Answer: The length of the bottom left side is 14.
To find the length of this side, we need to know the relationship between the different sections when chords cross each other.
The relationship is that if you multiply the 2 parts of each chord together, it will equal the product of the two sides in the other chord.
Our equation can be written as:
7(8) = 4(x)
56 = 4x
14 = x
It could be -20.50 but not sure do u have answer choices
Let m and h represent hours Mai spends mowing and hauling, respectively. Then (m+h) will be the number of hours Priya spends babysitting. In order for their earnings to be equal, we must have
7m +14h = 8.40(m+h)
Subtract 7m+8.40h: 5.60h = 1.40m
Divide by 1.40: m = 4h
Then the total number of hours worked by either person is
m + h = (4h) +h = 5h
When only whole numbers of hours are worked, the smallest number of hours that will make earnings equal is 5h, with h=1, or 5 hours. In that time, each will earn 5×$8.40 = $42.
Therefore, each of them must work 5 hours and earn $42 before they go to the movies and Mai will work 4 hours mowing and 1 hour hauling.
