Answer:

<u>It takes the hose 300 hours to fill the pool</u>

<u />

Step-by-step explanation:

The hose can fill the pool at a rate of 0.5 gallons per second, which means that it can fill the pool at a rate of 1 gallon per 2 seconds. It needs to fill 9000 gallons of water, so assuming the ratio remains 1:2, it takes the hose 18000 (9000*2) seconds to fill the pool completely.

However, it is important to note that we have to answer in terms of hours. There are 60 seconds in an hour, so 18000 seconds is equal to <u>300 hours</u> (18000/60).

Answer:

If the pool's capacity is 9,000 gallons the number of hours it takes for the hose to completely fill an empty pool is 5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A hose fills a swimming pool at a rate of 0.5 gallons per second.

If the pool's capacity is 9,000 gallons, we have to find the number of hours it would take for the hose to completely fill an empty pool.

Step 1 of 1

Do a basic conversion problem:

time in seconds$=9000$ gallons $\cdot \frac{1 \text { seconds }}{0.5 \text { gallons }}$

$$\begin{aligned}&=\frac{9000}{0.5} \text { seconds } \\&=18000 \text { seconds }\end{aligned}$$

We can also convert seconds to hours using conversion factors. This gives

$$\begin{aligned}18000 \text { seconds } &=(18000 \text { seconds }) \cdot \frac{1 \text { minute }}{60 \text { seconds }} \cdot \frac{1 \text { hour }}{60 \text { minutes }} \\&=\frac{18000}{60 \cdot 60} \text { hours } \\&=5 \text { hours }\end{aligned}$$

Find the area of the regular polygon. Round to the nearest tenth.
mojhsa [17]

Given:

Side length = 12 in

To find:

The area of the regular polygon.

Solution:

Number of sides (n) = 6

Let us find the apothem using formula:

$a=\frac{s}{2 \tan \left(\frac{180^\circ}{n}\right)}

where s is side length and n is number of sides.

$a=\frac{12}{2 \tan \left(\frac{180^\circ}{6}\right)}

$a=\frac{6}{ \tan (30^\circ)}

$a=\frac{6}{ \frac{1}{\sqrt{3} }}

$a=6\sqrt{3}

Area of the regular polygon:

$A=\frac{1}{2}(\text { Perimeter })(\text { apothem })$

$A=\frac{1}{2}(6 \times 12)(6\sqrt{3} )

$A=\frac{1}{2}(72)(6\sqrt{3} )

A=216 \sqrt{3}

A=374.1 in²

The area of the regular polygon is 374.1 in².

Please help me. math.
KiRa [710]

Answer:

y =293(1.06) ^x

y = 370  after 4 years

Step-by-step explanation:

If we are using the model for growth

y = a ( 1+b)^x

a is the initial population

b is  the increase rate

We can substitute the values into the equation

y =293 (1+.06) ^ x

y =293(1.06) ^x


Let x equal 4 for the 4 years

y = 293(1.06)^4

y=369.9
