<h3><u>Solution</u></h3>

<u>Given </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

  • Paul is exactly 6yrs older than jane.
  • jane.the ratio of their ages is5:3

<u>F</u><u>i</u><u>n</u><u>d</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

  • Age off paul.

<h3><u>E</u><u>x</u><u>p</u><u>l</u><u>a</u><u>n</u><u>a</u><u>t</u><u>i</u><u>o</u><u>n</u></h3>

<u>Let,</u>

  • Age of paul = x years
  • Age of jane = y years

<u>A</u><u>c</u><u>c</u><u>o</u><u>r</u><u>d</u><u>i</u><u>n</u><u>g</u><u> </u><u>to</u><u> question</u>

==> x = 6 + y

==> x - y = 6_____(1)

<u>And,</u>

==> x : y = 5:3

==> x/y = 5/3

==> 3x - 5y = 0______(2)

Multiply by 3 in equ(1)

==> 3x - 3y = 18_____(3)

<u>Subtract</u><u> </u><u>equ(</u><u>2</u><u>)</u><u> </u><u>&</u><u> </u><u>(</u><u>3</u><u>)</u>

==> -5y + 3y = -18

==> -2y = -18

==> y = 18/2

==> y = 9

<u>keep </u><u>in </u><u>equ(</u><u>2</u><u>)</u>

==> 3x - 5×9 = 0

==> 3x = 45

==> x = 45/3

==> x = 15

<h3><u>Hence</u></h3>

  • Age of paul = 15 year

How do u measure with a protractor
Zarrin [17]
1. Approximate the measure of your angle. Angles can be categorized in three ways: acute, obtuse, and right. Acute angles are less than 90 degrees, obtuse angles are greater than 90 degrees, and right angles are exactly 90 degrees.

2. Place the origin over the center point, or vertex, of the angle you want to measure. The small hole in the middle of the protractor is the origin. Put the vertex of the angle with the center of the cross in the origin.

3. Rotate the protractor to line up one leg of the angle with the baseline. Maintain the vertex of the angle in the origin and rotate the protractor so that one of the legs of the angle falls on the baseline of the protractor.<span>The baseline is even to the edge, but is not the flat edge of the protractor. It is lined up with the center of the origin and the line projects to the start of the scale on either side.

</span>4. Follow the opposite leg of the angle up to the measurements on the protractor's arc. If the line does not pass through the protractor’s arc, make the angle's line longer until it does. You can align the edge of a piece of paper with the angle’s leg to pass beyond the edge of the protractor, continuing the line of the angle. The number the line passes through is the angle's measurement in degrees. <span><span>

Emegergency asap or my mom will kill me. first off it can be. Consider the triple 6, 8, and 10.
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

Yes: (3,4,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

10² = 6² + 8²

(10/2)² = (6/2)² + (8/2)²

5² = 3² + 4²

25 = 9 + 16

25 = 25

The sides satisfy the pythagoras theorem

10 is the hypotenuse, 6 & 8 are the legs

5 is the hypotenuse, 3 & 4 are the legs

A 12 sided number cube with the numbers 1 through 12 is rolled.Select from the drop down menu to correctly complete the statemen
ioda
The 12 sided cube with the numbers 1 to 12 is rolled. That means it can land on any number from 1 to 12. The number of total possible outcomes is 12. The number of favourable outcomes, that is, the number of times the cube lands on a number than 4 is 12-1=11.
Probability=Number of favourable outcomes/number of total possible outcomes
= 11/12
= 0.92
I really hope this helps! And pls mark it as brainliest.

A circle with radius 12 cm has a segment with a central angle of 60. What is the area of the segment?​
slava [35]

Answer:

Exact Area = 24pi square cm

Approximate Area = 75.36 square cm  (when using pi = 3.14)

Note: "square cm" can be abbreviated to "cm^2" without quotes.

=============================================================

Explanation:

Let's find the area of the full circle with radius r = 12

A = pi*r^2

A = pi*12^2

A = 144pi  

This is the exact area of the full circle in terms of pi. To get the approximate area, you would replace pi with something like 3.14 (though you could use more decimal digits in pi to get a more accurate area).

We found the area of the full circle, but we only want a pie slice of it. Each slice is 60 degrees, out of 360 total. So that means we want 60/360 = 1/6 of the full area.

In other words, there are 6 slices because 360/60 = 6, which means we'll divide the area we got by 6

(144pi)/6 = (144/6)pi = 24pi

The exact area of the pie slice is 24pi square cm

If you used the approximation pi = 3.14, then that leads to an approximate answer of 24*pi = 24*3.14 = 75.36 square cm
