Firstly, let’s assume the the whole capacity the work requires is 1.

Then, let’s see how 1 man can do in 50 days: 1/5.

Further, let’s see how 1 man can do in 1 day : 1/(5×50) = 1/250.

Similarly, let’s see how 1 woman can do in 1 day: 1/(10×50) = 1/500.

Now, we have 8 men, and they can do 8*1/250 in 1 day, which is 4/125.

Besides, we have 4 women, and they can do 4×1/500 in 1 day, which is 1/125.

Therefore, all people we have can do 4/125 + 1/125 of the work in 1 day, which is 1/25.

As a result, the work takes 1/(1/25)= 25 days.

Answer:

$\bold{cot(t) =\dfrac{12}{5}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

$Cosec (t) = -\frac{13}5$

for $\pi < t < \frac{3 \pi}2$

That means, angle $t$ is in the 3rd quadrant.

To find:

Value of cot(t)

Solution:

First of all, let us recall what trigonometric ratios are positive and what trigonometric ratios are negative in 3rd quadrant.

In 3rd quadrant, tangent and cotangent are positive.

All other trigonometric ratios are negative.

Let us have a look at the following identity:

$cosec^2\theta -cot^2\theta =1$

here, $\theta =t$

So, $cosec^2t-cot^2t=1$

$\Rightarrow (-\dfrac{13}{5})^2-cot^2t=1\\\Rightarrow (\dfrac{169}{25})-cot^2t=1\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{169}{25}-1=cot^2t\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{169-25}{25}=cot^2t\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{144}{25}=cot^2t\\\Rightarrow cot(t)=\pm\sqrt{\dfrac{144}{25}}\\\Rightarrow cot(t)=\pm\dfrac{12}{5}$

But, angle $t$ is in 3rd quadrant, so value of

$\bold{cot(t) =\dfrac{12}{5}}$

10. You just hung a picture twelve inches above the wall trim. Your friend thinks the picture looks

muminat

Answer:

The angles measured between the shadow and the wall trim and the shadow and the top or bottom of the picture should be equal if the picture is level

Step-by-step explanation:

Whereby the picture is 12 inches above the wall trim and the Sun is casting a shadow on the wall, therefore, the edges of the shadow of a straight edged object is straight

If the picture is level, the shadow cast by the sun is transversal to the wall trim and the line formed by extending the bottom or top of the picture in the direction of the shadow. That is, if the picture is parallel, the shadow cast by the Sun on the wall is transversal to the picture and the wall trim if or when the shadow eventually crosses the picture

With the protractor, the angle between the shadow and the wall trim and the shadow and the top or bottom is measured

The angles measured should be the same if the picture is level.

Can anybody help me on this 16 16π 16π - 16 16 - 16π are the answer choices

kvasek [131]

The answer is 16 pi - 16. The area of each triangle is 8, so both triangles are 16. The area of the circle is pi times the radius squared, 16 pi.
