Answer:

Part a) 160\ gallons

Part b) 480\ gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a) How many gallons of water will be in the pool after 20 minutes?

we know that

Using proportion

\frac{40}{5}\frac{gallons}{minutes}=\frac{x}{20}\frac{gallons}{minutes} \\ \\x=40*20/5\\ \\x=160\ gallons

Part b) How many gallons of water will be in the pool after 1 hour

we know that

1 hour = 60 minutes

Using proportion

\frac{40}{5}\frac{gallons}{minutes}=\frac{x}{60}\frac{gallons}{minutes} \\ \\x=40*60/5\\ \\x=480\ gallons

If a tree 28 meters tall casts a shadow 32 meters long, what is the angle of elevation of the sun to the nearest degree?
avanturin [10]
Since we need an angle measure we have to use an inverse trig ratio, sin^-1, cos^-1, or tan^-1.
Setting up the right triangle we have the opposite and adjacent so we use tan.
tan angle = 28/32
tan^-1 (28/32) = 41 degrees

A fish tank in the shape of a rectangular prism holds 30 cubic feet of water .the tank has a length of 5 feet and width of 3 fee
Flura [38]

Answer:

A - 2 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the tank is a rectangular prism which means the volume is equal to length*width*depth

since the tank can hold 30 cubic feet of water, we can divide 30 by the given dimensions of the length and width to find the depth

30/5 = 6

6/3 = 2

therefore, the depth of the tank has to be 2 feet (A)
