There are two twins. One twin wants to explore the planet near Proxima Centauri and leaves on a spaceship traveling at 90% of the speed of light, while the other twin stays home on Earth. How much does the twin on Earth age while the other twin travels to Proxima Centauri?

4.7 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance of planet from Earth = 1.3 parsec

We know that 1 parsec = 3.26 light years

And a light year is the distance traveled by light in time period of 1 year.

So, Distance of planet from Earth = 1.3 3.26 = 4.24 light years

Given that, the person travels at a speed equal to 90% of the light speed.

To travel to the planet from Earth, Light takes 4.24 years.

To travel the distance , at a speed light takes time of 4.24 years.

To travel the distance , at a speed , the person takes time:

So, the twin on Earth ages by 4.7 years.

The three inside angles of a triangle equal 180 when added together.

To find x subtract the two given angles from 180.

X = 180-67-52

X = 61
