Divide 3.42 by 0.76 to equal 4.5 or

3.42 / 0.76 = 4.5

Therefore, James lives 4.5 times the distance Megan lives from the school.

raj and his sister zia are both at secondary school. Raj is three years older than zia. the sum of the squares of their ages is

steposvetlana [31]

Let's assume

Raj's age is x years

Zia's age is y years

we are given

Raj is three years older than zia

so, we get

$x=y+3$

now, we can solve for y

$y=x-3$

the sum of the squares of their ages is 369

so, we get

$x^2+y^2=369$

now, we can plug back y

$x^2+(x-3)^2=369$

now, we can solve for x

$2x^2-6x+9=369$

$2x^2-6x-360=0$

$x^2-3x-180=0$

$(x+12)(x-15)=0$

$x=-12 , x=15$

Since, age can not be negative

so, we will only consider positive

$x=15$

now, we can find y-value

$y=15-3$

$y=12$

So,

Raj's age is 15 years

Zia's age is 12 years...........Answer

How many centimeters long is a leg of an isosceles right triangle if its hypotenuse has a length of 8√2 centimeters?

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

The leg is 8 cm long

Step-by-step explanation:

An isosceles right triangle has the length of its hypotenuse and opposite equal

Let us call the length x

From Pythagoras’ , the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the two other sides

Thus, we have ;

x^2 + x^2 = (8 √2)^2

2x^2 = 128

x^2 = 128/2

x^2 = 64

x= √64

x = 8 cm
