Answer:

Devante is 23 and Savannah is 32.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up a system of equations.

s - savannah's age

d - devante's age

s = d + 9

s + d = 53

Now we can substitute (d + 9) for s in the second equation.

(d + 9) + d = 53

2d + 9 = 53

2d = 46

d = 23

To find Savannah's age, we just add 9 to Devante's age. (plugging in 23 for d)

23 + 9 = 32

s = 32

Can 5ft 9ft 14ft make a triangle?

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

Any dimensions can make a triangle, however

this does not make a right angled triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Determine the length of the hypotenuse of a right angle triangle with side lengths 5ft and 9ft by using the formula:

$a^2+b^2=c^2\\$

$\sqrt{a^2+b^2} = c$

$c=10.29$

This is not equal to 14ft.

We need to substitute x with 5 because the question is asking how many squats Carlos has completed if he completed 5.

3 x 5 = 15

Therefore, Carlos completed 15 squats as part of his football workout.

By the way, this question is very simple and basic. I recommend reviewing Algebra for your benefit/

What is the perimeter and area of a rectangle with sides equal to 5 inches and 7 inches? Perimeter = _________________ inches ar

kolezko [41]

Area: 35 inches

Perimeter: 24

Here's how I got my answer:

Area: The formula for the area of a rectangle is $length * width$ . So if we plug that in, it would be $5 * 7$ , which is 35.

Perimeter: You can get the perimeter by adding all the sides together, which is $5 + 5 + 7 +7$ , which is 24.
