Answer:

$4,160,000

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the length of the new road in km using Pythagorean Theorem.

According to Pythagorean Theorem:

c² = a² + b²,

Where, c is the longest leg, which is the hypotenuse, a and b are the 2 other legs of the ∆.

Since we are calculating the lenght in km, convert each lenght of the two legs of the ∆ into km.

1 km = 1,000 m

10,000 m = 10 km

24,000 m = 24 km

c² = 24² + 10²

c² = 576 + 100

c² = 676

c = √676

c = 26 km

Lenght of the new road = 26 km

If cost of construction is $160,000 per kilometer, therefore, cost of constructing 26 km road = 160,000*26 = $4,160,000

It take 10 road workers 5 days to complete a road repair when working 2 hours a day.Working at the same Pace, how many days will

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

The workers will need 10 days to finish the job.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question we can use a compound rule of three. We have:

10 road workers -> 5 days -> 2h/day

2 road workers -> x days -> 5h/days

The first thing we should do is analyze how the proportions between the variables work, if they're inversely or directly proportional. If we raise the number of workers we expect that the amount of days needed to finish the job lowers and if we raise the number of hours worked in a day we expect that the workers would need less days to finish the job. So we need to invert the fractions that are inversely proportional to the amount of days worked, then we have:

2 -> 5 -> 5

10-> x -> 2

x = (5*2*10)/(2*5) = 100/10 = 10 days

Given:

The figure of a rhombus QRST.

To find:

A. The value of x.

B. The measure of angle RQP.

Solution:

A. We need to find the value of x.

We know that the diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular bisectors. It means the angles on the intersection of diagonals are right angles.

$m\angle RPS=90^\circ$ [Right angle]

$(5x+15)^\circ=90^\circ$

$(5x+15)=90$

$5x=90-15$

$5x=75$

Divide both sides by 5.

$x=\dfrac{75}{5}$

$x=15$

Therefore, the value of x is 15.

B. We need to find the measure of angle RQP.

From the given figure, it is clear that

$m\angle RQP=(2x+3)^\circ$

Putting $x=15$ , we get

$m\angle RQP=(2(15)+3)^\circ$

$m\angle RQP=(30+3)^\circ$

$m\angle RQP=33^\circ$

Therefore, the measure of angle RQP is 33 degrees.

Explain the properties of exponents with examples of your own

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

This is an example of the quotient of powers property and tells us that when you divide powers with the same base you just have to subtract the exponents. When you raise a quotient to a power you raise both the numerator and the denominator to the power. When you raise a number to a zero power you'll always get 1.
