X = smaller number
y = bigger number

y = 3x

x+y = 20
x+3x = 20
4x = 20
x = 5

The smaller number is 5.

Triangle MNP has vertices N(2, 2) and P(0, –2). The triangle is symmetric about the y-axis. What is the approximate measure of t
Evgesh-ka [11]
Point M of the triangle is (-2,2) to make triangle MNP as shown in the attached image

Triangle MNP has a base of 4 units and a height of 4 units. We can work out the angle x and angle y using trigonometry ratio

We use tan ratio to find both angles

Tan (x) = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}
Tan(x)= \frac{4}{2}
Tan(x)=2
Tan^{-1}(2)=63.43494882
Angle x=63.43

Tan(y)= \frac{opposite}{adjacent}
Tan(y)= \frac{2}{4}
Tan^{-1}(0.5)=26.56505118
Angle y=26.6

Angle MNP = Angle NMP = 63.43 degrees (this is based on the fact that the triangle is an isosceles triangle)

Angle MPN = 2×26.6 = 53.2 degrees (we multiply by 2 as angle y is only a half of angle MPN - as shown in the diagram)
