Answer: 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a triangle = base * height.

Since the inside figure is a square, the base of the triangle must be 5.

To find the height: The length of the entire figure is 17; subtract 5 to account for the square, and you know that the remaining 12 must be divided easily on the right and left side; this shows that the height of the triangle on the left must be 6.

Plug these numbers into the formula: 5 * 6 / 2 = 15 :)

Answer:

the answer is 29

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is 12 because

the length is 17 then i did minus 5 since that's the width

17-5=12

that's the length for the slanted part then......

12+12=24+5=29

(you get 5 from if you see the straight line on the right is 5 so on the other its the same thing.

earnstyle [38]

Ratio of George’s age to Carl’s age to Alex’s age is 1 : 12 : 4

Solution:

Let "a" be the age of Alex

Let "g" be the age of George

Let "c" be the age of Carl

Alex is 12 years older than George

Therefore,

Age of Alex = 12 + Age of George

a = 12 + g

g = a - 12 ---- eqn 1

Carl is Three times older than Alex

Age of Carl = 3 x Age of Alex

c = 3a -------- eqn 2

The sum of their ages is 68

age of Alex + age of George + age of Carl = 68

a + g + c = 68 ----------- eqn 3

Substitute eqn 1 and eqn 2 in eqn 3

a + a - 12 + 3a = 68

5a - 12 = 68

5a = 12 + 68

5a = 80

a = 16

Substitute a = 16 in eqn 2

c = 3(16) = 48

c = 48

Substitute a = 16 in eqn 1

g = 16 - 12 = 4

g = 4

Find the ratio of George’s age to Carl’s age to Alex’s age

Ratio of George’s age to Carl’s age to Alex’s age = g : c : a

g : c : a = 4 : 48 : 16

Divide the above ratio by 4 to reduce to lowest terms

g : c : a - 1 : 12 : 4

Thus ratio of George’s age to Carl’s age to Alex’s age is 1 : 12 : 4

Step-by-step explanation:

since you start with 12. 7 and gain .24 each year, you would multiply the years by. 24 and just add the 12. 7 I hope this makes sense. also I love your profile picture :)
