Answer:

Robert is 17 years old

Kent is 13 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, let's say that Robert is X years old, and Kent is X - 5 Years old, since he is 5 years younger. Since their ages together add up 39 years old, set these values next to one another.

x + x + 5 = 39

Add Like Terms

2x + 5 = 39

Cancel out the 5

2x = 34

Divide by 2

x = 17

With this, x is 17. This means that Robert is 17 years old since his age was x. With Kent he is 13 years old since 17 - 5 = 13.

The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 6 inches. if one of the legs is 2 inches, find the degree measure of each angle

miskamm [114]

A and b are the 2 smaller sides, and c = hypotenus; only for right triangles,
Pythagorean Theorem states that:
${c}^{2} = {a}^{2} + {b}^{2}$
given c = 6 in., a = 2 in.
${c}^{2} = {a}^{2} + {b}^{2} \\ {6}^{2} = {2}^{2} + {b}^{2} \\ {b}^{2} = {6}^{2} - {2}^{2} = 36 - 4 \\ \sqrt{ {b}^{2} } = \sqrt{36 - 4} = \sqrt{32}$
$b = \sqrt{32} = \sqrt{16} \times \sqrt{2} = 4 \sqrt{2} \\ b = 5.66 \: inches$
So the three side are 2, 6, and 5.66 inches
