
y = (1/25)x^2
Now we use the equation we found to answer the question.
What is y (the area) when x (the distance) is 25 ft?
y = (1/25)x^2
y = (1/25)(25^2)
y = 25
Answer: 25 ft^2
The answer for the given question above is FALSE. <span>The sine of an angle in a right triangle is equal to the ratio of the length of the side OPPOSITE to the angle divided by the length of the hypotenuse. I hope this answer helps.</span>
