WILL MARK BRAINLIEST! An orchestra of 120 players takes 40 minutes to play Beethoven's 9th Symphony. How long would it take for 60 players to play the symphony? Let P be the number of players and T be the time playing.
Trick question! ;)

Since in an orchestra each player plays parallely, i.e. everyone plays the same line simultaneously, hence the length of the play never depends on the number of players playing it. Hence, time taken by 60 players = time taken by 120 players = 40 minutes. So 60 person will play the 9th harmony in same 40 minutes.

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2

+2+=+1296%2fx%5e2+

++x%5e2+=+1296%2f2+=+648+
