One triangle has angles measuring A, β−α and 90. The other triangle has angles measuring B, α− β, and 90. The two right angles are placed back to back with the two triangles having the same height. Using algebra and substitution, we got something that is similar to the proof but a couple of variables are switched, meaning that there is more work to do. I wonder if this method can be used though...

What aspects of leadership are we talking about: defining leadership, evaluating leadership st...

In a proportionate flow shop problem several jobs have to be processed through a fixed sequence of machines and the processing time of each job is equal on all machines. By identifying jobs with agents whose costs linearly depend on the completion time of their jobs and assuming an initial processing order on the jobs, we face two problems: the first is how to obtain an optimal order that minim...
