The answer to your question is -10
Answer:
41 years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent age of younger child.
We have been given that a mother has two children whose ages differ by 5 years. So the age of older child would be
.
The sum of the squares of their ages is 97. We can represent this information in an equation as:

Let us solve for x.



Divide both sides by 2:






Since age cannot be negative, therefore, age of younger child is 4 years.
Age of older child would be 
Therefore, the age of older child would be 9 years.
We have been given that the square of the mother's age can be found by writing the squares of the children's ages one after the other as a four-digit number.
Square of 4: 
Square of 9:
.
Square of mother's age: 
To find mother's age, we need to take positive square root of 1681 as:

Therefore, the mother is 41 years old.
Given:
CDEF is dilated by a scale factor of
to form the quadrilateral C'D'E'F'.
To find:
The measure of side E'F'.
Solution:
If a figure is dilated by a scale factor of k, then the side of dilated figure is k times of corresponding side of original figure.
CDEF is dilated by a scale factor of
to form the quadrilateral C'D'E'F'. So,

From the given figure it is clear that
. So,


Therefore, the measure of side E'F' is 9 units.
