Answer: 12 min

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Time taken by one person to do a job = 21 minutes

Time taken by another person to do a the same job = 28 minutes

If they work together then the total time taken by both of them to complete the job is given by :-

\frac{1}{T}=\frac{1}{21}+\frac{1}{28}\\\\\Rightarrow\frac{1}{T}=\frac{4+3}{84}\\\\\Rightarrow\frac{1}{T}=\frac{7}{84}\\\\\Rightarrow\frac{1}{T}=\frac{1}{12}\\\\\Rightarrow T=12

Hence, they will take 12 minutes to do the job together.

Please Help! I will give you a lot of points! (6.3)
Mandarinka [93]

Let x be the yearly salary of an architect. Then the yearly salary of a lawyer is 2x-20000.

We can build an equation now! x+(2x-20000)=211000, because the yearly salary of an architect plus the yearly salary of a lawyer is 211000.

We combine like terms to get 3x-20000=211000.

We add 20000 to both sides to get 3x=231000.

We divide both sides by 3 to get x=77000, so the average yearly salary of a lawyer is 77000.

Then, the average yearly salary of an architect is 2(77000)-20000=154000-20000=134000, so the average yearly salary of an architect is 134000.

The specific gravity of a substance is the ratio of its weight to the weight of an equal volume of water. Kerosene weighs 0.82 g
netineya [11]

Answer:

The specific gravity of kerosene is 0.82

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the weight in grams of a cubic centimeter of Kerosene

y ----> the weight in grams of a cubic centimeter of water

z ---> the specific gravity of a substance

so

z=\frac{x}{y}

we have

x=0.82\ g\\y=1\ g

substitute the values

z=\frac{0.82}{1}=0.82

A rectangle is placed around a semicircle as shown below. The length of the rectangle is 14mm. Find the area of the shaded regio
Damm [24]

Image is missing, so i have attached it

Answer:

21.07 mm²

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use the Formulas:

Area of semicircle = πr²/2

Area_rectangle = Length x width = Lw

We are given:

Length of rectangle = 14 mm

From the attached image, the diameter of the semicircle is equal to the length of the rectangle.

Thus;

diameter of semicircle = length of rectangle

Therefore,

diameter of semicircle = 14 mm

Also, from the attached image, the radius of the semicircle is equal to the width of the rectangle.

Thus;

diameter of semicircle/2 = radius of semicircle

Hence;

radius of semicircle = 14/2 = 7mm = width of rectangle

Thus;

Area of rectangle = L*w = 14 × 7 = 98 mm²

Area of semicircle = πr²/2 = π×7²/2 = 76.93 mm²

To get the area of the shaded region, we will subtract area of the semi-circle from the area of the rectangle.

Area of shaded region = Area_rectangle - Area_semicircle = 98 - 76.93 = 21.07 mm²
