Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Ama's sister is 12 now and Ama is 8. 8/12 simplified is 2/3.

Four years ago Ama's would have been 4 and her sister would have been 8. 4/8 simplified is 1/2.

The equations:

(Ama is a)

(Ama's sister is s)

a = (2/3)s

a - 4 = (1/2)(s - 4)

Step one:

You would substitute the first equation into the second equation to get

(2/3)s - 4 = (1/2)(s - 4)

Step two:

Multiply by 6 to get rid of the fractions to get

4s - 24 = 3(s - 4)

Step three:

Simplify to get

4s - 24 = 3s - 12

Step four:

Subtract 3s and add 24 to get

s = 12

Step five:

Input the s value into the first equation to get

a = (2/3)(12) = 8

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

first fill out all sides of the triangle (use pythagorean theorem).

9^2 = 4^2+x^2

x^2 = 81-8 --> x^2 = 73 --> x = √73

csc theta --> hyp/opp

sin theta --> opp/hyp

cot theta --> adj/opp

hyp = 9, adj = 4, opp = √73

csc = 9/√73 --> 9√73/73

sin = √73/9

cot = 4/√73
