Hi!

(l = Lenny
m = Max)

Lenny is 3 times as old as Max.
3m = l

When you subtract Max's age from Lenny's age, you get 24.
L - m = 24

Put in the value of l.
3m - m = 24
There is our equation.

Now solve

2m = 24
2m/2 = 24/2
m = 12

3 * 12 = l
36 = l

The equation is 3m - m = 24
Max is 12 and Lenny is 36.

Hope this helps! :)

3x - x = 24  2x = 24 ÷ 2.   ÷2 (Cancels out) 24 ÷ 2 = 12  Max is 12 years old, Lenny is 36 years old.  ( (12) x 3 = y = 36 )

Marcus drew a quadrilateral with only 1 pair of parallel sides. Which quadrilateral did Marcus draw? parallelogram rhombus trape
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

Trapezoid

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Marcus drew a quadrilateral with only 1 pair of parallel sides. We are asked to determine the quadrilateral that Marcus drew.

We know that a parallelogram has two pair of parallel sides.

We also know that rhombus is a parallelogram whose 4 sides are equal is measure and rectangle is a parallelogram with opposite sides equal.

Since parallelogram, rhombus and rectangle has two pair of parallel sides, therefore, Marcus didn't draw any of these.

We know that trapezoid has only one pair of parallel sides, therefore, Marcus drew a trapezoid.

a woman 1.65. tall stood 50m away from the foot of a tower,and observe that the angle of elevation of the top of the tower to be
ElenaW [278]

\sf\huge\underline{\star Solution:-}

\rightarrowLet the women's height be AE and distance between the women and tower be AC.

Also let the height of tower be BC.

\rightarrowNow, clearly it is forming a triangle.

So, in triangle ABC,

\rightarrow\sf{Tan50° \:= \: \frac{BC}{AC}}

\rightarrow\sf{1.19 \:= \: \frac{BC}{50}}

\rightarrow\sf{1.19 ×50\:= \: BC}

\rightarrow\sf{59.5m\:= \: BC}

\rightarrowHence, BC = 59.5m

So, BD(total height of the tower)\sf{ = \:BC+CD}

\sf{= \:59.5+1.65}

\sf{=\: 61.15m}

Therefore, total height of the tower =\sf\purple{ 61.15m.}
