Answer: The value of x is 7 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let ABC is a triangle with mid -segment  DE parallel to the base BC.

the left side is labeled 40 cm below the mid -segment

i.e. BD = 40 cm

the left side is labeled 5 cm above the mid -segment

i.e. AD = 5 cm

Similarly,

The right side is labeled 2 x + 10 cm below the mid -segment

i.e. EC = 2x+10

The right side is labeled 3 cm above the mid -segment

i.e. AE = 3 cm

So, By Basic proportionality theorem,

The ratio of the other two sides is equal.

\frac{AD}{DB}=\frac{AE}{EC}\\\\\frac{5}{40}=\frac{3}{2x+10}\\\\\frac{1}{8}=\frac{3}{2x+10}\\\\2x+10=24\\\\2x=24-10\\\\2x=14\\\\x=\frac{14}{2}\\\\x=7 cm

Hence, the value of x is 7 cm.

A production system has a total daily output of 400 units and a total labor of 350 hours, what kind of productivity measure can
fomenos

Answer:

1.14 products per hour of labor

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the daily productivity would be the amount of products per hour of labor.

That is: 400 products / 350 hours of labor, and that is approximately 1.14 products per hour of labor.

Which means that for every hour of labor, 1.14 products are produced in one day, which would be a factor of productivity.
