Answer:
It should be <u>35.4</u>
Step-by-step explanation
Because 35 degrees makes a right triangle
If you know that
, then you know right away

###
Otherwise, you can derive the same result. Let
, so that
.
is bounded, so we know
. For these values of
, we always have
.
So, recalling the Pythagorean theorem, we find

Then

as expected.
Answer:
64 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangles are similar they have the same angle measures

∠P = ∠S ∠R =∠U ∠Q=∠T
We know 2 of the angle measures: ∠S and ∠R, and since they are similar we know ∠P and ∠U
In triangles the sum of all angle measures is always 180 degrees, so we can solve for ∠Q with this formula



subtract 116 from both sides

Therefore ∠Q is equal to 64 degrees
MA/MN = MB/BP
MA = 46.2 -14
MA=32.2
so
MA/MN = MB/BP
32.2/46.2=x/72.6
46.2x = 72.6 * 32.2
46.2x = 2337.72
x = 2337.72 / 46.2
x = 50.6
The present age of father is 86 years old and present age of son is 48 years old
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that, a father is now 38 years older than his son
Ten years ago he was twice as old as his son
Let "x" be the age of son now
Therefore, from given,
Father age now = 38 + age of son now
Father age now = 38 + x
<em><u>Ten years ago he was twice as old as his son</u></em>
Age of son ten years ago = age of son now - 10
Age of son ten years ago = x - 10
Age of father ten years ago = 38 + x - 10
Then we get,
Age of father ten years ago = twice the age of son ten years ago
38 + x - 10 = 2(x - 10)
28 + x = 2x - 20
2x - x = 28 + 20
x = 48
Thus son age now is 48 years old
Father age now = x + 38 = 48 + 38 = 86
Thus present age of father is 86 years old and present age of son is 48 years old
