There is one clock that shows the right time so we do not have to worry about the one which is always correct.
Talking about the second clock that loses a minutes in every 24 hours (or in a day), so after 60 days (since it has lost 60 minutes because it is losing 1 minute everyday) it will show 11:00 a.m when it is exactly the noon.
So this way, in total it will take
days before it shows the correct noon.
Now, the third clock gains a minute every 24 hours (or in a day) , after 60 days (when it has gained 60 minutes or a complete hour) it will show 1:00 p.m when it is exactly the noon.
This way, it will take
days (since it has gained a minute everyday) when it shows the correct noon.
Therefore, it will take 1440 days before all the three clocks show the correct time again.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>We have similar triangles here.</u>
- BC║DE, AB║AD and AC║AE ⇒ ΔADE ~ ΔABC
<u>The ratio of corresponding sides of similar triangles is same:</u>
- BC/DE = AC/AE
- BC / 2 = 30/3
- BC / 2 = 10
- BC = 2*10
- BC = 20 m

Answer:
≈ 20.8 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
A right triangle is formed between the wall, the ground and the ladder.
The ladder is the hypotenuse , the wall and ground are the legs.
let h be the height of the wall, then using Pythagoras' identity
h² + 33² = 39²
h² + 1089 = 1521 ( subtract 1089 from both sides )
h² = 432 ( take the square root of both sides )
h =
≈ 20.8 ft ( to the nearest tenth )
