Answer:

  48 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of filling from both pipes is the sum of the rates in units of tanks per hour. We want the time for 2/3 of a tank.

<h3>Sum of rates</h3>

The sum of the filling rates is ...

  rate A + rate B = (1/3) tank/hour + (1/2) tank/hour = 5/6 tank/hour

<h3>Fill time</h3>

The time to fill a tank or part thereof will be the number of tanks divided by the rate in tanks per hour:

  time = (2/3 tank)/(5/6 tank/hour) = ((4/6)/(5/6)) hour = 4/5 hour

There are 60 minutes in an hour, so the fill time is ...

  (4/5 hour)×(60 min/hour) = 48 min

It will take 48 minutes for both pipes to fill 2/3 of the tank.

Please HELP! I DON'T KNOW HOW CAN I SOLVE THIS ​
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

<h2>41. x = √2</h2><h2>42. x = √5</h2><h2>43. x = 4</h2><h2>44. x = 4√3</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean Theorem:

leg^2+leg^2=hypotenuse^2\to a^2+b^2=c^2

41.\\\\a=1,\ b=1,\ c=x\\\\x^2=1^2+1^2\\\\x^2=1+1\\\\x^2=2\to x=\sqrt2

42.\\a=1, b=2,\ c=x\\\\x^2=1^2+2^2\\\\x^2=1+4\\\\x^2=5\to x=\sqrt5

43.\\a=3,\ b=x,\ c=5\\\\3^2+x^2=5^2\\\\9+x^2=25\qquad\text{subtract 9 from both sides}\\\\x^2=16\to x=\sqrt{16}\to x=4

44.\\\\a=4,\ b=x,\ c=8\\\\4^2+x^2=8^2\\\\16+x^2=64\qquad\text{subtract 16 from both sides}\\\\x^2=48\to x=\sqrt{48}\\\\x=\sqrt{16\cdot3}\qquad\text{use}\ \sqrt{ab}=\sqrt{a}\cdot\sqrt{b}\\\\x=\sqrt{16}\cdot\sqrt3\\\\x=4\sqrt3
