Answer:

5 days

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is an inverse proportion case. Having two variables: number of workers and time (in days); when we increase the number of workers, the time needed decreases; vice versa. Therefore, we can use the multiplication method: (workers * time) will always stay constant.

Let's say the time (in days) needed by the eleven workers is t,

5*20 = (3*10) + (14*t)

100 = 30+14t

70 = 14t

5 = t

It will take the eleven-workers 5 more days to finish the road.

A ladder is placed 30 inches from a wall. It touches the wall at a height of 50 inches from the ground.
tankabanditka [31]
To find the length of the ladder, you need to do Pythagorean theorem.
50^2 + 30^2 = x^2
2500 + 900 = x^2
x^2 =3400
x= square root of 3400
58.31 OR 10 root34

To find the angle:
tan theta = opposite/adjacent
50/30 = 5/3
theta = tan inverse of 5/3
= 59.04
