= 6cm and BC = 10cm, find the area of ∆𝐴𝐵𝐸.

10. Alex, Bobby and Carl dig a garden of 460 m2. Alex starts digging on his own. After a
while Bobby joins him and finally Carl joins them. Each of them digs 40 m2 per hour,

15. In a regular clock, the hour hand completes one full rotation while the minute hand
completes 12 rotations and the second hand completes 720 rotations. Now, we have
a special clock where the minute hand completes 16 rotations and the second hand
completes 36 rotations when the hour hand completes one full rotation.
We start with the position where three hands overlapped with each other. During a
full rotation of the hour hand, how many times do the three hands overlap with each
other? (Exclude the starting and ending positions)

and 23557 are not. How many “Coco-numbers” are there?
