Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the larger number.

Let y be the smaller number.

x - y = 5

x^2 - y^2 = 65                   Factor the left.

(x - y)(x + y) = 65               Substitute the first equation into this equation.

5 *(x + y) = 65                   Divide both sides by 5

x + y = 65/5

x + y = 13

Now list the two binomials one after the other.

x + y = 13

x - y =  5                           Add

2x = 18                             Divide by 2

2x/2 = 18/2

x = 9

x + y = 13                          Substitute 9 for x

9 + y = 13                          Subtract 9 from both sides.

y =  13 - 9

y = 4

Answer

  • <em>x = 9</em>
  • <em>y = 4 </em>

david ran on a straight track. every time he ran 480m, he took a break. After 2 breaks, he still had to run 120 m to complete th
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

The distance of the playground is 540m

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are interested in calculating the length of the playground given the information in the question.

Where to attack the question from is the segment that states that he took a break after 480m and also had 2 breaks. Thus, the distance traveled would be 480 * 2 = 960 m

Now, to find the length of the track, we add the distance covered plus the distance uncovered. Mathematically that would be 960m + 120m = 1,080m

In the last part of the question, we are told that the track is twice as long as the playground. This means that the length of the playground or the distance of the playground is 1080/2 = 540 m

Sarah’s stands on a ground and sights the top of a steep Clift at a 60 degree angle of elevation she then steps back 50 meters t
SashulF [63]

Answer:

Cliff is 45 m tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Height of Sarah = 1.8 m

Angle of elevation = 60°

Angle of elevation 50 m back = 30°

As shown in the figure we have two right angled triangles SPQ and SPR.

Let the height of the cliff be h meters and h= h_1+h_s.

Using trigonometric ratios:

tan (Ф) = opposite/adjacent

In ΔSPQ.                                        In ΔSPR.

⇒ tan(60) = \frac{h_1}{x} ...equation (i)        ⇒ tan (30)=\frac{h_1}{x+50}  ...equation (ii)

Dividing equation (i) and (ii)

⇒ \frac{tan(60)}{tan(30)} = \frac{h_1}{x} \times \frac{x+50}{h_1}

⇒ 3 = \frac{x+50}{x}

⇒ 3x=x+50

⇒ 3x-x=50

⇒ 2x=50

⇒ x=\frac{50}{2}

⇒ x=25 meters

To find h_1 plugging x=25 in equation (i)

⇒ h_1=x\times tan(60)

⇒ h_1=25\times 1.73

⇒ h_1=43.25 meters

The height of the cliff from ground :

⇒ h= h_1+h_s

⇒ h= 43.25+1.8

⇒ h=45.05 meters

The cliff is 45 m tall to the nearest meter.
