Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves
b = 40 - a, c = 42 - a so b + c = 40 - a + 42 - a, ie 82 -2a = 34 so a = 48/2 ie 24 b = 40 - 24 ie 16 and c = 42 - 24 ie 18
40?
If 10% of t = 40, then t = 400 If s = 16% of 400, then s = 64
It's 40.
(t - 10)t=17 = 7(t - 10)t=50 = 40
s is directly proportional to t
-40
a=24 b=16 c=18
The hypotenuse is 56.57 feet.

2a + 2b = 160 But b = a + 40 so 2a + 2(a + 40) = 160 ie 2a + 2a + 80 = 160 or 4a = 80 ie a = 20 Then b = a + 40 gives b = 20 + 40 = 60 Solution: a = 20, b = 60
