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

A monument in the shape of a right triangle sits on a rectangular pedestarl that is 7 meters high by 16 meters long. The longest
SashulF [63]

Answer:

height = 63  m

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape of the monument is a triangle. The triangle is a right angle triangle. The triangular monument is sitting on a rectangular pedestal that is 7 m high and 16 m long.  The longest side of the triangular monument is 65 m . The longest side of a right angle triangle is usually the hypotenuse. The adjacent side of the triangle which is the base of the triangle sitting on the rectangular pedestal is 16 m long.

Since the triangle  formed is a right angle triangle, the height of the triangular monument can be gotten using Pythagoras's theorem.

c² = a² + b²

where

c is the hypotenuse side while side a and b is the other sides of the right angle triangle.

65² - 16² = height²

height² = 4225  - 256

height² = 3969

square root both sides

height = √3969

height = 63  m
