Answer:
To find the answer consider that this is a right triangle and we can use the tangent function in order to find the value of x
remember the acronym soh cah toa.
to use the tangent function we divide the opposite and adjacent side that is what the oa stands for in toa
setting it up looks like this
tan 72° =
solving for x gives us x= 8×tan 72°
which is about 24.62

Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of ages of two friends is 13 years.
The product of their ages is 42.
<em>Let the age of 1st friend and 2nd friend is x, y respectively.</em>
<em>1 st condition= The sum of ages of two friends is 13 y</em><em>r</em><em>s. </em>
i.e x+y = 13........ (I)
<em>2nd condition= The product of their ages is 42.</em>
i.e X*y = 42........(ii)
From equation (I)
X+y = 13
or, X = 13-y........ (iii)
<em>Putting the equation (iii) in equation (ii).</em>
X*y= 42
(13-y) * y = 42
13y - y^2 = 42
Either; y-6 = 0
y = 6
Or;
y-7=0
y = 7
<em>Keeping the value of y as "7" in equation (ii)</em>
x*y = 42
7x = 42
X = 42/7
Therefore, the value of X is 6.
Therefore, either 1st friend is 6 years and 2nd is 7 years.
