Step by step​

Answer 1

$\setlength{\unitlength}{1cm} \begin{picture}(6,6) \put(2, 2){\line(0, 1){2}} \put(2,4){\circle{0.9}} \put(4, 2){\line(0, 1){3}} \put(4,5){\circle{0.9}} \put(1.5,2.3){\vector(0, 1){1}}\put(0.7,3){\sf xcm} \put(4.2,2.3){\vector(0, 1){2}}\put(4.2,3){\sf 11 + xcm} \end{picture}$

Given:

• Madhu is 11cm taller than her friend
• Height of Madhu's Friend = x cm

Find:

• Height of Madhu

Solution:

Here, Madhu's friend age = x cm

It is says that Madhu is 11 cm taller than her friend

So,

$\sf \dashrightarrow Age \: of \: Madhu = age \: of \: her \: friend + 11$

$\sf \dashrightarrow Age \: of \: Madhu = x + 11$

$\sf \dashrightarrow Age \: of \: Madhu = x + 11cm$

$\sf \therefore Age \: of \: Madhu = x + 11cm$

_________________________

Hence, Madhu's age will be x + 11cm
