3 pipes take 12 hours
⇒ In 1 hour, the 3 pipes can fill 1/12 of the pool

2 of the pipes take 18 hours
⇒ in 1 hour, the 2 pipes can fill 1/18 of the pool

In 1 hour, the third pipe alone can fill :

\dfrac{1}{12} - \dfrac{1}{18} = \dfrac{3}{36} - \dfrac{2}{36} = \dfrac{1}{36} \text { of the pool}

Time needed :

1 \div \dfrac{1}{36} = 1 \times 36 = 36 \text { hours}

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: It will take 36 hours for the third pipe to fill the pool.

Find AB. Round the answer to the nearest tenth if needed.

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  8

Step-by-step explanation:

The product of segment lengths to the near and far circle intersection points is the same for both "secants". AD is a tangent, so the two intersection points are the same point. This gives ...

  AD² = AB·AC

  144 = AB(AB +10)

We can add 25 to complete the square.

  169 = (AB +5)² . . . write as a square

  13 = AB +5 . . . . . . positive square root

  8 = AB . . . . . . . . . .subtract 5

36 boys complete a school task in 4 hours. How many boys would be required to complete the same task in 2¼ hours?​
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

If 36 boys can conplete a task in 4 hours, then 19.35 boys could do it in 2 and a fourth hours.

You can set up an equation

A fourth of an hour is 15 minutes, so,

36 is to 4 as x is to 2.15, or,

36=4 as X=2.15

Multiply 2.15 by 36 (77.4)

77.4 divided by 4= 19.35.

Of course, you cannot have 19.35 boys, so there must be 20.

Hope this helps!

What is the measure of <A​
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

98 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

The opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral add up to 180 degrees.

So m <A + 82 = 180

m<A = 180 - 82 = 98 degrees.
