Answer:

Okay, here's the method I'm going to use.

If you drive north 6 miles, and then drive east 19 miles, you are technically making a triangle.

                    19 miles

           l_______________

6 milesl

           l

You are just missing the last side of the triangle: the straight line stretching from across your starting point to the ending point. You can find this by using the Pythagorean theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

6^2 + 19^2 = c^2

36 + 361 = c

397 = c

\sqrt{397} = 19.924859

Rounded to the nearest tenth, your answer is

19.9 miles

lutik1710 [3]
To solve for the last side of the triangle, use the Pythagorean Theorem:
(8)^2 + x^2 = (9)^2
x = sqrt of 17
However, this is a NEGATIVE sqrt 17 because the terminal side is in quadrant 4, meaning that this side is under the X-axis and therefore negative.
Now that you know the side opposite of u in the triangle, do opposite/hypotenuse.
sin u = -(sqrt 17)/9

It takes 16 minutes for 9 people to paint 8 walls.how many does it take 4 people to paint 6 walls
luda_lava [24]
The things you can apply to complete this job is workers and time. The job being accomplished is painted walls. This problem defines two jobs. The rate for each of the jobs will be the same. The first job rate is: R=(7 wkr)•(42 min)/(6 walls)R= 49 wkr-min/walls or 49 worker-minutes per wall. This means one worker can paint one wall in 49 minutes. If you think about this job if 7 workers take 42 minutes to do 6 walls it will only take them 7 minutes to do one wall. And it will take one person 7 times as long to do a job as 7 people working together.  This first job rate equals the second job rate R=(8 wkr)•(t )/(8 walls)R=1 t wkr/wall where t is the time to do the second job. Setting the two rates equal to each other and solving for t. t=49 minutes It makes sense if one worker can paint one wall in 49 minutes then 8 workers can paint 8 walls in the same time.

Anettt [7]
Since the exchange rate of euro to USD right now is 1:1.11, therefore he spent 150x1.11=166.5 USD. Therefore, he has 250-166.5=83.5 USD left(assuming the exchange rate is the same, 1.17).
