Answer:
16 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
They climbed 8 meters down
Then 8 meters up to get back to ground level.
Step 2:
8+8=16
The little lines in each side show that the sides are the same length but you also need to find the length of the smaller side which isn’t the same. For this imagine that the shape is split into a square and a triangle and you need to find the long side of the triangle using Pythagoras
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
20^2 + 20^2 = 800
Square root of 800 = 28.3
Then do 28.3-20=8.3
So I think the answer is 20+20+20+20+20+8.3=108.3 cm
Let's first break it down to the time 8 people need for one wall. That would be 10 minutes, right? If one person would have to do it in stead of 8, you'd expect him to take 80 minutes.
To paint 7 walls, he would nee 7x80 = 560 minutes. 10 people would do that 10 times faster, ie., 56 minutes.
I know puzzles like these always have a mindtrick. Did I miss anything?? ;-)
5,040 I think because 7•6•5•4•3•2•1=5040
Plug in (7, 12) for x and y in the equation.
12 = 2(7) + 1
12 = 14 + 1
12 ≠ 15
Therefore, (7, 12) is not on the straight line equation.
