Answer: Father 35 Eric 2

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 33 = Father age

x = Eric age

x(x+33) = 70

x^2 + 33x - 70 = 0

= (x + 35) (x - 2) using distributive property

Not 100% sure but Eric can be 18.5 years old and his father can he 51.5 years old.

52 - 33 = 19; 52 + 19 = 71
51 - 33 = 18; 51 + 18 = 69
51.5 - 33 = 18.5; 51.5 + 18.5 = 70

I hope this helps.

You need to remove a tree from your front yard. You have climbed the tree and trimmed off the branches, and you are now ready to

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

26 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the required wire =l

The height of the tree =24 cm

We want the tree to fall to the ground 10 feet away from the base.

Ths problem forms a right triangle which I have drawn and attached below.

To determine the length of the wire l required, we use Pythagoras theorem to solve for the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

$B$y Pythagoras theorem: Hypotenuse^2=Opposite^2+Adjacent^2\\$Therefore:\\l^2=24^2+10^2\\l^2=676\\$Take the square root of both sides\\l=\sqrt{676}\\ l=26$ feet$

Thw wire must be 26 feet long to reach the ground.
