Answer:
x = 16 y = 22.627 (or 16)
Step-by-step explanation:
cos(45) = 16/y
y = 16/cos(45)
y = 22.627
tan(45) = 16/x
x = 16/tan(45)
x = 16
*this can also be found because we know this is a right triangle with two angles of 45 degrees. This means that both sides will be equal so x will be 16 and the diagonal will be 16 root 2 (22.627)
Answer:
Your age(a) is 15 in this case.
If your brother is 1/3 of your age, that means multiply your brother's age by 3
Your sister is 9, and is 4 years older than your brother. In that case, we now know that your brother is 5
With that information, we can put this into a valid equation.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<em>turn 1/3 into a flipped fraction, 3/1 which is equal to 3</em>
<em>your brother's age is 5, so the first value would be 5</em>
<em>5 times 3 is 15, so that means a is 15</em>
