Answer:

9 people is 9/4 = 2.25 times more people than 4 people. So, they can do it faster. 3 hours/2.25 = 1.33 hours 1.33 hours x 60 minutes/hour = 80 minutes

Answer: 1 hour 20 minutes

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let's figure out how long it would take 1 person to dig the hole and then divide that number by 9 (since they are sharing the workload).

\dfrac{1}{4}x=3\qquad \implies \qquad x = 12\quad \text{It takes 12 hours for 1 person}\\\\\\\dfrac{12\ \text{(for 1 person)}}{9\ \text{(people)}}\quad =1\dfrac{1}{3}\quad =\large\boxed{1\ hour\ 20\ minutes}

The equation given in the question is
m = <span>0.3048f
when f = 9 feet, then
m = </span><span>0.3048 * 9
    = 2.7432 meters
Since the answer has to be shown to the nearest thousandth, so
m = 2.743.meters
The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the third option or option "C". </span>

Write a coordinate proof to prove that the segment that joins the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle to the midpoint of its b
Natalija [7]

Answer:

Slope of the base segment line is zero, hence base segment is horizontal

Slope of the segment that joins the vertex angle to the midpoint of its base is undefined hence the line is vertical

Therefore, angle between base segment line and the segment line from the vertex angle to the midpoint is perpendicular

Therefore, the segment that joins the vertex angle to an isosceles triangle to the midpoint of its base is perpendicular to the base

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we prove the required relation as follows;

Let the isosceles be ABC

The coordinates of the points are

C = (0, 0) (Vertex)

A =  (-a, b)

C = (a, b)

P = (0, b) (Midpoint of base)

Therefore, the gradient or slope of the base AC is presented as follows;

Slope, m \, of \. base, \, AC= \frac{dy}{dx}  = \frac{b - b}{a - (-a)}  = \frac{0}{2\cdot a} = 0

Hence, segment AC is vertical

Slope, m \, of \, segment \ CP \,  joining \, vertex, \, to \, midpoint, P, on  \,AC = \frac{0 - b}{0 - 0}  = \frac{-b}{0} = Undifined.

Hence, segment CP is vertical

Therefore, the segment that joins the vertex angle to an isosceles triangle to the midpoint of its base is perpendicular to the base.
