Answer: 4 brothers and 3 sisters for a total of 7 siblings

Step-by-step explanation:

Let No. of boys = x

Let No. of girls = y

<u>Each boy has as many brothers as sisters</u>

Hence, (x - 1) = y

Rearranging we get,

x - y = 1 ……….(1)

<u>Now, each girl has twice as many brothers as that of sisters</u>

Hence, 2 * (y - 1) = x

Solving the bracket we get, 2y - 2 = x

Rearranging we get,

-x + 2y = 2 ……….(2)

Adding (1) and (2) using the elimination method, we get

x - y = 1

-x + 2y = 2

<u>y = 3</u>

Substituting value of Y in equation (1),

x - 3 = 1

Solving this we get,

x = 4

Thus, No. of Boys = 4, No. of Girls = 3 and No. of Siblings in the family = 7

Sam used his calculator to find cos 1.75. he wrote down cos 1.75 = .999. how could sam recognize that his answer is incorrect?
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since π=3.14 and 1.75 should be half of π so cos(1.75) should be in the approximation of \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} or 0.7.

Clearly Sam's calculator is in the degree mode since cos(1.75^{\circ})

is about .999 and obviously, \frac{{\pi}}{2}, So on the unit circle, it will be in the second quadrant.

Thus, cos(1.75) is negative.

The area of this square
ANEK [815]

It appears as if 12cm is half the length of the side so we can assume that the total length of one side is 24cm.


The area of a square is given by the equation A=s^{2} where s is the length of the side.  

A=24^{2}

A=576


The area of this square is 576cm2.


Hope this helps!
