Answer:

B. 34

let \: sum \: of  \: ages \: of\: 3 \: people \: be \: x \\ 42 =  \frac{x}{3}  \\ x = 126 \\ let \:age \: of \:  fourth \: person \: be \: y \\ 40 =  \frac{x + y}{4}  \\ 160 = x + y \\ 160 = 126 + y \\ y = 34 \\  = 34 \: years

If Q = 44°<br> then m ST = ______ degrees<br> R = _____ degrees
melomori [17]

Basically, Q is an angle. An angle has an initial side and a terminal side. The initial side is QS, The terminal side is QT. The initial side and the terminal side both intersect the circle. The initial side intersects the circle at point S. The terminal side intersects the circle at point T. This forms arc TS.
<span>Angle Q is what is known as an inscribed angle. Anytime you have an inscribed angle, it will always cut across some arc. The measure of that angle will always be 1/2 the measure of the arc.
</span><span>We're given that angle Q = 44 degrees. This means that the measure of arc TS will be twice the measure of angle Q.
</span>

angle(q)=angle(r) so ans =44

Complete the sentences below the radius of a circle is _____ the length of its diameter. the diameter of a circle is ______ the
son4ous [18]

Answer:

Half;  twice

Step-by-step explanation:

In a circle, the radius is said to be the distance from the center of the circle to any point on the edge of the circle, it is denoted as "r". The radius is called a radii if it is more than one.. The radius of a circle is half the length of the diameter of a circle because the diameter of a circle is the distance of the line that passes through the center of a circle touching both edges of the circle. It is denoted as "d".

Thus,

2r = d

r = d/2

For example, if the radius of a circle is 10cm, the diameter of the circle will be calculated as: d = 2 * 10 = 20cm. Which means if the radius is 10cm, diameter will be 20cm.

Therefore, the radius of a circle is half the length of its diameter. the diameter of a circle is twice the length of its radius
