Alon and his friend Marna own a chimney sweep service company. Working together, they can clean a 20-foot chimney in 1 Five-seve

nths hours. If it takes Kalon 4 hours to clean a 20-foot chimney by himself, how long does it take Marna to clean the same size chimney by herself?

Answer:

3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Time taken by Kalon = 4 hours

Time taken by Marna =?

Time taken if the work together = 1 5/7 hours

Kalon's rate = 1/ time =. 1/4

Kalon + Marna = 1 ÷ 1 5/7 = 7/12

Hence,

Marna's rate = 7/12 - 1/4

Marna's Rate = (7 - 3) / 12 = 4/12 = 1/3

Marna's rate = 1/3

Hence, time it takes Marna = reciprocal of rate = 1÷ 1/3 = 1 * 3/1 = 3 hours

Answer:

2(10) is implied multiplication

Step-by-step explanation:

( 18+2) + 2(10) ÷4 -2

PEMDAS

Parentheses first

( 20) + 2(10) ÷4 -2

Then exponents ( we have none)

Then multiply and divide from left to right

20 + 20÷4 -2

20 + 5-2

Then add and subtract from left to right

Answer:

<h3><u>Let's</u><u> </u><u>understand the concept</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

Here angle B is 90°

So $\triangle ABC$ and $\triangle ABD$ Are right angled triangle

So we use Pythagoras thereon for solution

<h3><u>Required Answer</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

First in triangle ABC

perpendicular=p=8cm

Hypontenuse =h =10cm

We need to find base=b

According to Pythagoras thereon

${\boxed{\sf b^2=h^2-p^2}}$

Substitutethe values

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf b^2=10^2-p^2$

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf b={\sqrt {10^2-8^2}}$

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf b={\sqrt{100-64}}$

$\longrightarrow$ $\bf b={\sqrt {36}}$

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf b=6$

$\therefore$ $\overline{BC}=6cm$

BD=BC+CD

$\longrightarrow$ $BD=9+6$

$\longrightarrow$ $BD=15cm$

Now in $\triangle ABD$

Perpendicular=p=8cm

Base =b=15cm

We need to find Hypontenuse =AD(x)

According to Pythagoras thereon

${\boxed {\sf h^2=p^2+b^2}}$

Substitute the values

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf h^2=8^2+15^2$

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf h={\sqrt {8^2+15^2}}$

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf h={\sqrt {64+225}}$

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf h={\sqrt {289}}$

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf h=17cm$

$\therefore$ ${\underline{\boxed{\bf x=17cm}}}$
