Present age of Selma = s

Present age of Joyce = j

Selma is now 3 times as old as joyce

s=3j........(1)

Four years ago,

s-4=j-4

then

Selma was 4 times as old as joyce

s-4=4(j-4)

s-4=4j-16

s=4j-16+4

s=4j-12.............(2)

Put the value of s in (2) from (1)

3j=4j-12

3j-4j=-12

-j=-12

Multiply by -1 both sides

j=12

Put the value of j in (1)

s=3j

s=3(12)

s=36

Present age of Selma = s = 36 years old

Present age of Joyce = j = 12 years old

Sitting on a park bench, you see a swing that is 100 feet away and a slide that is 80 feet away. The angle between them is 30 de
leva [86]

We are given : Distance of the swing = 100 feet.

Distance of slide = 80 feet.

Angle between swing and slide = 30 degrees.

We need to find the distance between the swing and the slide.

Distance of swing, distance of slide and distance between the swing and the slide form a triangle.

We can apply cosine law to find the distance between the swing and the slide.

c^2 = a^2 +b^2  - 2ab cos C

c^2 = 100^2 +80^2 - 2(100)(80) cos 30°

c^2 = 10000 + 6400 -2* 8000 (\frac{\sqrt{3}} 2)}

c^2 = 16400 - 8000\sqrt{3}

c^2 = 16400 - 13856

c^2 = 2544

c =\sqrt{2544}

c= 50.44

c = 50 feet approximately.

<h3>Therefore, the approximate distance between the swing and the slide is 50 feet.</h3>

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

The experiment design used in this case is the between-subjected design.

Step-by-step explanation:

Between-subject design is a sort of experimental design where the individuals of an experiment are allocated to varied situations, with each individual being treated with only one of the experimental conditions.

In this case three similar ecosystems are designed containing a variety of insects and plants. Then each ecosystem to be exposed to rock music, country music, or a conventional city soundscape for two consecutive weeks.

Then after two weeks period they measured how successful the species were in each ecosystem.

The experiment design used in this case is the between-subjected design.
