9514 1404 393

Answer:

  24

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d represent Donald's age now. Then Natali's age now is d+38. The age relationship 5 years ago was ...

  (d+38) -5 = 3(d -5)

  d +33 = 3d -15 . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  48 = 2d . . . . . . . . . . . add 15-d

  24 = d . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

Donald is 24 years old now.

_____

<em>Alternate solution</em>

You can also work this by considering that 5 years ago, Natalie's age was more than Donald's age by twice Donald's age then. Hence Donald was 38/2 = 19 at that time. Now, Donald is 19+5 = 24.

Answer: 187.96 cm

Step-by-step explanation: First you need to convert all of the units into centimeters. To do this you need to convert the 6 feet into inches. Since there are 12 inches in a foot, 6 feet is equal to 72 inches. Next add the 2 inches to 72, and now this means Tyson is 74 inches tall. Lastly convert the inches into centimeters by multiplying 74 by 2.54, which equals 187.96.

Graph the system of equations.<br><br> {2x - y =4<br> {x - y = -2
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

See attachment

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system is

2x-y=4

x-y=-2

We write the system in slope-intercept form:

y=2x-4

y=x+2

The first equation has slope of 2 and y-intercept at (0,-4)

When y=0, x=2.

We plot (0,-4) and (2,0) to graph this first equation.

The second equation has a slope of 1 and a y-intercept at (0,2)

Also when y=0, x=-2.

We plot (0,2) and (-2,0) and draw a straight line through them.

The graph of the system is shown in the attachment.

Answer:

The statements about arcs and angles that are true in the figure are;

1) ∠EFD ≅ ∠EGD

2) \overline{ED}\cong \overline{FD}

3) mFD = 120°

Step-by-step explanation:

1) ∠ECD + ∠CEG + ∠CDG + ∠GDE = 360° (Sum of interior angle of a quadrilateral)

∠CEG = ∠CDG = 90° (Given)

∠GDE = 60° (Given)

∴ ∠ECD = 360° - (∠CEG + ∠CDG + ∠GDE)

∠ECD = 360° - (90° + 90° + 60°) = 120°

∠ECD = 2 × ∠EFD (Angle subtended is twice the angle subtended at the circumference)

120° = 2 × ∠EFD

∠EFD = 120°/2 = 60°

∠EFD ≅ ∠EGD

∠ECD = 120°

∠EGD = 60°

∴∠EGD ≠ ∠ECD

2) Given that arc mEF ≅ arc mFD

Therefore, ΔECF and ΔDCF are isosceles triangles having two sides (radii EC and CF in ΔECF and radii EF and CD in ΔDCF

∠ECF = mEF = mFD = ∠DCF (Given)

∴ ΔECF ≅ ΔDCF (Side Angle Side, SAS, rule of congruency)

\\ \overline{EF}\cong \overline{FD} (Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent, CPCTC)

∠FED ≅ ∠FDE (base angles of isosceles triangle)

∠FED + ∠FDE + ∠EFD = 180° (sum of interior angles of a triangle)

∠FED + ∠FDE = 180° - ∠EFD = 180° - 60° = 120°

∠FED + ∠FDE = 120° = ∠FED + ∠FED (substitution)

2 × ∠FED  = 120°

∠FED = 120°/2 = 60° = ∠FDE

∴ ∠FED = ∠FDE = ∠EFD =  60°

ΔEFD  is an equilateral triangle as all interior angles are equal

\\ \overline{EF}\cong \overline{FD}\cong \overline{ED} (definition of equilateral triangle)

\overline{ED}\cong \overline{FD}

3) Having that ∠EFD = 60° and ∠CFE = ∠CFD (CPCTC)

Where, ∠EFD = ∠CFE + ∠CFD (Angle addition)

60° = ∠CFE + ∠CFD = ∠CFE + ∠CFE (substitution)

60° = 2 × ∠CFE

∠CFE =60°/2 = 30° = ∠CFD

\overline{CF}\cong \overline{CD} (radii of the same circle)

ΔFCD is an isosceles triangle (definition)

∠CFD ≅ ∠CDF (base angles of isosceles ΔFCD)

∠CFD + ∠CDF + ∠DCF = 180°

∠DCF = 180° - (∠CFD + ∠CDF) = 180° - (30° + 30°) = 120°

mFD = ∠DCF (definition)

mFD = 120°.
