1 answer:
erica [24]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

a. x = 7

b. x = 36/5

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Points to remember</u>

The ratio of of corresponding sides of similar triangles are equal.

<u>a). To find the value of x</u>

From the figure 1 we get two similar triangles, ΔABC and ADE

We can write,

AB/AD = AC/AE

3/6 = x/(x + 7)

3(x + 7) = 6 * x

3x + 21 = 6x

6x - 3x = 21

3x = 21

x = 21/3 = 7

<u>b). To find the value of x</u>

From the figure b we get

ΔABC ~  ΔEDF

AB/DE = BC/DF

4/5 = x/9

x = (4 * 9)/5 = 36/5

Three experts gave opinions on how long a task will take to finish. The estimates were 29, 10, and 12 days (in no particular ord
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

PERT estimate is a measuring strategy that is based on a weighted average. It is used in measuring the uncertainty and risk via three estimates to determine an estimated likelihood for a project's cost or period of completion.

The formula is (O + 4M + P) ÷ 6

Where P is the most pessimistic = 29

M is the most likely = 12

O is the most optimistic = 10

Hence we have (10 + [4*12]+ 29) ÷ 6

= (10 + 48 + 29) ÷ 6

= 87÷6 = 14.5 ≈ 15

Rounded figure is equal to 15.

Hence the final answer to the question is 15
