Let y= years ago when dad's age was 4 times son's age

60-y=4(30-y)
60-y=120-4y
-y+4y=120-60
3y=60
y=60/3
y= 20 years ago

Then 30-20= 10 yrs. old, the boys age when his dad was 40 years old.

In the diagram, the straight line ABC is parallel to EFG and DB is parallel to FC. Given that ABD=38 degrees and DFE=62 degrees.
Elanso [62]

Based on the calculations, the measure of angle BDF and CFG are 100° and 38° respectively.

<h3>The condition for two parallel lines.</h3>

In Geometry, two (2) straight lines are considered to be parallel if their slopes are the same (equal) and they have different y-intercepts. This ultimately implies that, two (2) straight lines are parallel under the following conditions:

m₁ = m₂

<u>Note:</u> m is the slope.

<h3>What is the alternate interior angles theorem?</h3>

The alternate interior angles theorem states that when two (2) parallel lines are cut through by a transversal, the alternate interior angles that are formed are congruent.

Based on the alternate interior angles theorem, we can infer and logically deduce the following properties from the diagram (see attachment):

  • <ABD = <BDH = 38°
  • <DFE = <HDF = 62°

For angle BDF, we have:

<BDF = <BDH + <HDF

<BDF = 38° + 62°

<BDF = 100°.

Since angles BDF and DFC are linear pair, they are supplementary angles. Thus, we have:

∠BDF + <DFC = 180°

<DFC = 180 - ∠BDF

<DFC = 180 - 100

<DFC = 80°.

For angle CFG, we have:

∠DFE + <DFC + <CFG= 180°

<CFG = 180° - ∠DFE - <DFC

<CFG = 180° - 62° - 80°

<CFG = 38°.

Alexander has nickels, dimes, and quarters in the ratio of 2:1:8, if 40 of Alexander's coins are quarters, how many nickels and
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

He has 10 nickels and 5 dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

We can take advantage of the ratio by dividing 40 by 8, giving us that every 1 in the ratio = 5. So we can multiply 2 x 5 = 10 and 1 x 5 = 5.

Hope this Helps!
