A can do a piece of work in 4 hours and B can do it in 6 hours. How much time would they take working together to finish the wor

Kipish [7]

Answer:

2.4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let total work = X

Rate of work done = X ÷ time

Rate of A = X/4

Rate of B = X/6

If they work together, rate is the sum of their individual rates, i.e.

X/4 + X/6

= (3X + 2X)/12 (taking LCM)

=5X/12

Rate = X/time

5X/12 = X/time

time = X÷(5X/12)

time = X × 12/(5X)

time = 2.4 hours

Shortcut:

Product of individual times/sum of individual times

= (4×6)/(4+6)

=24/10

=2.4 hours

Triangle JKL has vertices J(2,5), K(1,1), and L(5,2). Triangle QNP has vertices Q(-4,4), N(-3,0), and P(-7,1). Is (triangle)JKL

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

Yes they are

Step-by-step explanation:

In the triangle JKL, the sides can be calculated as following:

J(2;5); K(1;1)

=> JK = $\sqrt{(1-2)^{2} + (1-5)^{2} } = \sqrt{(-1)^{2}+(-4)^{2} } = \sqrt{1+16}=\sqrt{17}$

J(2;5); L(5;2)

=> JL = $\sqrt{(5-2)^{2} + (2-5)^{2} } = \sqrt{3^{2}+(-3)^{2} } = \sqrt{9+9}=\sqrt{18} = 3\sqrt{2}$

K(1;1); L(5;2)

=> KL = $\sqrt{(5-1)^{2} + (2-1)^{2} } = \sqrt{4^{2}+1^{2} } = \sqrt{1+16}=\sqrt{17}$

In the triangle QNP, the sides can be calculate as following:

Q(-4;4); N(-3;0)

=> QN = $\sqrt{[-3-(-4)]^{2} + (0-4)^{2} } = \sqrt{1^{2}+(-4)^{2} } = \sqrt{1+16}=\sqrt{17}$

Q (-4;4); P(-7;1)

=> QP = $\sqrt{[-7-(-4)]^{2} + (1-4)^{2} } = \sqrt{(-3)^{2}+(-3)^{2} } = \sqrt{9+9}=\sqrt{18} = 3\sqrt{2}$

N(-3;0); P(-7;1)

=> NP = $\sqrt{[-7-(-3)]^{2} + (1-0)^{2} } = \sqrt{(-4)^{2}+1^{2} } = \sqrt{16+1}=\sqrt{17}$

It can be seen that QPN and JKL have: JK = QN; JL = QP; KL = NP

=> They are congruent triangles
