A man is five times as old as his son. If the son's age is , then the man's current age is .
In four years' time:
Son's age will be .
Man's age will be .
The product of their ages in four years will be 340.
Set up the equation for the product of their ages in four years.
Expand the left side of the equation.
Rearrange the equation to the form .
The final answer is .

In the diagram, is an equilateral triangle of side . is the midpoint of . Find .
Identify properties of an equilateral triangle.
Since is equilateral, all sides are equal () and all angles are ().
Determine the length of .
is the midpoint of , so .
Identify properties of the line segment .
In an equilateral triangle, the line segment from a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side is also an altitude (perpendicular to the side) and an angle bisector.
Therefore, , which means is a right-angled triangle with the right angle at .
Also, bisects , so .Calculate .
Since , we need to find .
This can also be rationalized as .
Alternatively, using side lengths in :
We have (hypotenuse) and (opposite side to ).
We need to find the length of (adjacent side to ) using the Pythagorean theorem:Now, calculate :
The final answer is .

A fence tall is away from a tree of height . Calculate the angle of elevation of the top of the tree from the top of the fence.
Identify the relevant lengths for the right-angled triangle.
The horizontal distance between the fence and the tree is the adjacent side: .
The vertical height difference from the top of the fence to the top of the tree is the opposite side.Use the tangent function to find the angle of elevation ().
Calculate the angle .
Using a calculator:
Rounding to two decimal places, .
The closest option is .
The final answer is $\boxed{B. 53.6
