How old am I if 500 reduced by 2 times my age is 388

1 answer:

4 0

Remember you can do anything to an equation as long as you do it to both sides
a=age

500 reduced by 2 times a is equal to 388

500-2a=388
minus 500 both sides
-2a=-112
divide both sides by -2
a=56

you are 56

What is the length of the side a ?<br><br> A=

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

$a = 5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that $\triangle CDB$ is a right triangle where its hypotenuse is $\overline{CB}$ . We can also see that $a = CB$ . For this we must use the Pythagorean Theorem.

Recall:

The Pythagorean Theorem states that if you have a right triangle, the principal square root of the sum of the squares of each leg is the length the hypotenuse.

We can see that $CD = 3$ and $DB = 4$

$a = \sqrt{CD^2 +DB^2} \\ a = \sqrt{3^2 +4^2} \\ a = \sqrt{9 +16} \\ a = \sqrt{25} \\ a = 5$

Round 23.5584557678 to the nearest hundredth.

lubasha [3.4K]

The hundredth is the second number to the right of the decimal point. Also, if the number directly to the right of it is 5 or larger, you will have to round up by one.

23.558 becomes 23.56.
