Barry is 8 years older than his sister. In 3 years, he will be twice as old as she will be then. How old is each now?

Colt1911 [192]3 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Present age of Barry = b

Present age of sister = s

Barry is 8 years older than his sister means if we subtract 8 from present age of Barry both will be of equal age

s=b-8 ............(1)

In 3 years means we have to add 3 in their present age

s+3=b+3

then

he will be twice as old as

2(s+3)=(b+3

2s+6=b+3

2s=b+3-6

2s=b-3...............(2)

Put the value of s from (1) to (2), we have

2(b-8)=b-3

2b-16=b-3

2b-b=-3+16

b=13

Put the value of b in (1)

s=13-8

s=5

Present age of Barry = b = 13

Present age of sister = s = 5

Please solve these questions for me. i am having a difficult time understanding.

Answer:

1) AD=BC(corresponding parts of congruent triangles)

2)The value of x and y are 65 ° and 77.5° respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

Given : AD||BC

AC bisects BD

So, AE=EC and BE=ED

We need to prove AD = BC

In ΔAED and ΔBEC

AE=EC (Given)

\angle AED = \angel BEC ( Vertically opposite angles)

BE=ED (Given)

So, ΔAED ≅ ΔBEC (By SAS)

So, AD=BC(corresponding parts of congruent triangles)

Hence Proved

2)

Refer the attached figure

\angle ABC = 90^{\circ}

In ΔDBC

BC=DC (Given)

So,\angle CDB=\angle DBC(Opposite angles of equal sides are equal)

So,\angle CDB=\angle DBC=x

So,\angle CDB+\angle DBC+\angle BCD = 180^{\circ} (Angle sum property)

x+x+50=180

2x+50=180

2x=130

x=65

So,\angle CDB=\angle DBC=x = 65^{\circ}

Now,

\angle ABC = 90^{\circ}\\\angle ABC=\angle ABD+\angle DBC=\angle ABD+x=90

So,\angle ABD=90-x=90-65=25^{\circ}

In ΔABD

AB = BD (Given)

So,\angle BAD=\angle BDA(Opposite angles of equal sides are equal)

So,\angle BAD=\angle BDA=y

So,\angle BAD+\angle BDA+\angle ABD = 180^{\circ}(Angle Sum property)

y+y+25=180

2y=180-25

2y=155

y=77.5

So, The value of x and y are 65 ° and 77.5° respectively
