Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider right triangle ADH ( it is right triangle, because CH is the altitude). In this triangle, the hypotenuse AD = 8 cm and the leg DH = 4 cm. If the leg is half of the hypotenuse, then the opposite to this leg angle is equal to 30°.
By the Pythagorean theorem,
AL is angle A bisector, then angle A is 60°. Use the angle's bisector property:
Consider right triangle CAH.By the Pythagorean theorem,
The length cannot be negative, so CD=8 cm and
In right triangle ABC, angle B = 90° - 60° = 30°, leg AC is opposite to 30°, and the hypotenuse AB is twice the leg AC. Hence,
By the Pythagorean theorem,
Answer:
Gina is 12 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we will have to write these statements mathematically and then solve.
Let Gina's age be x, let Gina's brother's age be y and let Gina's sister's age be z.
The second statement"Gina's older sister is twice Gina's age" can be mathematically written as: z =2 x ---------------------------(1)
The next statement "Gina's brother is half Gina's age" can be mathematically written as y = ---------------------------------------(2)
Then the next statement "the sum of their ages is 42" can be mathematically written as: x + y + z = 42 ----------------------------(3)
We can now proceed to solve;
Substitute equation (1) and equation(2) into equation (3)
x + y + z = 42
x + + 2x = 42
Multiply through by 2
2x + x + 4x = 84
7x = 84
Divide both-side of the equation by 7
=
x = 12
Therefore, Gina is 12 years old
