The ages of Carolyn and her dad ,Caleb, sum to 75. Carolyn is half as old as her father. Find the ages of Carolyn and Caleb

1 answer:

4 0

Dad = d
Carolyn = 1/2d
1/2d + d = 75
d = 50

1/2(50) + 50 = 75
25 + 50 = 75
75 = 75

Carolyn = 25 years
Caleb = 50 years

Hope this helps =)

For this case, what we must do is find the distance between each ordered pair.
For this, we use the formula of distance between points.
We have then:
$d = \sqrt{(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2}$

For (0, 0) and (0, 7):
$d1=\sqrt{(0-0)^2+(7-0)^2}$
$d1=\sqrt{(0)^2+(7)^2}$
$d1=\sqrt{0+49}$
$d1=\sqrt{49}$
$d1=7$

For (0, 7) and (5, 7):
$d2=\sqrt{(5-0)^2+(7-7)^2}$
$d2=\sqrt{(5)^2+(0)^2}$
$d2=\sqrt{25+0}$
$d2=\sqrt{25}$
$d2=5$

For (5, 7) and (5, 0):
$d3=\sqrt{(5-5)^2+(7-0)^2}$
$d3=\sqrt{(0)^2+(7)^2}$
$d3=\sqrt{0+49}$
$d3=\sqrt{49}$
$d3=7$

before returning home the total distance is:
$d1 + d2 + d3 = 7 + 5 + 7

d1 + d2 + d3 = 19$

Answer:
before returning home Tommy walks about 19 blocks
