Answer:

a) QT = 8

b) QN = 24

c) QP = 23

d) MP = 46

e) RT = 6

f) TP = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the diagram attached

If T is the centroid of<MNP, then the following are true;

TN = 2QT

Given TN = 16

16 = 2QT

QT = 16/2

QT = 8

QN = QT + TN

QN = 8 + 16

QN = 24

MQ + QP = MP and MQ = QP

If MQ = 23

QP = 23

Recall that MP = MQ + QP

MP = MQ + MQ

MP = 2MQ

MP = 2(23)

MP = 46

Similarly, TP = 2RT

RT = TP/2

Also RP = RT + TP

RP = RT + 2 RT

RP = 3RT

18 = 3RT

RT = 18/3

RT = 6

Recall that TP = 2RT

TP = 2(6)

TP = 12

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

45 days

Step-by-step explanation:

first Project using 45 workers, is finished in 15 days.

that is 15(45) = 675 worker•days of labor

second project is expected to take 675 worker•days of labor to complete as well

675 worker•days/ 15 workers = 45 days

HELP PLEASE

Answer:

26.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Law Of Cosines:

$cos(A)=\frac{b^2+c^2-a^2}{2bc}$

This should work for any side. This can generally be thought as:

$cos(\text{angle}) = \frac{\text{sum of squares of two other sides-opposite side squared}}{\text{2 times the product of the other two sides}}$

If this is too confusing here's the formula for the other sides (which is essentially the same, just different variables)

$cos(B)=\frac{a^2+c^2-b^2}{2ac}$

$cos(C) =\frac{a^2+b^2-c^2}{2ab}$

Anyways now just plug in the known values into the equation

$cos(A)=\frac{4^2+6^2-3^2}{2(6)(4)}\\$

Square and multiply values

$cos(A)=\frac{16+36-9}{48}$

Add the values in the numerator

$cos(A)=\frac{43}{48}$

Take the inverse of cosine on both sides

$A=cos^{-1}(\frac{43}{48})$

calculate arccosine (inverse cosine) using a calculator

$A\approx 26.384$

Round to nearest tenth

$A\approx26.4$
