Answer:
Sister = 15 years old
Brother = 12 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
Right now, if the brother is B years old and the sister is S years old, B = (4/5)S because the ratio from brother to sister is 4:5, so if one unit is X, B = 4X and S = 5X
Three years ago, the brother was B-3 years old and the sister was S-3 years old. Keeping one unit as X, we have
B = 3X
S = 4X
B-3 = (3/4)(S-3)
Therefore, we have a system of equations
B = (4/5)S
B-3 = (3/4)(S-3)
Substitute (4/5)S for B into the second equation to only have one variable
(4/5)S - 3 = (3/4)(S-3)
(4/5)S - 3 = (3/4)S - 9/4
add 3 to both sides and subtract (3/4)S from both sides to isolate the variable and its coefficient
(1/20)S = 3/4
multiply both sides by 20 to isolate the S
S = 15
B = (4/5)S = 12
Answer:
(a) 169.1 m
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagram shows you the distance (x) will be shorter than 170 m, but almost that length. The only reasonable answer choice is ...
169.1 m
__
The relevant trig relation is ...
Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse
The leg of the right triangle adjacent to the marked angle is x, and the hypotenuse is 170 m. Putting these values into the equation, you have ...
cos(6°) = x/(170 m)
x = (170 m)cos(6°) ≈ (170 m)(0.994522) ≈ 169.069 m
The horizontal distance covered is about 169.1 meters.
