Kims age was twice that of her sister. When you add Kim's age to her sisters age you, you get 36. How old is each sister?

1 answer:

3 0

Set kim's age to 2x. Set her sister's age to x. Now solve the equation:

2x+x=36
3x=36
x=12.

Remember, her sister's age was x, and x=12, so her sister is twelve. Kim's age is 12*2, so her age is 24.

Which of the following could be the ratio of the length of the longer leg of a 30-60-90 triangle to the length of its hypotenuse

Aliun [14]

Answer:

Option C is correct.

Ratio of longer leg to hypotenuse is; $\sqrt{3} : 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the special right angle triangle 30°-60°-90° as shown below in the figure.

The side opposite the 30° angle is always the shortest because 30 degrees is the smallest angle.

The side opposite the 60° angle will be the longer leg, because 60 degrees is the mid-sized degree angle in this triangle.

Finally , the side opposite the 90° angle will always be the largest side(Hypotenuse) because 90 degrees is the largest angle.

In 30°−60°−90° right triangle,

the length of the hypotenuse is twice the length of the shorter leg,also
the length of the longer leg is $\sqrt{3}$ times the length of the shorter leg.

Then:

the sides are in proportion i.e, $1:\sqrt{3} :2$

Therefore, the ratio of the length of the longer leg to the length of its hypotenuse is: $\sqrt{3} : 2$

Answer:

The equations represent the line that is parallel to 3x - 4y = 7 and pass through the point (-4,-2) are:

$y+2=\frac{3}{4}\left(x+4\right)$

$3x - 4y = -4$

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the line equation

$y = mx+b$

where

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

Given the line

3x - 4y = 7

writing in the slope-intercept form

4y = 3x - 7

dividing both sides by 4

4y/4 = 3/4x - 7/4

y = 3/4x - 7/4

Now, comparing with the slope-intercept form of the line equation

y = 3/4x - 7/4

The slope of the line m = 3/4

We know that parallel lines have the same slopes.

Therefore, the slope of the parallel line is: 3/4

now we have,

The point (-4, -2)

The slope m of parallel line = 3/4

Given the point-slope form of the line equation

$y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right)$

where m is the slope of the line and (x₁, y₁) is the point

substituting (-4, -2) and m = 3/4 in the point-slope form of line equation

$\:y-\left(-2\right)=\frac{3}{4}\left(x-\left(-4\right)\right)$

$y+2=\frac{3}{4}\left(x+4\right)$

Thus, the equation in the point-slope form of the line equation is:

$y+2=\frac{3}{4}\left(x+4\right)$

Simplifying the equation

$y+2=\frac{3}{4}\left(x+4\right)$

Subtract 3 from both sides

$y+2-2=\frac{3}{4}\left(x+4\right)-2$

$y=\frac{3}{4}x+1$

Multiplying the equation by 4

$4y = 3x + 4$

$3x - 4y = -4$

Therefore, the equations represent the line that is parallel to 3x - 4y = 7 and pass through the point (-4,-2) are:

$y+2=\frac{3}{4}\left(x+4\right)$

$3x - 4y = -4$
