If it took eight men ten hours to build a wall, how many hours would it take four men to build it?

2 answers:

8 0

8 men= 10hours
Now,
4men= ? hours

Since there are lesser number of men, the amount of time needed will be greater.. Thus, you need to multiply the amount of hours by 2! If you are thinking why, look at the following steps
8/2=4 (men)
10 x 2= 20(time)

Thus the answer is 20

Hope this helped :))

Two hours bc if it takes 8 to do it in one hour and u split the number of men u have in half you double the work hours 8men=1hour of work 4men=2hours of work
Hope this helps have a nice day

A rectangular retaining wall has an area of

Veronika [31]

Answer:

The height of wall is 3 feet and length of wall is 5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The Area of retaining wall = 15 square feet

Let The width of wall = W feet

The Height of wall = ( W - 2 ) feet

Now, Area of Rectangle = Height width

Or , 15 ft² = ( W - 2 ) ft × W ft

Or, 15 = W² - 2 W

Or, W² - 2 W - 15 = 0

Or, W² - 5 W + 3 W - 15 = 0

Or, W ( W - 5 ) + 3 ( W - 5 ) = 0

So , ( W - 5 ) ( W + 3 ) = 0

So, W = 5 , - 3

∴ The width of wall = W = 5 feet

And The Height of wall = ( W - 2 ) = 5 - 2 = 3 feet

Hence The height of wall is 3 feet and length of wall is 5 feet. Answer

Find the mass and center of mass of the lamina that occupies the region D and has the given density function rho. D is the trian

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

m=1/300 du

Step-by-step explanation:

we have that m=∫∫rho(x,y)dA for this we must find the limits of integration (according to the graph1)

On the x axis: if y=2x and x+2y=1 then y=2x and y=(1-x)/2 ⇒ 2x=(1-x)/2 ⇒ 4x=1-x ⇒ 5x=1 ⇒ x=1/5; on the y axis y=0 and y=1/2

m=∫∫rho(x,y)dA (view the graph 2)

Triangle pqr has vertices p(-3 -1) q(-1,-7) and r(3,3) and points a and b are midpoints of segment pq and segment rq respectivel

Serhud [2]

Answer:

View graph

Step-by-step explanation:

Be: p(-3,-1) q(-1,-7) r(3,3)

we must find the value of the middle point a and b

$a=\frac{pq}{2}\\b=\frac{rq}{2}$

remember that distance between two points is:

$d=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}+(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2} }$

pq=distance between p and q

qr =distance between q and r $pq=\sqrt{(-1+3)^{2}+(-7+1)^{2}}=\sqrt{(2)^{2}+(-6)^{2}}=\sqrt{40}\\ pq=2\sqrt{10}\\ a=\frac{pq}{2}=\frac{2\sqrt{10}}{2}=\sqrt{10}\\ coordinates\\a=\frac{pq}{2}=\frac{(-3-1,-7-1)}{2}=(-2,-4)\\\\qr=\sqrt{(3+1)^{2}+(3+7)^{2}}=\sqrt{(4)^{2}+(10)^{2}}=\sqrt{116}\\qr=2\sqrt{29}\\ b=\frac{qr}{2}=\frac{2\sqrt{29}}{2}=\sqrt{29}\\ coordinates\\b=\frac{pq}{2}=\frac{(-1+3,-7+3)}{2}=(1,-2)\\$
