Let's first break it down to the time 8 people need for one wall. That would be 10 minutes, right? If one person would have to do it in stead of 8, you'd expect him to take 80 minutes.

To paint 7 walls, he would nee 7x80 = 560 minutes. 10 people would do that 10 times faster, ie., 56 minutes.

I know puzzles like these always have a mindtrick. Did I miss anything?? ;-)

Determine if a triangle with the given dimensions is a right triangle. If it is, which angle is the right angle?
Arte-miy333 [17]
To determine if the triangle is a right triangle, we use the Pythagorean theorem to test or see if the data agrees. We do as follows:

c² = a² + b²
10² = (5√3)² + 5²
100 = 75 + 25
100 = 100

Therefore, the triangle with the given measurements is a right triangle. The angle that would have a right angle is angle BAC. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day. Feel free to ask more questions.

Use estimation to help you choose the correct answer.<br><br> 0.945 x 7.6 =
hoa [83]

Remark

The thing you must not do is write 7.182 as your answer. That is the exact answer found using a calculator.


What to do.

What you should do is multiply two rounded numbers together.

7.6 rounded is 8 roughly


0.945 is almost 1.


Your answer is 8*1 = 8 roughly. This skill is very handy when you are writing a test and you want to see if you've done the question correctly. It is easy to misplace a decimal or put in incorrect digits and this is a quick check on things like that.
