Answer:

25.92 foot strides

Step-by-step explanation:

The man will take 120/5 = 24 five foot stride to cover the initial 120 foot advantage of the child.

Within this time, the child would have covered an additional 24/5 x 2 = 9.6 extra foot stride.

Within this 9.6 food stride of the child, the man will have to take an additional 9.6/5= 1.96 strides.

Total foot stride by the man will be 24 + 1.96 = 25.92 foot strides.

Can someone help geometry is confusing
NikAS [45]

<LMP and <NMP are supplementary angles so sum = 180

<LMP +  <NMP = 180

(-16x + 13) + ( - 20x + 23) = 180

-16x + 13  - 20x + 23 = 180

-36x + 36 = 180

-36x = 144

    x = -4

<LMP = -16x + 13 = -16(-4) + 13 = 77

<NMP = - 20x + 23 = - 20(-4)  + 23 = 103

Answer

<LMP  = 77°

<NMP  = 103°
