Answer:

7 hours 30min

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one :

Given data

We are told that Erica can paint 1 room in 5hours

Her work rate is 1/5 room per hour

And also with the assistance of her friend they can paint 1 room in 3 hours

Hence their combined work rate is 1/3 room per hour

Step two

The combined work expression is

1/A+1/B=1/T

Where A=Erica's work rate

B=Rachael's work rate

T=combined work

1/5+1/B=1/3

1/B=1/3-1/5

1/B=5-3/15

1/B=2/15

B=15/2

B=7.5 hours

It will take Rachel 7 hours 30min to paint the room

PROVING THEOREMS OF SQUAD can someone help me pleasee ASAP​
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

40 units

Step-by-step explanation:

For a square, all the sides are equal and the interior angles are equal and all equal to 90. Hence;

m<BOJ = 90 degrees

m<BOJ = 4x - 6

Equating both to get x;

4x - 6 = 90

4x = 90+6

4x = 96

x = 96/4

x = 24

Since all the sides are equal, hence BO = JO = 2x-8

JO = 2x - 8

Substitute x = 24 into JO

JO = 2(24) - 8

JO = 48 - 8

JO = 40

Hence the measure of JO is 40 units
