<span>For me,
It would be a rational decision if the first worker was more than twice as productive as the second worker.</span>
This can happen in real life, for example 2 workers are hired to do the same type of job but one worker graduated with honors, the company can give a higher pay to the worker with honors compared with the other one who graduated.
It is up to the company on how much they would pay their workers as long as it is above the minimum wage. Though there might be hurt feelings among the workers if they each knew how much they are paid for, it is also better for the company to inform workers that they are paid this certain amount because of the following reasons (graduated w/ honors).
The right triangle with angle 45 ° has adjacent leg 9 feet
So the opposite leg is calculated from
tan 45 = opposite leg / adjacent leg ⇒ adjacent leg = 9 tan 45 = 9.
That is the distance bc.
The right triangle with angle 60° has adjacent leg 9 and opposite leg (x+9), where x is the distance ab.
Then tan(60) = (x+9) / 9 ⇒x+9 = 9 tan(60)
x + 9 = 15.59
x = 15.59 - 9 = 6.59
Answer: 6.59 feet
1. You would do 45 × 3 = 135 miles
2. 630 ÷ 2 = 315. 630 + 315 = 945 miles
3. 54 × 11 = 594 miles
1. Time is distance ÷ speed, so 4760 ÷ 560 = 8 1/2hours
2. 27 ÷ 54 = 0.5 hours, or 30 minutes
3. 1748 ÷ 437 = 4 hours
I hope this helps!
