Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a) ΔACD ~ ΔABE so the ratios of corresponding sides are the same. That is ...
CD/BE = CA/BA
CD/3.8 = 12.3/8.2
CD = 3.8×12.3/8.2 = 5.7 . . . . cm
__
b) As above, the ratios of corresponding sides are the same.
ED/AD = BC/AC
ED/9.15 = (12.3-8.2)/12.3 . . . . BC = AC - AB
ED = 9.15×4.1/12.3 = 3.05 . . . . cm
We are given that 76 persons can complete the job in 42 days.
We need to find the number of days will 56 persons do the same job.
Let us assume that in x number of days will 56 persons do the same job.
Number of days taken by 1 person to complete same work = 76 × 42 =3192 days.
56 person will take = = 57.
