The age of Blain is 23 years old
<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>
Let the age of Blain be "a" and age of Jillian be "b"
Given that Blain is two years older than three times Jillians age
So we can frame a equation as:
age of blain = 2 + 3(age of Jillian)
a = 2 + 3b ----- eqn 1
Also given that Jillian is also 16 years younger than Blain
Age of Jillain = Age of Blain - 16
b = a - 16 ---- eqn 2
Substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1
a = 2 + 3(a - 16)
a = 2 + 3a - 48
a - 3a = -46
-2a = -46
a = 23
Thus the age of Blain is 23 years old
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
If AB is a tangent then ∠ ABC = 90° and Δ ABC is right
Using the converse of Pythagoras' identity
If the square of the longest side is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides.
15 is the longest side and 15² = 225
9² + 12² = 81 + 144 = 225
Thus Δ ABC is a right triangle at B
Thus AB is a tangent to the circle at B
