The answer is that AL is equal to 16.

Given that in triangle ABC, m∠C=90,
it means m∠A +∠B= m∠BAC + m∠ABC = 90
m∠ABC = 90 - m∠BAC
Also given that;m∠BAC = 2m∠ABC
So,
m∠BAC = 2(90 - m∠BAC) = 180 - 2m∠BAC
m∠BAC +2m∠BAC = 180
3m∠BAC = 180
m∠BAC=180/3 = 60
m∠ABC = 60/3 = 30
thus,ΔBAC is a 30-60-90 right triangle, in which the ratio of the side lengths is 1:√3:2AC:BC=1:√3, AC=BC/√3BC=24, So,
AC=24/√3=8√3AL bisects angle A =>m∠LAC=30
ΔALC is a 30-60-90 right triangle, in which the ratio of the side lengths is 1:√3:2AC:AL=√3:2AL=2AC/√3=2x8√3/√3=16

Bob's mom is 3 times older than Bob. In 12 years, Bob's mom's age will be twice of
shusha [124]

I would use a chart to solve this problem.

This is a good wya to organize your information.

Down the left side, list the people involved.

I put Bob first and the mom second but the order doesn't matter.

Since Bob's mom is 3 times older than Bob, we can represent

Bob's age now as x and Bob's mom's age now as 3x.

Bob's age in 12 years will be x + 12 and Bob's mom's

age in 12 years will simply be 3x + 12.

Since the second sentence starts with in 12 years,

we will be using the information from our second column.

In 12 years, Bob's mom's age, 3x + 12, will be,

equals, twice of her son's age, 2(x + 12).

Solving from here, we find that x = 12.

This means that Bob's age now is 12 and his mom is 36.

The chart is attached below.

The hands of a clock suggest an angle whose measure is continually changing. How many degrees does a minute hand move through du
katen-ka-za [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

oh, come one ! you can literally see that one ...

a full rotation on a clock is a full circle and stands therefore for 360°.

for the minute hand these 360° represent 60 minutes.

4 minutes of 60 is a fraction, a ratio, and the same ratio applies then also to 360°.

4/60 = 1/15

360 × 1/15 = 24°

so, 4 minutes represent 24°.
