Answer:et

m = the age of Maggie

b = the age of her brother

Maggie's brother is 3 years younger than twice her age:

b = 2m - 3

The sum of their ages is 24:

m + b = 24

by solving the system of equations:

b = 2m - 3

m + b = 24

we find

b = 15 years

m = 9 years

The triangle below is equilateral. Find the length of side 2 in simplest radical form

Masteriza [31]

Answer:

$x=\frac{4\sqrt{3}}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure attached,

ΔABC is an equilateral triangle.

Therefore, by the property of the equilateral triangle,

Measure of each angle = 60°

By applying tangent rule in the right triangle ADC,

$\text{tan}(60^{\circ})=\frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Adjacent side}}$

$\sqrt{3}=\frac{4}{x}$

$x=\frac{4}{\sqrt{3}}$

$x=\frac{4}{\sqrt{3}}\times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3} }$

$x=\frac{4\sqrt{3}}{3}$

What is the radius for the circle given by the equation?

alisha [4.7K]

Use:

$(a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2\qquad(*)$

$x^2+y^2-6y-12=0\ \ \ \ |+12\\\\x^2+y^2-6y=12\\\\x^2+y^2-2y\cdot3=12\ \ \ \ |+3^2\\\\x^2+\underbrace{y^2-2\cdot y\cdot3+3^2}_{(*)}=12+3^2\\\\x^2+(y-3)^2=21\\\\\boxed{k=3}$
