Answer:  Age of Brandon is 24 years.

Age of Michael is 72 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Michael is 3 times as old as Brandon .

Let the age of Brandon be 'x'.

Let the age of Michael be 3x

According to question, 18 years ago, Michael was 9 times as old as Brandon.

18 years ago,

Age of Brandon was x-18

Age of Michael was 3x-18

So, our equation becomes,

9(x-18)=3x-18\\\\9x-162=3x-18\\\\9x-3x=-18+162\\\\6x=144\\\\x=\frac{144}{6}\\\\x=24

Hence, Age of Brandon is 24 years.

Age of Michael is 24×3=72 years.

Analyze the diagram below and answer the question that follows. If 2004-02-01-02-00_files/, what is 2004-02-01-02-00_files/? A.

Option A AY || XV given that A, Y, Z are midpoints of sides XW, VW, XV respectively. This can be obtained by knowing what similar triangles are and finding which sides are proportional.

<h3>Find the correct option:</h3>

Similar triangles: If two triangles have proportional sides the are similar.

For example, if ΔABC and ΔDEF are similar then

\frac{AB}{DE}= \frac{BC}{EF} =\frac{AC}{DF}

∠ABC = ∠DEF and ∠ACB = ∠DFE

Then we can write that, ΔABC ~ ΔDEF

Here in this question,

Since A, Y, Z are midpoints of sides XW, VW, XV

XA = AW

WY = VY

XZ = VZ

To consider sides AY and XV we should take triangles ΔWAY and ΔWXV

\frac{WX}{WA} =\frac{2WA}{WA} = 2  (since A is the midpoint of WX)

\frac{WV}{WY} =\frac{2WY}{WY} = 2  (since Y is the midpoint of WV)  

∠AWY = ∠XWV (reflexive property)

Therefore ΔWAY and ΔWXV are similar triangles

\frac{WX}{WA}= \frac{XV}{AY} =\frac{WV}{WY} = 2

∠WAY = ∠WXV and ∠AYW = ∠XVW

Hence,

AY || XV option A AY || XV given that A, Y, Z are midpoints of sides XW, VW, XV respectively.

Pie

Answer:

= .0000001

Step-by-step explanation:

The odds of getting 1 number of out the 10 possible number (0-9) equal 10 is 1/10

There are 7 numbers to pick

P(xxx-xxxx) = 1/10 * 1/10 *1/10 * 1/10 * 1/10 * 1/10 *1/10

                 = .0000001
