Answer:

30

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we can say that because the men do 1/3 of the work in 20 days,

for 10 men:

20 days = 1/3 total work

Because we need the house built in 30 days, and 20 days have already passed, we only have 30-20=10 days left. Furthermore, 20/2=10, so in our equation of 20 days = 1/3 total work, we can divide both sides by 2 to get

10 days = 1/6 total work

The amount of work we need to get done in 10 days is (all of it) - (1/3 of total work) = 1 - 1/3 = 2/3 = 4/6

Since 10 men can do 1/6 of the work in 10 days, 10*4 =40 men can do 1/6 * 4 = 4/6 of the work in 10 days. This is the amount of work that needs to get done. Therefore, the contractor needs 40 (total workers) - 10 (current workers) = 30 new workers to finish the remaining work in due time

Find the volume, V, of the solid obtained by rotating the bounded region in the first quadrant enclosed by the graphs of
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

\frac7{15}\pi

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, let's draw the two curves. First one (red) is a classic parabola, second (blue) is a similar curve with a tigher form. Imagine is made with paint so it's not high quality. The intersection between the two curves are easily found by solving a system of equations and are (0;0) and (1;1). At this point, the volume comes from the rotation of the shaded area, and can be obtained as difference from the rotation of the blue curve minus the red curve.

Remembering that the volume of the solid of revolution bound between y=0; y=f(x); x=a; x=b is given by \pi \int_a^b [f(x)]^2dx, in our case the volume is given by the expression

\pi [\int_0^1 (\sqrt[4]{x})^2-(x^2)^2 dx] = \pi[\int_0^1 \sqrt{x}-x^4 dx]  = \pi[\frac23x^\frac32 -\frac15 x^5 ] _0^1 = \pi (\frac23 -\frac15) = \frac7{15}\pi

How do i find the missing length indicated
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

The Pythagorean theorem states that a2 + b2 = c2 in a right triangle where c is the longest side. You can use this equation to figure out the length of one side if you have the lengths of the other two. The figure shows two right triangles that are each missing one side's measure.

Find the slope and y-internet.
andreyandreev [35.5K]
Slop: second one (2/1)

Y-intercept: first one

Explanation
Slop is rise over run so how much it goes up or down on the top and how much it goes our right on the bottom

Y-intercept is where the point intersects with the y line so what point is on the y line

Find the distance CD rounded to<br> the nearest tenth.<br> C = (7,-4) and D = (-8,-5)<br> CD = [?]
quester [9]

Answer:

CD= 15.03

Step-by-step explanation:

x1=7, x2= -8

y1=-4, y2=-5

distance CD= √(x2- x1) 2+ (y2-y1)2

= √( -8-7)2 + [-5-(-4)]2

= √(15)2+ (-5+4)2

= √225+ (1)2

= √225+1

= √226

= 15.03
