I'm not sure if this is right but you can set up an equation and solve to find Maggie's age:

Maggie's brother's age = b
Maggie's age = m

b = 12 - 3m
44 = 12-3m
12-3m = 44
-12 -12
-3m = 32
÷ 3 ÷3
m = 10.67

So this would be Maggie's age

I hope this helped :)

I'm confused, can someone help?

To solve for S, you would want to get rid of the denominator so multiply 360 onto both sides. then the equation is 360A=pi times r squared times S. Divide both sides by pi and r squared and you get S=360A/pi times r squared

Find the missing lengths of the sides

Kay [80]

Your answer would be A.

according to the 30°, 60°, 90° triangle rules,
side a would equal x
$side \: b \: would \: equal \: x \sqrt{3}$
and side c would equal 2x

Find the volume of a sphere that has a surface area of 16 sq. in.

Vaselesa [24]

Given the surface area of the sphere, for us to obtain the volume we need to get the value of the radius. The surface area of the sphere is given by:
S.A=4πr^2
hence the radius can be calculated as follows;
16=4πr^2
4=πr^2
r=(4/π)^(1/2)
volume of a sphere is given by:
V=4/3πr^3
=4/3*π*(4/π)^(1/2))^3
=32/3 cubic inches
