Larry's construction team is working on a project to build several small buildings. They want the overall average time spent on each building to be 15 hours or less. So far, they have spent the following amounts of time on the first four buildings: 17 hours, 10 hours, 19 hours, and 13 hours. How many hours should they spend building the fifth building in order to achieve their goal of an average of 15 hours or less?

the answer is 375 miles

step-by-step explanation:

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3

i'm sorry mate, but i am not seeing any figures. i am unable to solve this for you.
