Alvin's age + Elga's age = 84
2R + R = 84
3 R = 84
3/ 3 R = 84/ 3
R = 28
Elga's age is 28
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
to solve this problem we can use the Pythagorean theorem
UT and TL are the legs, while LU is the hypotenuse
We have to find LU so we can proceed like this
x^2 + (x+1)^2 = LU^2
x^2 + x^2 + 1 + 2x = LU^2
2x^2 + 2x + 1 = LU^2
LU = +/- 
we have to take only the positive value because a length can’t be negative.
2x^2 + 2x + 1 is positive for every value of x, so the final answer is

You would solve it by multiplying the sides of the triangle
