Check the picture below.

now, we have a triangle with all three sides, thus we can use Heron's Area Formula on the triangle.

$\bf \qquad \textit{Heron's area formula} \\\\ A=\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}\qquad \begin{cases} s=\frac{a+b+c}{2}\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ a=10\\ b=26.695\\ c=22\\ s=29.3475 \end{cases} \\\\\\ A=\sqrt{29.3475(29.3475-10)(29.3475-26.695)(29.3475-22)} \\\\\\ A=\sqrt{29.3475(19.3475)(2.6525)(7.3475)}\implies A\approx \sqrt{11066.007} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ ~\hfill A\approx 105.195~\hfill$

katrin2010 [14]

The answer is A because there is a higher chance of the number cube rolling a 3,4,5 or 6 than the cube rolling a 1 or 2. It’s 4 against 2

Jerry’s rhombus has a base of 15 inches and a height of 9 inches. Charlene’s rhombus has a base and a height that are 13 the bas

neonofarm [45]

Answer: The area of Charlene's rhombus is nine times smaller than the area of Jerry's rhombus.

Step-by-step explanation:

I will assume that the exercise says " $\frac{1}{3}$ times the base and height of Jerry’s rhombus".

The area of a rhombus can be calculated with the following formula:

$A=b*a$

Where "b" is the length of the base and "a" is the altitude or the height.

Then, you can calculate the area using the formula shown above.

Therefore, you get:

1. Jerry's rhombus:

$A_1=(15\ in)(9\ in)\\\\A_1=135\ in^2$

2. Charlene's rhombus:

$A_2=(\frac{1}{3}*15\ in)(\frac{1}{3}*9\ in)\\\\A_2=(5\ in)(3\ in)\\\\A_2=15\ in^2$

Dividing the area calculated, you get:

$\frac{135\ in^2}{15\ in^2}=9$

Therefore, you can conclude that the area of Charlene's rhombus is nine times smaller than the area of Jerry's rhombus.

An experience bricklayer can construct a small wall in 3 hours. An apprentice can complete the job in 5 hours. Find how long it

Over [174]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If the bricklayer can construct the wall in its entirety in 3 hours, then he can get 1/3 of the job done in an hour.

If the apprentice can get the whole job done in 5 hours, then he can get 1/5 of the job done in an hour. If they both work together on said job, the equation is

$\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{5}=\frac{1}{x}$ and now we solve for x. Multiply everything by the LCM to get rid of the fractions. That would be 15x:
