Answer:

  35

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the HCF of the ages. Then we can have ax = 10 represent Lena's age, and bx can represent her dad's age.

The LCM will be abx = 14x, so we have ab = 14.

Factors of 14 are 1·14 and 2·7. Since the ratio of ages is between 30/10 = 3 and 45/10 = 4.5, we must have b/a in that range. This will be the case for ...

  a=2, b=7

For a=2 and ax=10, we have x=5.

The dad's age is bx = 7·5 = 35.

A slide has a diagonal of 10 feet and covers a distance of 8 feet across the ground. How many feet high is the slide at its high
Tasya [4]

So, this creates a triangle once again. If we imagine a slide, the slide itself would be the hypotenuse of the triangle, then if there's a ladder leading up to the slide, that would be the vertical length we're looking for. The feet across the ground would be the distance from the bottom of the slide to the bottom of the ladder.

We can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the missing side length, as this would create a right triangle. | 8^2 + b^2 = 10^2 | 64 + b^2 = 100 | b^2 = 36 | b = 6 feet | The slide is 6 feet high at its highest point.
