It will take him 30 hours
Remark
If the lines are parallel then triangle RQS will be similar to triangle RTP
From that, all three lines in one triangle will bear the same ratio to all three lines of the second triangle.
Givens
PQ = 8
QR = 5
RS = 15
ST = x + 3
Ratio
QR/RP = RS/RT
Sub and solve
RP = 5 + 8
RP = 13
RT = 15 + x + 3
RT = 18 + x
5/13 = 15 / (18 + x) Cross multiply
5(18 + x) = 195 Remove the brackets on the left.
90 + 5x = 195 Subtract 90 from both sides.
5x = 105 Divide by 5
x = 105/5
x = 21 Answer <<<<<<<
Answer: 1,6,11,16,21,26
Step-by-step explanation:
The common difference is 5 (n+5)
OK for this question you need to find out how many more post are needed. If you look at the diagram it shows that one side is 50 feet. Now there are two sides that will need post, because the barn side need no more. Now if there are two side both 50 feet, and you need a post every ten feet. How many posts are needed?
