Answer:  The present age of Harry is 2 years and that of Jim is 6 years.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that in 4 years, Harry’s age will be the same as Jim’s age is now. In 2 years, Jim will be twice as old as Harry will be.

We are to find the present ages of Harry and Jim.

Let x and y represents the present ages of Harry and Jim respectively.

Then, according to the given information, we have

x+4=y~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)\\\\y+2=2(x+2)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(ii)

Substituting the value of y from equation (i) in equation (ii), we get

y+2=2x+4\\\\\Rightarrow x+4+2=2x+4\\\\\Rightarrow 2x-x=2\\\\\Rightarrow x=2.

From equation (i), we get

y=x+4=2+4=6.

Thus, the present age of Harry is 2 years and that of Jim is 6 years.

The area of a square is stored in a double variable named area. write an expression whose value is length of the diagonal of the
lbvjy [14]

First of all, a bit of theory: since the area of a square is given by

A = s^2

where s is the length of the square. So, if we invert this function we have

s = \sqrt{A}.

Moreover, the diagonal of a square cuts the square in two isosceles right triangles, whose legs are the sides, so the diagonal is the hypothenuse and it can be found by

d = \sqrt{s^2+s^2} = \sqrt{2s^2} = s\sqrt{2}

So, the diagonal is the side length, multiplied by the square root of 2.

With that being said, your function could be something like this:

double diagonalFromArea(double area) {

double side = Math.sqrt(area);

double diagonal = side * Math.sqrt(2);

return diagonal;

}

From Tony's seat in the classroom, his eyes are 1.0 m above ground. On the wall 4.2 m away, he can see the top of a blackboard t
Semmy [17]

Answer:

15 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a horizontal segment approximately 4 inches long. Label the right endpoint A and the left endpoint C. Label the length of AC 4.2 meters. That is the horizontal distance between the eye and the blackboard.

At the right endpoint, A, draw a vertical segment going up, approximately 1 inch tall. Label the upper point E, for eye. Label segment EA 1 meter since the eye is 1 meter above ground.

At the left endpoint of the horizontal segment, point C, draw a vertical segment going up approximately 2 inches. Label the upper point B for blackboard. Connect points E and B. Draw one more segment. From point E, draw a horizontal segment to the left until it intersects the vertical segment BC. Label the point of intersection D.

The angle of elevation you want is angle BED.

The length of segment BC is 2.1 meters. The length of segment CD is 1 meter. That means that the length of segment BD is 1.1 meters.

To find the measure of angle BED, we can use the opposite leg and the adjacent leg and the inverse tangent function.

BD = 1.1 m

DE = 4.2 m

tan <BED = opp/adj

tan <BED = 1.1/4.2

m<BED = tan^-1 (1.1/4.2)

m<BED = 15

Answer: 15 degrees

Mukat has five times as many book as usha.If mukat gave 16 books to usha,they each would have the same number.how many books did
vladimir1956 [14]

Mukat gets 40, Usha gets 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Mukat = 5 × Usha

After Mukat gives Usha 16 books ,Usha gets (16 + initial number of books) and Mukat gets (5 × Usha - 16)

Then Mukat = final number of books for Usha

5 × Usha - 16 = Usha + 16

(5 × Usha ) - Usha = 16+16

4 × Usha = 32

Usha = 8 i.e her number of books.

Mukat = 5×8=40.
