omeli [17]3 years ago

Answer:

Let x and y be the two numbers. Then

yx=57  and x−y=20

Cross multiplying the proportion

5x=7y  or y=75x

So, x−y=20

x−75x=20⇒77x−5x=72x=20

⇒x=2140=70

y=75x=75×70=50

So smaller number is 50.

Check :yx=5070=57 and 70−50=20

Draw an obtuse angle big. place a point p inside the angle. now construct perpendiculars from the point to both sides of the ang
never [62]

I have drawn three obtuse angles showing three different positions.

then taken a point p inside it.

Now to draw perpendicular from a point to a given line

we draw a line parallel fom that point to that given line.

After that from that point we draw perpendicular to that line.

Now the question arises which side is closer to point p ,

The answer is if length of perpendicular from p to the line is longer that side is farther from the point p , and if the length of perpendicular is shorter then that that line is nearer to point P.
