The present age of father is thrice as old as the age of daughter 5 years ago. If 5 years hence ,the age of father will be twice the age of his daughter. Find their present ages

Hence the daughter's present age is 15 years

The fathers present age is 35 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age of daughter be x

Let the present age of father be y

5 years ago;

Daughter's age = x - 5

Fathers age = y - 5

If the present age of father is thrice as old as the age of daughter 5 years ago, then;

y - 5 = 3(x-5)

y - 5 = 3x-15

y = 3x - 10 1

In 5 years time;

Daughters age = x + 5

Fathers age = y + 5

If the age of father will be twice the age of his daughter in 5 years time then;

y+5 = 2(x+5)

y+5 = 2x + 10

y = 2x + 5 2

Equate 1 and 2;

3x - 10 = 2x + 5

3x - 2x = 5 + 10

x = 15

Since y = 2x + 5

y = 2(15) + 5

y = 35

Hence the daughter's present age is 15 years

The fathers present age is 35 years

proofs involving isosceles triangles often require special consideration because an isosceles triangle has several distinct properties that do not apply to normal triangles.(more about triangle types) therefore, when you are trying to prove that two triangles are congruent, and one or both triangles, are isosceles you have a few theorems that you can use to make your life easier.

step-by-step explanation:

an isosceles triangle has two congruent sides and two congruent angles. the congruent angles are called the base angles and the other angle is known as the vertex angle. ∠bac and ∠bca are the base angles of the triangle picture on the left. the vertex angle is ∠abc
