Answer:

It will take 5.6 days for the 10 men to dig the same hole 7 m deep.

Step-by-step explanation:

Laying the data in column

----------------------------------------------------

6 men 3 m hole 4 days

10 men 7 m hole x days

-----------------------------------------------------

As $6$ men dig a hole in $4$ days, so their rate will be:

$rate\:=\:\frac{4}{3}$

Then $6$ men would take $7\times \frac{4}{3}=\frac{28}{3}$ days to dig a hole of depth 7 m.

As we are letting 10 men do work, so they would

take $\frac{6}{10}\times \frac{28}{3}=\frac{28}{5}$ days.

$\frac{6}{10}\times \frac{28}{3}=\frac{28}{5}$

$=5.6$ days

Therefore, it will take 5.6 days for the 10 men to dig the same hole 7 m deep.

Step-by-step explanation:

6 men → 4 days → 3 metres

1 man → 24 days → 3 metres

1 man → 8 days → 1 metres

1 man → 56 days → 7 metres

10 men → 5.6 days → 7 metres

therefore, 5.6 days

add the term that makes the given expression into a perfect square. write the result as the square of a bracketed expression c s

Molodets [167]

<h2>Perfect Squares</h2>

Perfect square formula/rules:

$a^2+2ab+b^2=(a+b)^2$
$a^2-2ab+b^2=(a-b)^2$

Trinomials are often organized like $ax^2+bx+c$ .

The <em>b</em> value in this case is <em>c</em>, and it will always equal the square of half of the <em>b</em> value.

Perfect square trinomial: $ax^2+bx+(\dfrac{b}{2})^2$
or $ax^2-bx+(\dfrac{b}{2})^2$

<h2>Solving the Question</h2>

We're given:

$c^2-4c$

In a trinomial, we're given the $ax^2$ and $bx$ values. <em>a</em> in this case is 1 and <em>b</em> in this case is 4. To find the third value by dividing 4 by 2 and squaring the quotient:

4 ÷ 2 = 2
2² = 4

Therefore, the term that we can add is + 4.

$c^2-4c+4$

To write this as the square of a bracketed expression, we can follow the rule $a^2-2ab+b^2=(a-b)^2$ :

$(c-2)^2$

<h2>Answer</h2>

$c^2-4c+4$

$(c-2)^2$

I Need help with question 21 and 22 !

USPshnik [31]

11) First, add 74 and 43.

74+43=117

Subtract 117 from 180. Do this because this will give you the value of angle 1. This is because the sum of the angles in a triangle will always add up to 180 degrees.

180-117=63

Angle 1 = 63 degrees

Angle 2 also equals 63 degrees, because they are vertical angles.

Angle 2= 63 degrees

Now, add 63 and 79

63+79=142

Subtract 142 from 180

180-142=38

Angle 3 = 38 degrees

12)

First, subtract 56 from 180. Do this to find angle C. They are supplementary angles, so they will equal 180 degrees.

180-56=124

Angle C=124 degrees

Now, add 124 and 20

124+20=144

Finally, subtract 144 from 180

180-144=36

The measure of angle A is 36 degrees

Hope this helped! :)
