<span>30 hours For this problem, going to assume that the actual flow rate for both pipes is constant for the entire duration of either filling or emptying the pool. The pipe to fill the pool I'll consider to have a value of 1/12 while the drain that empties the pool will have a value of 1/20. With those values, the equation that expresses how many hour it will take to fill the pool while the drain is open becomes: X(1/12 - 1/20) = 1 Now solve for X X(5/60 - 3/60) = 1 X(2/60) = 1 X(1/30) = 1 X/30 = 1 X = 30 To check the answer, let's see how much water would have been added over 30 hours. 30/12 = 2.5 So 2 and a half pools worth of water would have been added. Now how much would be removed? 30/20 = 1.5 And 1 and half pools worth would have been removed. So the amount left in the pool is 2.5 - 1.5 = 1 And that's exactly the amount needed.</span>

‼️ What is the height of a right triangle with an angle that measures 60 degrees and a base of 14 adjacent to the 60 degree angl
puteri [66]

You'd use tangent for this.

opposite / adjacent

tan 60* = x/14

multiply both sides by 14

tan 60* = 1.73

tan 60* (1.73 x 14) = x

24.22 = x

Your answer should be 24.22

Answer:

They will be picked up at 2 \frac{1}{4} yards above sea level

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us consider sea level as reference and positions above sea level as positive and below sea level as negative.

With respect to this reference,

the position of top most point is +17 \frac{3}{4} yards

and the position of lower most point is -13 \frac{1}{4} yards

⇒ The position of midpoint is \frac{+17 \frac{3}{4} - 13 \frac{1}{4}}{2}

                                              = +2 \frac{1}{4}

∴ <u>They will be picked up at 2 \frac{1}{4} yards above sea level</u>
