Answer:
It would take 4 men 37 hrs and 12 mins to complete the same task.
step-by-step explanation:
Let X be the time the four men would use to complete the task.
From the question, 6 men completed a task in 24 hrs and 48 mins
But
Using ratio and proportion
if more, less divides and if less, more divides.
4 men required more time to complete the task
Hence:
x = 37 hrs 12 mins
To answer your question, it is shown in the image below
Answer
Find out the how high up the wall does the ladder reach .
To proof
let us assume that the height of the wall be x .
As given
A 25-foot long ladder is propped against a wall at an angle of 18° .
as shown in the diagram given below
By using the trignometric identity
now
Base = wall height = x
Hypotenuse = 25 foot
Put in the trignometric identity
x = 23.8 foot ( approx)
Therefore the height of the ladder be 23.8 foot ( approx) .
