Answer: 20 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

This represents a right angled triangle with the length of the slide being the hypotenuse, the height of the ladder being the height of the triangle and the distance from the base of the ladder being the length.

Solve with Pythagoras rule:

c² = a² + b²

c = hypotenuse

a= length

b = height

29² = 21² + b²

841 = 441 + b²

b² = 841 - 441

b² = 400

b = √400

b = 20 feet

Working alone and at a constant rate, Machine A takes 3 hours to create a widget. Machine B, working alone and at a constant rat
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

Time required by Machine B to create a widget = 4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Time taken by Machine A ( T_{A} ) = 3 hours

Time taken by Machine B ( T_{B} )= x hours

Time taken by both machines by working together = 12 hours

The time required to both machines by  working together to finish a task is given by the formula = \frac{T_{A} {T_{B} } }{T_{A} + T_{B} }

Put the values in above formula we get

⇒ T =  \frac{3 x}{3 + x}

⇒ 12 =  \frac{3 x}{3 + x}

⇒ 36 + 12 x = 3 x

⇒ x = - 4 hours

This is the time required by Machine B to create a widget.

Find the infinite sum of 10,5,2.5,1.25...
____ [38]
Notice this is a geometric progression since each number multiplied by some factor equals the next number in the sequence, in this case,

10 \times r = 5 \Rightarrow r=0.5

Then by applying the formula for sum to infinity of a geometric progression,
S_\infty = \frac{a}{1-r} = \frac{10}{1-0.5} = 20

Simplify the following expression 5^2-4/5+2
oee [108]
If <span>(5^2-4) / (5+2) then
=(25 - 4 )/3
= 21/3
= 7

if 4/5 fraction then
</span><span>5^2-4/5+2
= 25 - 4/5 + 2
= 27 - 4/5
= 26 5/5 - 4/5
= 26 1/5
= 26.2</span>
