Answer: 26 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Create an equation with Austin as x and Jamie as x+69 (I just like workin with addition signs more)= 4(x-3)= x+69-3
Simplify the equations --> 4x-12=x+66
Solve the equation: 3x-12=66 --> 3x=78 --> x=26

This is the same as other age problems, just with the extra step of distributing the multiplication.

Answer:

a) 3.675 m

b) 3.67m

Explanation:

We are given acceleration due to gravity on earth = $9.8ms^-2$

And on planet given = $2.0ms^-2$

A) Since the maximum jump height is given by the formula

$\mathrm{H}=\frac{\left(\mathrm{v} 0^{2} \times \sin 2 \emptyset\right)}{2 \mathrm{g}}$

Where H = max jump height,

v0 = velocity of jump,

Ø = angle of jump and

g = acceleration due to gravity

Considering velocity and angle in both cases

$\frac{\mathrm{H} 1}{\mathrm{H} 2}=\frac{\mathrm{g} 2}{\mathrm{g} 1}$

Where H1 = jump height on given planet,

H2 = jump height on earth = 0.75m (given)

g1 = 2.0 $ms^-2$ and

g2 = 9.8 $ms^-2$

Substituting these values we get H1 = 3.675m which is the required answer

B) Formula to find height of ball thrown is given by

$\mathrm{h}=(\mathrm{v} 0 * \mathrm{t})+\frac{\mathrm{a} *\left(t^{2}\right)}{2}$

which is due to projectile motion of ball

Now h = max height,

v0 = initial velocity = 0,

t = time of motion,

a = acceleration = g = acceleration due to gravity

Considering t = same on both places we can write

$\frac{\mathrm{H} 1}{\mathrm{H} 2}=\frac{\mathrm{g} 1}{\mathrm{g} 2}$

where h1 and h2 are max heights ball reaches on planet and earth respectively and g1 and g2 are respective accelerations

substituting h2 = 18m, g1 = 2.0 $ms^-2$ and g2 = 9.8 $ms^-2$

We get h1 = 3.67m which is the required height

Is this a right triangle?

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

A right triangle, by definition, must have at a 90° angle, typically denoted by a square. In the given picture, there is a square within the triangle where an angle is, denoting that it is a right angle. ∴ by definition given above, this is a right triangle.
