See the picture attached to better understand the problem
we know that
a full circle is a 360 degrees
divided in 12 equals parts-------> 360/12-------> 30 degrees each part
<span>the smallest angle formed by the hands of a clock at 7 o'clock has 5 parts
so
5*30</span>°------> 150°
convert to radian
pi radians---------> 180°
x ---------------> 150°
x=150*pi/180--------> x=0.83*pi radians
the answer is0.83*pi radians or 2.62 radians
my answer is in the image above
Let x represent the length of the shorter leg.
Longer leg: 5x +19
Hypotenuse: 5x +20
Pythagorean theorem:
.. x^2 +(5x +19)^2 = (5x +20)^2
.. x^2 +25x^2 +190x +19^2 = 25x^2 +200x +20^2 . . . . . . eliminate parentheses
.. x^2 -10x -39 = 0
.. (x -13)(x +3) = 0
.. x = 13 . . . . . . . . . . leg lengths must be positive
The side length of the triangle are 13, 84, 85 feet.
A) 20.9
b) (230 + x) / 12 = 22
230 + x = 264
x = 34 years old
