Farmer Ben has only ducks and cows. He can’t remember how many of each he has, but he doesn’t need to remember because he knows

he has 22 animals and 22 is also his age. He also knows that the animals have a total of 56 legs, because 56 is also his father’s age.
Question: Assuming that each animal has all legs intact and no more, how many of each animal does Farmer Ben have?

Answer:

12 cows - 48 legs

4 ducks- 8 legs

- there are many different numbers you can do but if you want to change the numbers and have more ducks then: for every one cow you take away two more ducks.

Step-by-step explanation:

22 total animals

56 total legs

ducks have 2 legs

cows have 4 legs

12 times 4 = 48 ( 12 cows with 4 legs each cow =  48 legs)

4 times 2 = 8 ( 4 ducks with 2 legs each duck = 8 legs)

Answer:

\sqrt{37}

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance between a point (m, n ) and the line

Ax + By + C = 0

d = \frac{|Am +Bn+C|}{\sqrt{A^2+B^2} }

Here (m, n) = (6, 2) and rearranging the line

6x - y + 3 = 0 ← in general form

with A = 6, B = - 1 and C = 3 , then

d = \frac{|6(6)-1(2)+3|}{\sqrt{6^2+(-1)^2} }

   = \frac{|36-2+3|}{\sqrt{36+1} }

   = \frac{37}{\sqrt{37} }  

Rationalise the denominator by multiplying numerator/ denominator by \sqrt{37}

= \frac{37}{\sqrt{37} } × \frac{\sqrt{37} }{\sqrt{37} }

=\frac{37\sqrt{37} }{37} ← cancel 37 on numerator/ denominator

= \sqrt{37}

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

4x^6+12x^5+8x^4

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a triangle, you need to multiply the width by the height. In this case:

(4x^3)(x^3+3x^2+2x)=\\4x^6+12x^5+8x^4

Hope this helps!

What are the values of the trigonometric ratios for this triangle?
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

sin© = 3/5

Cos© = 4/5

Tan© = 3/4

Explanation:

The opposite (opp) side of the right angle triangle is the side facing the angle ©

The hypothenus (hyp) side is the longest side,

The adjacent (adj) side is the third side.

sin© = opp/hyp

Cos© = adj/hyp

Tan© = opp/adj
