Answer:

63 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the description, you can make a rectangle with the sides 20 yards and 60 yards. You then draw a diagonal line (doesn't matter which one), and you use the pythagorean theorem (a^2+b^2=c^2). Thus, you get 20^2+60^2=60^2, so 400+3600=c^2, then \sqrt{4000}

Which gives the value of 63.24 rounding to 63 yards

Kate and Jean paint a house together in 6 days. If they work alone, Kate takes 5 fewer days than Jean would take to do the same

dsp73

Answer: $x^2-17x+30=0$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = Time taken <em>(in days)</em> by Jean to do the job.

Then, Time taken by Kate to do the job = x-5

Then, together they will take time (t) as

$\dfrac{1}{t}=\dfrac{1}{x}+\dfrac{1}{x-5}$

$=\dfrac{x-5+x}{x(x-5)}=\dfrac{2x-5}{x(x-5)}$ .

$\Rightarrow\ t=\dfrac{x(x-5)}{2x-5}$

Since it is given that Kate and Jean paint a house together in 6 days.

i.e.

$6=\dfrac{x(x-5)}{2x-5}\\\\\Rightarrow 6(2x-5)=x^2-5x\\\\\Rightarrow\ 12x-30=x^2-5x\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2-5x-12x+30=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2-17x+30=0$

So, the equation represents the time it takes Kate to paint the house by herself is $x^2-17x+30=0$ .

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

The route from A to the corner to B is longer then going directly from A to B. It is roughly 1.6 miles longer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance from A to the corner to B is 5.9 miles because

$3.8 + 2.1 = 5.9$

Going directly from A to B is roughly 4.3 miles because of

${a}^{2} + {b}^{2} = {c}^{2}$

$5.9 - 4.3 = 1.6$
