This is a work problem. It can be solved as follows:
Houston = 1/x
Dominique = (1/2x)
Together = 1/5
Then, we add Houston and Dominique:
1/x + 1/2x = 1/5
Solve for x,
x = 2/15
Therefore, it would take 15/2 hours for Houston to ice by himself, the last option.
We're given the hypotenuse and one side and we're looking for the missing side so use pythagorean.
20² - 16² = 144²
