Answer:

6hours

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

Suppose it took Karl x hours to retile her bathroom,

Then it will take Della 3 hours longer i.e (3+x) hours

If Della and Karl work together or will take them 2 hours

The objective is to determine how long it will take Delia to retile the bathroom alone?

∴

\dfrac{1}{x}+\dfrac{1}{3+x}= \dfrac{1}{2}

\dfrac{x+3+x}{x(3+x)}= \dfrac{1}{2}

\dfrac{2x+3}{3x+x^2}= \dfrac{1}{2}

By cross multiplying, we have:

2(2x+3) = 3x+x²

4x + 6 = 3x + x²

3x + x² - 4x - 6

x² - x - 6 = 0

Using quadratic equation

x² -3x +2x - 6 = 0

x(x - 3) + 2(x - 3) = 0

(x +2) (x - 3) = 0

x + 2 = 0 or x - 3 = 0

x = -2 or x = 3

Since we are concerned about the positive integer,

Then, Karl = x = 3 hours while Della which is (3+x) = 3+3 = 6hours

A cone is cut by a plane parallel to the slant height of the cone. What is the shape of the cross section that is formed?
zimovet [89]
A cross section is a shape formed by cutting an object using a plane. For this case, a cone is sliced parallel to the slant height so the cross section formed would be a plane with a U-like shape. From the image attached, the correct answer is the second option.
