Answer: 12.20 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Observe in the figure attached that a right triangle is formed.

Then, you  need to remember the identity:

cos\alpha=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}

In this case you can identify that:

adjacent=10\\hypotenuse=x

\alpha=35\°

Then, to find the length of the wooden board (x), you need to substitute values and solve for x.

Therefore, you get:

cos(35\°)=\frac{10}{x}\\\\(x)(cos(35\°))=10\\\\x=\frac{10}{cos(35\°)}\\\\x=12.20

The length of the wooden board is: 12.20 feet.

Mr. Itol's assistant takes twice as long to complete a computer task as Mr. Itol. If it takes both experts 6 hours to complete t
Lesechka [4]
So, in order to solve this problem, I will set up an equation. First, let's make x= the # of hours it takes Mr. Itol to complete a computer task, and since his assistant takes twice as long, lets make 2x=the # of hours it takes the assistant to complete the task. We also know that it takes the two of them 6 hours to complete the task together. We can now set up the following equation: 

\frac{1}{2x} +  \frac{1}{x} =  \frac{1}{6}

Now, in order to be able to solve this, we have to find the least common denominator, and then we can cancel out the denominators to solve for the top part. The LCD=6x and the new equation becomes: 

\frac{3}{6x} +  \frac{6}{6x} =  \frac{x}{6x}

Now, we can get rid of the denominators, and we get:

3+6=x

So, x= 9

Now we know that Mr. Itol would take 9 hours to complete the task if he were to do it himself. To find how long it would take his assistant to complete the same task by himself, we just need to plug in the x-value into 2x:

2(9)=18

Therefore, your answer is that Mr. Itol would take 9 hours to do the job alone, while his assistant will take 18 hours (double the time) to do the job alone.

Hope this helps :)

A coin contains 1.25 grams of nickel and 3.75 grams of copper, for a total weight of 5 grams. What percentage of the metal in th
otez555 [7]
So,

To find the percentage that the copper comprises, just divide the amount of copper by the total amount of metal in the coin.  In this case, we will change the denominator so that it is 100, which can easily be converted into a percentage, which is really just a fraction out of 100.

\frac{3.75}{5} = \frac{7.50}{10} = \frac{75}{100}

75%

75% of the metal in the coin is copper.
