A man drove 14 mi directly east from his home, made a left turn at an intersection, and then traveled 5 mi north to his place of

work. If a road was made directly from his home to his place of work, what would its distance be to the nearest tenth of a mile?

Answer:

14.9 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

If the road was created, the 3 different roads would form a right triangle where the new road would be the hypotenuse and the other 2 roads would be the legs.

We can use the pythagorean theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse, or the new road:

a² + b² = c²

14² + 5² = c²

221 = c²

14.9 = c

= 14.9 miles

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

20 m

Step-by-step explanation:

the distance from the top car to the bottom car is equal to the diameter of the wheel. The diameter is 40 m, and that is twice the radius. The radius of the Ferris wheel is (40 m)/2 = 20 m.

Paul can install a 300 hundred square foot hardwood floor in 18 hours. Matt can install the same floor in 22 hours. How long wou
Vadim26 [7]
ANSWER

Paul and Matt will take
9.9 \: \: hours
to install the floor working together.

EXPLANATION

First, calculate Paul's rate, which is

= \frac{1}{18}

Next, calculate Matt's rate, which is,
= \frac{1}{22}

Let us assume that, Paul and Matt took
x \: hours
to do the work together.

Then, the rate of working together is,

= \frac{1}{x}

Now, add the individual rates and equate to the rate of working together to form an equation that will help us solve for x.

\frac{1}{18} + \frac{1}{22} = \frac{1}{x}

Simplify the left hand side

\frac{11 + 9}{198} = \frac{1}{x}

\frac{20}{198} = \frac{1}{x}

We reciprocate both sides to get (You could have also done cross multiplication).

\frac{198}{20} = \frac{x}{1}

x = 9.9 \: hours
