Answer:

Father's age is 50, Son's age is 10

Step-by-step explanation:

X+Y=60

X-Y= 40

Let X represent the Father's age while Y represents the Son's age;

therefore, from the two equations, the value of X is

X= 60-Y

X= 40+Y  then putting in the value of x

(40+Y) + Y= 60,

40+2Y=60

2Y=60-40 =20

Y= 10,

Now that we know the value of Y, we can get the value of x

If X+Y=60, then

X+10=60,

X=60-10,

X= 50

Answer:

Father = 50 years old

Son = 10 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Father's age = x

The sum of their age is 60 years old.

Son's age = 60 - x

Given that their difference is 40 years old.

x - (60 - x) = 40

x - 60 + x = 40

2x - 60 = 40

2x = 100

x = 50

Father's age

= x

= 50 years old

Son's age

= 60 - x

= 60 - 50

= 10 years old

It is a solid shape that contains lateral surface and two circular bases which are parallel and congruent.
ad-work [718]

Answer:

B (cylinder)

Step-by-step explanation:

Two <u>circular</u> bases which are parallel and congruent :

This basically means that the shape contains a circular base (supposedly the bottom), but since it has two bases, its on the top and the bottom. Because it's congruent, the bases are both equal in shape and size. It is also parallel as well, in which the bases have the same distance between them.

The cube doesn't have any circular bases.

The sphere doesn't have any faces, nor edges.

A cone has a circular base, but it doesn't have two.

A cylinder has two circular bases, as well as they are parallel and congruent.

So, your answer is B (cylinder).

Hope this helped !

the circumference of a circle is 11pi inches. what is the area, in square inches, of the circle? express in terms of pi.
zmey [24]
Circumference = 2 * pi * r, where r is the radius
For this circle, the circumference is 11pi, so 11pi=2*pi*radius. Divide both sides by 2pi and you get r is = to 5.5 inches.

Area of a circle is pi*r^2. Since we just saw that r = 5.5 inches, the circle has an area of 5.5 inches * 5.5 inches * pi or 30.25 pi inches squared.
