John can complete a paper route in 20 minutes.

John's 1 minute work = 1/20 , so rate =1/20 job/minute

Steve can complete the same route in 30 minutes

Steve's 1 minute work =1/30, so rate =1/30 job/minute

Together DATA:

Time = y min/job ; Rate = 1/y job/min

rate + rate = together rate

1/20 + 1/30 = 1/y

(30+20)/600 = 1/y

50/600

5/60 = 1/y

y = 60/5 = 12 minutes (time for this to do the job together)

The supplement of an angle is four times the complement of the angle find the measure of the complement
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

The measure of the complement is 30°

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Two angles are supplementary if their sum is equal to 180 degrees

Two angles are complementary if their sum is equal to 90 degrees

Let

x -----> the measure of an angle

we know that

180°-x=4(90°-x)

Solve for x

180°-x=360°-4x

4x-x=360°-180°

3x=180°

x=60°

Find the complement

90°-x=90°-60°=30°

I need to know the area
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

67.5 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

We can break this problem down in two parts: The upper triangle and the lower trapezoid.

The upper triangle:

Use the formula \frac{1}{2} (b)(h) to compute the area of the triangle. Base = 10 and Height = 7.

1/2 (10)(7)

1/2 (70)

=35 units².

The lower trapezoid:

Use the formula \frac{1}{2}(base_{1} + base_{2}) (height) to compute the area of the trapezoid. Base 1 = 10, Base 2 = 3 and Height = 5.

1/2 (10 + 3)(5)

1/2 (13)(5)

1/2 (65)

=32.5 units²

So, add the two areas of each shape:

35 + 32.5 = 67.5 units².
