This has been posted here before. Couldn't figure it out then. 😦
Seems straightforward, but it is deceptively hard!
Sure we can
Cat=40, turtle=20, table=150
Yup you go it. Although the cat and turtle height is undefined. They can be 100 cm and 80 cm and the Table will still be 150 cm!
I think cat and turtle height depend on each other: the cat needs to be 20 cm taller than the turtle. Apart from that, their absolute heights are undefined, right?
Yup that's right. There are 2 equations and 3 unknowns so this is expected.
wish I paid more attention in class
my mind is melted....i cant get over why they would be different heights....lol
