Answer:

Sally is 63

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent Sally's age by x and Sam's by y.

Then x = 3y and x + y = 84.

Substituting 3y for x in the second equation, we get:

3y + y = 84, or 4y = 84, or y = 21. Since Sally is 3 times as old as Sam, we multiply 21 by 3: Sally's age is 3(21 years) = 63 years

To find:

The radian measure of the given degree measure.

Solution:

We know that,

$\text{Radian measure}=\text{Degree measure}\times \dfrac{\pi}{180^\circ}$

The radian measure of -60 degrees.

$\text{Radian measure}=-60^\circ \times \dfrac{\pi}{180^\circ}$

$\text{Radian measure}=-\dfrac{\pi}{3}$

Therefore, the radian measure of the given degree measure is $-\dfrac{\pi}{3}$ .
