Answer:

  x = 10·cos(θ) -4·cot(θ)

Step-by-step explanation:

Apparently, we are to assume that the horizontal lines are parallel to each other.

The relevant trig relations are ...

  Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

  Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

If the junction point in the middle of AB is labeled X, then we have ...

  sin(θ) = 4/BX   ⇒   BX = 4/sin(θ)

  cos(θ) = x/XA   ⇒   XA = x/cos(θ)

Then ...

  BX +XA = AB = 10

Substituting for BX and XA using the above relations, we get

  4/sin(θ) +x/cos(θ) = 10

Solving for x gives ...

  x = (10 -4/sin(θ))·cos(θ)

  x = 10·cos(θ) -4·cot(θ) . . . . . simplify

_____

We used the identity ...

   cot(θ) = cos(θ)/sin(θ)

Sladkaya [172]

Answer: C. 70 percent

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, Time for the first unit = 50 minutes

Time for the second unit = 35 minutes

The unit improvement factor learning curve = (The time for the second unit) ÷ (time for the first unit) x 100.

So, The unit improvement factor learning curve  = 35÷ 50 × 100 = 70 percent.

Hence, the correct option is "C. 70 percent".

A patrolman spends 25% every day completing paperwork. The patrolman’s shift each day is 8 hours. How much of his time does he s
fredd [130]
Assuming the man works 8 hours straight without breaks:

25% is the same as 1/4 of something.

So, we just have to figure out what 1/4 (one quarter) of 8 equals.

You can think of it as a pizza cut into 8 slices. One slice is equivalent to one hour for the patrolman.

If we take away 1/2 (half) of the pizza, we have 4 slices, right? Since we start with 8 slices, half of that equals 4 slices. In other words, 50% (half) of the pizza = 4 slices.

Now, 25% (one quarter) of the pizza will equal half of what is left:

If we know that 50%=4 slices (or 4 hours), then 25% must be 2 slices (or 2 hours).

That's it! 25% of 8 hours = 2 hours.

***So, the patrolman spends 2 hours each day completing paperwork.***

Lets check our work:
We know 8 hours (or 8 slices)= 100%
(We know this because
8 slices = 1 whole pizza, or 100% of a pizza. Similarly,
8 hours = 1 whole shift or 100% of the man's shift ).

So

25% + 25% + 25% + 25% = 100%

If 100% of the mans shift = 8 hours:

2+2+2+2 = 8

It checks out!


Hope this helps!
