Answer: Time taken by Ximena to paint the fence alone  = 24 hours

Time taken by Candice to paint the fence alone = 12 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x= Time taken by Ximena to paint the fence alone .

Time taken by Candice to paint the fence alone = x-12

As per given , we have

\dfrac{1}{x}+\dfrac{1}{x-12}=\dfrac{1}{8}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{x-12+x}{x(x-12)}=\dfrac{1}{8}\\\\\Rightarrow\ 8(2x-12)=x^2-12x\\\\\Rightarrow\ 16x-96=x^2-12x\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2-12x-16x+96=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2-28x+96=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2-4x-24x+96=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ x(x-4)-24(x-4)=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ (x-4)(x-24)=0\\\\\Rightarrow x=4, 24

if x= 4

Time taken by Ximena = 4 hours

Time taken by Candice = 4-12 hours =-8 hours which is not possible. (time cannot be negative)

Therefore, x= 24

Such that

Time taken by Ximena to paint the fence alone  = 24 hours

Time taken by Candice to paint the fence alone = 24-12=12 hours

Answer:

Area = 15.36 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the area of the dotted line triangle using the formula: base x height x 1/2, which would be 1.2ft x 12.8 x 1/2 = 7.68ft.

Next, add another triangle at the top, mirroring the shown triangle, of the parallelogram.

Then, find the area of the shape as though it were a rectangle. (base x height) - 2.4 x 12.8 = 30.72.

Next, multiply the area of the invisible triangle by 2, 7.68 x 2 = 15.36ft

and Finally, subtract the area of the rectangle shape of the the sum of the two invisible triangles, 30.72 - 15.36 = 15.36ft

The area of the parallelogram is 15.36 ft.

Write 2.7 x 10^4 + 120 in scientific notation.
ryzh [129]

Hey there!

2.7 * 10^4 + 120

10^4

= 10 * 10 * 10 * 10

= 100 * 100

= 10,000

2.7 * 10,000 + 120

= 27,000 + 120

= 27,120

Therefore, your answer is. [10,000 * 2.712] because 10,000 * 2.712 is approximately 27,120

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

Match the circle equations in general form with their corresponding equations in standard form. x2 y2 − 4x 12y − 20 = 0 (x − 6)2
frosja888 [35]

The equation given is matched with the respective vertex forms.

<h3>What is the standard Equation for a circle ?</h3>

The standard equation for a circle is given by

(x-h)² + (y-k)² = r²

The equation given in the question are

x² + y²  − 4x + 12y − 20 = 0

(x − 6)²  + (y − 4)²  = 56

x²  + y²  + 6x − 8y − 10 = 0

(x − 2)²  + (y + 6)²  = 60

3x²  + 3y²  + 12x + 18y − 15 = 0

(x + 2)²  + (y + 3)²  = 18

5x²  + 5y²  − 10x + 20y − 30 = 0

(x+3)²  + (y-4)²  = 35

2x²  + 2y²  − 24x − 16y − 8 = 0

(x-1)²  + (y+2)²   = 11

The first equation is

x² + y²  − 4x + 12y − 20 = 0

It can be written ad

x² -4x + 4 - 4 +y²+12y +36-36 -20 = 0

(x-2)² +(y+6)²= 60

The second equation is

x²  + y²  + 6x − 8y − 10 = 0

x² +6x +9-9 +y²  -8y +16-16 -10 = 0

(x+3)²  + (y-4)²  = 35

The third equation is

3x²  + 3y²  + 12x + 18y − 15 = 0

(x + 2)²  + (y + 3)²  = 18

The fourth equation is

5x²  + 5y²  − 10x + 20y − 30 = 0

(x-1)²  + (y+2)²   = 11

The fifth equation is

2x²  + 2y²  − 24x − 16y − 8 = 0

(x − 6)²  + (y − 4)²  = 56
