I'm not sure if this is the answer, but this is how I solved it.
A= 1/2 bh (area of a triangle) (1/2 times base times height)
A=1/2 * 3/4
A=3/8?
Do have the picture of the triangle by any chance?
Answer:
7.5 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
The key here is to find out how much can be done in the same amount ot time
the least common multiple of 5 hrs and 3 hrs is 15hrs
In 15 hours:
- At 5 hours per lawn Norton could mow 15/5 = 3 lawns
- At 3 hours per lawn together thay could mow 15/3 = 5 lawns
In 15 hours Jesse would mow 5 - 3 = 2 lawns
15 hours/ 2 lawns = 7.5 hours per lawn
7.5 hours
--------------------
Here's the math
1 lawn/5hrs + x = 1 lawn / 3hrs
1/5 + x = 1/3
Subtract 1/5 from both sides
x = 1/3 - 1/5
x = 5/15 - 3/15
x = 2/15
x = 2lawns/15 hrs
15hrs/2lawns = 7.5 hrs per lawn
7.5 hours
Answer: x = 2 and z=78
Step-by-step explanation:
Opposite angles are non-adjacent angles formed by two intersecting lines. Opposite angles are congruent (equal in measure). Z is Opposite to 78 angle, so z=78.
Adjacent angles add up to 180 degrees, and 78 and (5x + 92) are adyacents so:
5x + 92 + 78 = 180
5x + 170 = 180
5x = 180 - 170
5x = 10
x = 10/5
x = 2
