Answer:

BD = 8.5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure attached,

ΔABC and ΔADB are the right triangles.

By applying mean proportional theorem,

$\frac{\text{AD}}{\text{BD}}=\frac{\text{BD}}{\text{CD}}$

BD² = AD × CD

BD² = 6 × 12

BD = √72

BD = 6√2

= 8.485

BD ≈ 8.5 units

Therefore, measure of segment BD will be 8.5 units.

Answer:

$Straight\ Time\ Pay = \$392.2$

$Overtime\ Pay = \$42.4$

$Total = \$434.6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Hourly Rate = $10.60

Overtime = half hourly rate

Hours worked = 37 hours

Overtime = 8 hours

Calculating the Straight Time Pay

$Straight\ Time\ Pay = Hourly\ Rate * Hours\ Worked$

$Straight\ Time\ Pay = 37 * \$10.60$

$Straight\ Time\ Pay = \$392.2$

Calculating the Overtime Pay

$Overtime\ Pay = Overtime\ Rate * Overtime\ Hours$

<em>Since, overtime rate is half of hourly rate; we have</em>

$Overtime\ Pay = \frac{\$10.6}{2} * 8$

$Overtime\ Pay = \$5.3 * 8$

$Overtime\ Pay = \$42.4$

Calculating Total Pay

This is calculated by adding results in (i) and (ii)

$Total = Straight\ Time + Overtime$

$Total = \$392.2 + \$42.4$

$Total = \$434.6$
