He would be 120 yrs old because 60 times 4 is 240 and the son is half of his age so 240 divided by 2 is 120 hope this helped

60 because when the father is 4 times his age he would be 120, and we know that when the father was 60 the boy was 30.
That would make the boy 60

Answer:

option D. 126 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the scale factor

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and this ratio is called the scale factor

In this problem

Triangles PQR and XYZ are similar by AA Similarity Theorem

$\frac{XY}{PQ}=\frac{YZ}{QR}=\frac{XZ}{PR}$

Let

z ---> the scale factor

$z=\frac{XY}{PQ}$

substitute the given values

$z=\frac{30}{5}=6$

step 2

Find the perimeter of triangle XYZ

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its perimeters is equal to the scale factor

Let

z ----> the scale factor

p_1 ----> the perimeter of triangle XYZ

p_2 ---> the perimeter of triangle PQR

$z=\frac{p_1}{p_2}$

The perimeter of triangle PQR is

$p_2=5+10+6=21\ cm$

we have

$z=6\\p_2=21\ cm$

substitute

$6=\frac{p_1}{21}$

$p_1=6(21)=126\ cm$

therefore

The perimeter of triangle XYZ is 126 cm
