9. $112.50 / 9 lawns = $12.50 per lawn
10. $122.50 / 7 lawns = $17.50 per lawn
11. $112.50 / 7.5 hours = $15.00 per hour
$122.50 / 5 hours = $24.50 per hour
Alastair earns more per hour
12. Taryn: 49 more hours ($735 / $15.00)
Alastaie: 30 more hours ($735 / $24.50)
You found how much money they charge per hour in 11 so use that to find how many hours it takes to earn $735.
You'd find the vertical asymptotes by seeing where the denominator equals zero; you can do so by factoring the denominator.
In this case, you can factor the denominator into (x+3)(x+2), so if you set each of those equal to zero you can find the equations of the vertical asymptotes (x=-3 and x=-2).
The answer, in short, is that the short leg equals 15 mm, the long leg equals 20 mm, and the hypotenuse equals 25mm. but if you'd like to see how I solved it, here are the steps.
-----------------------------
The Pythagorean theorem (also known as Pythagoras's Theorem) can be used to solve this. This theorem states that one leg or a right triangle squared plus the other side of that same triangle squared equals the hypotenuse of that triangle squared. To put it in equation form, L² + L² = H².
Let's call the longer leg B, the shorter leg A, and the hypotenuse H.
From the question, we know that A = B - 5, and H = B + 5.
So if we put those values into an equation, we have (B - 5)² + B² = (B + 5)²
Now, to solve. Let's square the two terms in parentheses first:
(B² - 5B - 5B + 25) + B² = B² + 5B + 5B + 25
Now combine like terms:
2B² -10B + 25 = B² + 10B + 25
And now we simplify. Subtract 25 from each side:
2B² - 10B = B² + 10B
Subtract B² from each side:
B² - 10B = 10B
Add 10B to each side:
B² = 20B
And finally, divide each side by B:
B = 20
So that's the length of B. Now to find out A and H.
A = B - 5, so A = 15.
H = B + 5, so H = 25.
And your final answer is A = 15mm, B = 20mm, and H = 25mm
I cant see the model but 2/3 is the same as 4/6
