Answer:

Monica's age = 34 years

Her daughter's age = 10 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Monica's age = x

Let her daughter'sage = y

x + y = 44   -------> equ 1

After 2 years:

Monica's age = x + 2

Her daughter's age = y + 2

x + 2 = 3 * (y+2)

x + 2 = 3y + 6

      x = 3y + 6 -2

      x = 3y + 4

Put x value in equ 1:

    3y + 4 + y = 44

            4y = 44 - 4

             4y = 40

               y = 40/4

               y = 10

x = 44 -10

x = 34

Answer: Monica' present age =34 years

Daughter's present age = 10 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x =  Monica's present age.

y= Her daughter's present age .

As per given , we have

x+y=44\\\\ y=44-x---(i)

After two years,

Monica's age = x+2

Daughter's age = y+2

According to the question,

3(y+2)=x+2---(ii)

Use (i) in (ii), we get

3(44-x+2)=x+2\\\\\Rightarrow\ 3(46-x)=x+2\\\\\Rightarrow\ 138-3x=x+2\\\\\Rightarrow\ x+3x=138-2\\\\\Rightarrow\ 4x=136\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{136}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=34

Put value of x in (i) , we get

y=44-34=10

Hence, Monica' present age =34 years

Daughter's present age = 10 years

Find the scale factor of a cube with volume 216 ft^3 to a cube with volume 1000 ft^3.
Bad White [126]

Answer:

Scale factor of  cube to the smaller cube is 5 : 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of the volumes of two cubes = \frac{\text{volume of large prism}}{\text{Volume of small prism}}

                                                          = \frac{1000}{216}

                                                          = \frac{125}{27}

Scale factor of these cubes = \sqrt[3]{\text{ratio of the volumes of the cubes}}

                                              = \sqrt[3]{\frac{\text{volume of large prism}}{\text{Volume of small prism}}}

                                              = \sqrt[3]{\frac{125}{27} }

                                              = \frac{5}{3}

                                              = 5 : 3

Therefore, scale factor of  cube to the smaller cube is 5 : 3.

Cotθ= tan30° find theta
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

60

Step-by-step explanation:

Cot is the same as 1/tan so:

1/tan(theta) = tan(30)

By rearranging the equation, we get:

1/tan(30) = tan(theta)

By taking the inverse tan, we get:

theta = tan^-1 (1/tan(30)) =60

Describe how to write an equation from a table of values using just the data.
Rama09 [41]

Look at the coordinates and trace those points to a corresponding number on the x or y axis. Then write the first number in the coordinate in the x value and the second number for the y value, repeat the process for the rest of the points.
