Answer: the base is 28 inches. The altitude is 9 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Let h represent the altitude of the sign.
Let b represent the length if the base of the sign.
The warning sign is triangular in shape.
The formula for determining the area of a triangle is expressed as
Area = 1/2bh
The base of the sign is 9 inches longer than the altitude. This means that
b = h + 9
If the area of the sign is 266 square inches, it means that
266 = 1/2 × h(h + 9)
266 × 2 = h(h + 9)
532 = h² + 9h
h² + 9h - 532 = 0
h² + 28h - 19h - 532 = 0
h(h + 28) - 19(h + 28) = 0
h(h + 28) - 19(h + 28) = 0
(h + 28)(h - 19) = 0
h = 19 or h = - 28
Since the height cannot be negative, then h = 19
b = h + 9 = 10 + 9
b = 28
Answer:
7.5 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
The key here is to find out how much can be done in the same amount ot time
the least common multiple of 5 hrs and 3 hrs is 15hrs
In 15 hours:
- At 5 hours per lawn Norton could mow 15/5 = 3 lawns
- At 3 hours per lawn together thay could mow 15/3 = 5 lawns
In 15 hours Jesse would mow 5 - 3 = 2 lawns
15 hours/ 2 lawns = 7.5 hours per lawn
7.5 hours
--------------------
Here's the math
1 lawn/5hrs + x = 1 lawn / 3hrs
1/5 + x = 1/3
Subtract 1/5 from both sides
x = 1/3 - 1/5
x = 5/15 - 3/15
x = 2/15
x = 2lawns/15 hrs
15hrs/2lawns = 7.5 hrs per lawn
7.5 hours
