Answer:

  35

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the HCF of the ages. Then we can have ax = 10 represent Lena's age, and bx can represent her dad's age.

The LCM will be abx = 14x, so we have ab = 14.

Factors of 14 are 1·14 and 2·7. Since the ratio of ages is between 30/10 = 3 and 45/10 = 4.5, we must have b/a in that range. This will be the case for ...

  a=2, b=7

For a=2 and ax=10, we have x=5.

The dad's age is bx = 7·5 = 35.

ABCD diagonals intersect at E. If m∠BAC=4x+5 and m∠CAD=5x-14, then find m∠CAD.
Travka [436]

Answer: m∠CAD = 81°

Step-by-step explanation: <u>Diagonal</u> is a line that unites opposite sides.

ABCD is a prallelogram. One property of diagonal in a parallelogram is it separates the parallelogram in 2 congruent triangles.

The figure below shows ABCD with its diagonals.

Since diagonal divides a parallelogram in 2 congruent triangles, it means the internal angles are also congruent. So

m∠BAC = m∠CAD

4x + 5 = 5x - 14

x = 19

Then, m∠CAD is

m∠CAD = 5(19) - 14

m∠CAD = 81

The angle m∠CAD is 81°.
