Rufus appears before Bill and Ted and offers them a bogus proposition: they must paint a house together with their magical guita

rs in a mere 5 hours. Ted, who is tired, knows that the fastest he can solo rock the paint job through the strings of his guitar is 19 hours. How hard does Bill have to jam to ensure the house is completed in time? Give your answer as the number of hours Bill must play; write your answer as a decimal rounded to two places, without any units.

Answer:

6.79

Step-by-step explanation:

-Let X denote the total amount of the job.

-The job has to be done in 5 hrs, therefore the portion done every hour is:

Rate=\frac{Total}{Time}\\\\=\frac{X}{5}\\\\=\frac{1}{5}X=0.2X

Therefore, the rate of Bill and Ted working jointly must equal the rate calculated above:

R_{Bill}=\frac{X}{19}\\\\=\frac{1}{19}X\\\\R_{Bill}+R_{Ted}=R_{required}\\\\\frac{1}{19}X+R_{Ted}=\frac{1}{5}X\\\\R_{Ted}=\frac{1}{5}X-\frac{1}{19}X\\\\=\frac{14}{95}X\\\\\therefore \frac{14}{95}X=1\ hr\\\\X=1\div \frac{14}{95}\\\\=6.7857\approx 6.79hrs

Hence, Bill working alone should complete the house in 6.79 hrs

At an angle of elevation 610
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

The height of the cliff CD is approximately 539.76 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The first angle of elevation with which the captain sees the person on the cliff = 61°

The second angle of elevation with which the captain sees the person on the cliff after moving 92 m closer to the cliff = 69°

The angle made by the adjacent supplementary angle to the second angle of elevation = 180° - 69° = 111°

∴ Whereby, the rays from the first and second angle of elevation and the distance the ship moves closer to the cliff forms an imaginary triangle, we have;

The angle in the imaginary triangle subtended by the distance the ship moves closer to the cliff = 180° - 111° - 61° = 8°

By sine rule, we have;

AB/(sin(a)) = BC/(sin(c))

Which gives;

92/(sin(8°)) = BC/(sin(61°))

BC = (sin(61°)) × 92/(sin(8°)) ≈ 578.165 m

BC ≈ 578.165 m

The height CD = BC × sin(69°)

∴  The height of the cliff CD = 578.165 m × sin(69°) ≈ 539.76 m.

The height of the cliff CD ≈ 539.76 m.
