Let x = the amount of time that the third person needs to work on the job to add up to one
1 = 1/2 + 1/3 + x
1 - 1/2 - 1/3 = x
To subtract the fractions we need to put them all over a common denominator. Let's use 3*2 = 6 as the denominator; so 1 = 6/6, 1/2 = 3/6, 1/3 = 2/6:
6/6 - 3/6 - 2/6 = x
1/6 = x
The third person must work 1/6 time on the project.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The bottom leg is divided into equal segments, one of them is b.
It means the bottom leg is b + b = 2b.
<u>According to Pythagorean:</u>
<u>Solve for b:</u>
- 1681 = 4b² + 81
- 4b² = 1681 - 81
- 4b² = 1600
- b² = 400
- b = √400
- b = 20 cm
