Let Zia's age be = x years

Raj is three years older than Zia, so Raj's age = x+3 years

As the sum of the squares of their ages is 369, so

x^{2}+(x+3)^{2}=369

x^{2}+x^{2}+6x+9=369

2x^{2}+6x+9=369

2x^{2}+6x-360=0

Factoring 2 out we have,

x^{2}+3x-180=0

Now solving this equation,

x^{2}+15x-12x-180=0

x(x+15)-12(x+15)

(x+15)(x-12)

x=-15 and x=12

Neglect the negative value as x cannot be negative

So x=12

Hence, Zia's age is 12 years and

Raj's age is 12+3 = 15 years

Answer:

y = -3+ rx

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Base = -3C

Time = x

Required

Determine the equation (y)

Let the steady rate be represented with r.

So, the equation (y) can be determined using:

y = Base + Rate * Time

y = -3+ r* x

y = -3+ rx

Use the figure to determine the intersection of planes EAB and EFG
vredina [299]

Answer:

Option (3). EF

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure attached,

Plane defined by EAB can be represented by the face EABF of the square prism also.

Similarly, plane EFG can be represented by the face EFGH of the prism.

Now these sides EABF and EFGH are joining each other at the edge EF of the cuboid.

Therefore, intersection of the given planes is EF.

Option (3) will be the answer.
