Answer:
x ≈ 3.1 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The segment from the centre to the chord is a perpendicular bisector, thus
The triangle is right with base = x
Applying Pythagoras' identity to the right triangle, then
( x )² + 1.4² = 2.1²
x² + 1.96 = 4.41 ( subtract 1.96 from both sides )
x² = 2.45 ( multiply both sides by 4 )
x² = 9.8 ( take the square root of both sides )
x = ≈ 3.1 ft ( to the nearest tenth )
Answer:
1/6 of the third workers time
Step-by-step explanation:
one of the people is budgeted for 1 /2 of his time to the project and a second person for 1/3 of her time
Let x be the third workers time
Let the completed job time = 1
Time taken for 3 workers to complete the job = 1
now we solve for x
LCD = 2*3 = 6
We multiply the whole equation by 6
3 + 2 +6x = 6
5 + 6x = 6
subtract 5 on both sides
6x = 1
divide both sides by 6
