Answer: it will take 5 people 6.4 hours to do the work.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of hours required to do a job varies inversely as the number of people working. Let h represent the number of hours required to do the job. Let p represent the number of people working. Therefore,

h is inversely proportional to p

Introducing a constant of variation, k, it means that

h = k/p

It takes 8 hours for 4 people to paint the inside of a house. Therefore

8 = k/4

k = 8×4 = 32

The formula becomes

h = 32/p

To determine how many hours it will take 5 people to do the work, we will substitute p = 5 into the formula. It becomes

h = 32/5 = 6.4 hours

in the circl below, AD is diameter and AB is tangent at A. Suppose mADC=228*, find the measures of mCAB and mCAD. Type your nume
Andrew [12]

Given:

AD is diameter of the circle, AB is the tangent, and measure of arc ADC is 228 degrees.

To find:

The m\angle CAB and m\angle CAD.

Solution:

AD is diameter of the circle. So, the measure of arc AD is 180 degrees.

m(arcADC)=m(arcAD)+m(arcDC)

228^\circ=180^\circ+m(arcDC)

228^\circ-180^\circ+=m(arcDC)

48^\circ+=m(arcDC)

The measure inscribed angle is half of the corresponding subtended arc.

m\angle CAD=\dfrac{1}{2}\times m(arcDC)

m\angle CAD=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 48^\circ

m\angle CAD=24^\circ

AB is the tangent. So, m\angle BAD=90^\circ because radius is perpendicular on the tangent and the point of tangency.

m\angle BAD=m\angle CAB+m\angle CAD

90^\circ=m\angle CAB+24^\circ

90^\circ -24^\circ=m\angle CAB

66^\circ=m\angle CAB

Therefore, m\angle CAB=66^\circ and m\angle CAD=24^\circ.

Consider the point X at (0,21) and point Y at (88, -103). What is the coordinate of the midpoint of xy
saul85 [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

let M be the midpoint of x and y

xM= (xX+xY)/2 =(0+88)2=44

yM=(Yx+yY)/2=(21_103)/2=_41

M(44,_41)
