Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let the age of son be x

x+x+20=40

2x=40-20

x=20/2

x=10

since age of a father is 20 more than his son's so,

x+20=father's age

10+20

therefore fathers age is thirty years and son age is 10 years

Answer:

20 is the father's 20 is the son

Step-by-step explanation:

20+20=40

40/2=20

40-20=20

another way:

20:n= 40

40-20=20

20:20=40

M is the incenter of triangle ABC. Find the lengths of MD and DC. (Look at pic)

Deffense [45]

Answer:

Part 1) $MD=9\ units$

Part 2) $DC=12\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Find the length of MD

we know that

The incenter is the intersection of the angle bisectors of the three vertices of the triangle. Is the point forming the origin of a circle inscribed inside the triangle

In this problem

$MD=ME=MF$ ------> is the radius of a circle inscribed inside the triangle

we have that

$MF=9\ units$

therefore

$ME=9\ units$

$MD=9\ units$

Step 2

Find the length of DC

we know that

In the right triangle MDC

Applying the Pythagoras theorem

$MC^{2} =MD^{2}+DC^{2}$

we have

$MD=9\ units$

$MC=15\ units$

substitute

$15^{2} =9^{2}+DC^{2}$

$DC^{2}=225-81$

$DC=\sqrt{144}\ units$

$DC=12\ units$

What is the total cost of 0.5 pound of peaches selling for $0.80 per pound and 0.7 pound of oranges selling for $0.90 pet pound?

kari74 [83]

The total cost for peaches is $0.40 you get that by (0.5)(0.80) as for oranges (0.7)(.90)=$0.63 so $0.40+$0.63=$1.03
