Answer:

It will take a total of 2.73 hours if they worked together

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are seeking to calculate the joint rate.

Let the amount of work to be done is say x

Seth’s rate will be x/6 , while violet’s rate will be x/5

Their joint rate will be ;

x/6 + x/5 = 11x/30

The time it will take them to build the house together will be equal to the amount of work divided by the joint rate.

That will be x divided by 11x/30

= x * 30/11x

= 30/11 hours which is Approximately 2.73 hours

point M with coordinates (3,4) is the midpoint of the line AB and A has the point (-1,6). what is the point of B?
irina [24]

Answer:

  B = (7, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

B = 2M -A

B = 2(3, 4) -(-1, 6) = (2·3-(-1), 2·4-6)

B = (7, 2)

_____

The expression for the other end point, B, comes from the equation for the midpoint.

  M = (A +B)/2

  2M = A + B . . . . . multiply by 2

  2M -A = B . . . . . . subtract A to get an expression for B

1. & 2. In the diagram below, points A, B, and C are collinear. Answer each of the following questions. The figure shown bel
KiRa [710]

Answer:

a). AB = 8 in

b). AB = 9.75 in

c). AC = 6.5 in

d). BC = 1.5 in

Step-by-step explanation:

a). Since, AB = AC + CB

   Length of AC = 5 in. and CB = 3 in.

   Therefore, AB = 5 + 3 = 8 in.

b). Given : AC = 6.25 in and CB = 3.5 in

   Therefore, AB = AC + CB = 6.25 + 3.5

   AB = 9.75 in.

c). Given: AB = 10.2 in. and BC = 3.7 in.

    AB = AC + BC

    AC = AB - BC

    AC = 10.2 - 3.7

    AC = 6.5 in

d). Given: AB = 4.75 in and AC = 3.25 in.

   BC = AB - AC

   BC = 4.75 - 3.25 = 1.5 in.

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula that relates the length of a ladder, L, that leans against a wall with distance d from the base of the wall and the height h that the ladder reaches up the wall is L = StartRoot d squared + h squared EndRoot. What height on the wall will a 15-foot ladder reach if it is placed 3.5 feet from the base of a wall?

L = √d² + h²

A 90 k g shopper is standing on an escalator that makes a 25 ∘ incline with the horizontal. The escalator carries the shopper to
Nitella [24]

Answer:

W= 27 k J

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

mass ,m = 90 kg

Height , h= 30 m

angle , θ = 25°

The work done by escalator is given as follows

W  = m g h

Work done by escalator does not depends on the angle ,it depends only on  height.

Now by by putting the values in the above equation we get

W= 90 x 10 x 30 J            ( take g = 10 m/s² )

W= 27000 J

W= 27 k J

Therefore work done by escalator will be 27 k J.
