Answer:

  obtuse triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

The two shortest sides are 7, 15. Their sum is 7+15 = 22, which is longer than the longest side, so these lengths will form a triangle.

__

The "form factor" can be computed to be ...

  a^2 +b^2 -c^2 . . . . . where c = longest side

This value is ...

  7^2 +15^2 -21^2 = 49 +221 -441 = -167

This negative value indicates the largest angle is more than 90°, so the triangle is obtuse.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

This "form factor" has the same sign as the cosine of the largest angle. The cosine is negative for angles greater than 90°. The cosine of the angle is ...

  "form factor"/(2ab) = -167/210

  largest angle = arccos(-167/210) ≈ 142.678°

The number of hours required to do a job varies inversely as the number of people working. It takes 8 hours for 4 people to pain
dezoksy [38]

Answer: it will take 5 people 6.4 hours to do the work.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of hours required to do a job varies inversely as the number of people working. Let h represent the number of hours required to do the job. Let p represent the number of people working. Therefore,

h is inversely proportional to p

Introducing a constant of variation, k, it means that

h = k/p

It takes 8 hours for 4 people to paint the inside of a house. Therefore

8 = k/4

k = 8×4 = 32

The formula becomes

h = 32/p

To determine how many hours it will take 5 people to do the work, we will substitute p = 5 into the formula. It becomes

h = 32/5 = 6.4 hours

snow_tiger [21]
The answer is 30 because 1/8 of 40 is 5 so 40-5 = 35 and 1/7 of 35 is 5 so 35-5 = 30
