A girl is 6 years younger than her brother. The
product of their ages is 135. Find their ages.​

Answers

Answer 1
Okay to do this you will need to set up a simple equation and give out variables.
Girls age = x-6
Brother's age= *
the you will take those 2 and add them and place them equil to 135 like so:

x-6+x=135
2x-6+6=135+6
2x=141
2x/2=141/2
x=70.5
The brothers age would be 70.5 then and the girl's would be 64.5
Answer 2
Answer:Brother's age = 15Sister's age = 9

=============================================================

Work Shown:

x = brother's age, which is some positive whole number

x-6 = sister's age, since she is 6 years younger than her brother

The product is the result of multiplication, so we multiply x and (x-6) to get 135

x*(x-6) = 135

x^2-6x = 135

x^2-6x-135 = 0

Use the quadratic formula to solve from here

We plug in a = 1, b = -6, c = -135

[tex]x = \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\x = \frac{-(-6)\pm\sqrt{(-6)^2-4(1)(-135)}}{2(1)}\\\\x = \frac{6\pm\sqrt{576}}{2}\\\\x = \frac{6\pm24}{2}\\\\x = \frac{6+24}{2}\ \text{ or } \ x = \frac{6-24}{2}\\\\x = \frac{30}{2}\ \text{ or } \ x = \frac{-18}{2}\\\\x = 15\ \text{ or } \ x = -9\\\\[/tex]

x represents the brother's age, in years. So x must be positive.

Since x must be positive, this means we rule out x = -9

The value x = 15 is the only practical solution.

If x = 15, then x-6 = 15-6 = 9

The brother is 15 years old and the sister is 9 years old.

The product of their ages is 15*9 = 135, which confirms the answers.

In triangle ABC, one angle measures 68°, another measures 19°, what is the measure of the third angle? *

Answers

Answer:

93°

Step-by-step explanation:

In triangle ABC

one angle = 68°

Another angle = 19°

Let the third angle be X Then

x + 68° + 19° = 180° { being sum of angles of triangle }

x = 180° - 87°

x = 93°

The measure of the third Angle is 93°

Given a right triangle ABC, if the measure of angle A is 77', and cos (77) = sin(0).
what is the value of 0 ?

Answers

Answer:  Theta = 13 degrees

==========================================================

Rule:

If cos(A) = sin(B), then A+B = 90

This can be proven through the use of drawing a right triangle with acute angles A and B. Let's say C is the 90 degree angle.

Then note how cos(A) = adjacent/hypotenuse = AC/AB while sin(B) = opposite/hypotenuse = AC/AB. We see that both evaluate to AC/AB. So this confirms cos(A) = sin(B) is true.

The condition that A+B = 90 is from from the fact that any pair of acute angles of a right triangle are complementary angles.

-------------------------

Using that rule, we can say

cos(77) = sin(theta)

leads to

77+theta = 90

and that solves to

theta = 90-77 = 13

The American system of government is structured around the concept of checks and balances. In that system, each branch of government is supposed to provide a check on the other branches to prevent any one branch from consolidating too much power and authority. The system though is not foolproof and sometimes those checks have failed. When that has happened in other countries, it becomes possible for one branch of government, usually the President, to consolidate power and abuse their authority. For this response paper, discuss what you think would happen in the United States if an elected President attempted to undermine democratic norms and tried to turn into an authoritarian ruler or dictator who consolidated political power and could make virtually all political decisions on their own. Be specific about which aspects of the American political system you think would prevent the President from turning into this type of ruler and which aspects of the American political system may allow a President to turn into this type of ruler.
