R(c) = Ralph's current age
R(c)= 3x [given]
Answer:
R(c)=2x + 4
The 2 represents how much older Ralph is than Sarah, then the plus 4 equals the amount of years that has gone by since Sarah's original age.

Answer:

Sara present is 4 years and Ralph present age is 3x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, x represents Sarah's present age  then

According to question

Ralph is 3 times as old as Sara.

that is present age of Ralph = 3x

After 4 years age of Sara will be x + 4

and age of Ralph will be 3x + 4.

According to question,

In 4 years, Ralph will be only twice as old as Sara will be then.

⇒ 3x + 4 = 2( x + 4)

Solving for x, we get,

⇒ 3x + 4 = 2 x + 8

⇒ 3x -2x = 8 - 4

⇒ x = 4.

Thus, Sara present is 4 years and Ralph present age is 3x = 12

IgorLugansk [536]
Let
x----> the length side of the hypotenuse
y----> the length side of the <span>unknown leg

we know that
x=2*y----> equation 1
applying the Pythagoras Theorem
x</span>²=y²+3²-----> equation 2

substitute equation 1 in equation 2
[2*y]²=y²+3²----> 4*y²-y²=9-----> 3*y²=9----> y²=3
y=√3 ft
x=2*y----> x=2*√3 ft

the answer is
<span>the lengths of the three sides are
</span>hypotenuse=2√3 ft
one leg=√3 ft
other leg=3 ft
