Ok so we know that in ONE second, the dam releases 40000 gallons of water. In ONE minute, there are 60 seconds. Therefore...

1 second----------------40000 gallons
60 seconds--------------? ( this is what we're trying to find.

To get from 1 to 60, we multiplied by 60. Now we do it on the other side. 40000 times 60 is 2,400,000, so the rate in gallons per minute is 2,400,000 gallons per minute

Answer:

Water releases in 1 minute = 2400000 gallons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : One of the valves on the Hoover Dam releases 40000 gallons of water per second.

To find : what is the rate in gallons per minute.

Solution : We have given

Water releases in 1 second = 40000 gallons.

1 minute = 60 second.

Water releases in 60 second = 40000 * 60 gallons.

Water releases in 1 minute = 2400000 gallons.

Therefore, Water releases in 1 minute = 2400000 gallons.

Jerry planted a pine tree that was 5 feet tall and a maple tree that was 10 feet tall. The pine tree grew 3 feet taller per year

stich3 [128]

The initial length of the pine tree=5 feet.

Groth rate of pine tree =3 feet/year.

The initial length of the pine tree =10 feet.

Groth rate of the maple tree =2 feet/year.

After x years, the height of the pine tree= 5+3x feet and

after x years, the height of the maple tree= 10+2x feet.

The inequality for which, after x year, the pine tree is taller than the maple tree is

$5+3x>10+2x$

$\Rightarrow x>5$ .

The inequality for which, the pine tree is at least as tall as the maple tree is $5+3x\geq10+2x$ .

$\Rightarrow x\geq 5$ .

Again, after 3x years, the height of the pine tree= 5+3(3x)=5+9x feet and

after 2x years, the height of the maple tree= 10+2(2x)=10+4x feet.

The inequality for which, after 3x years, the pine tree is taller than the maple tree was after 2x years is

$5+9x>10+4x$

$\Rightarrow 5x>5$

$\Rightarrow x>1.$

The inequality for which, the pine tree is at least as tall as the maple tree is $5+9x\geq10+4x$ .

$\Rightarrow 5x\geq5$

$\Rightarrow x\geq 1.$

What is m∠G ?<br><br> Enter your answer in the box.

Elena-2011 [213]

We are given all the angle measures, therefore we can equate all the expressions to 180 degrees. We can do this by using the Triangle Angle Sum Theorem, which states that all triangles' interior angles add up to 180 degrees. After we do that, we get:
x + 3x + 25 + x - 5 = 180
Now, just solve for x:
x + 3x + 25 + x - 5 = 180
5x + 20 = 180
5x = 160
x = 32
We've found the value of x, but the question asks us the measure of angle G. We can find the angle measure by substituting 32 into the expression for angle G. Doing so and simplifying gives us 121 degrees. Therefore, the measure of angle G is 121 degrees. Hope my answer has come of aid to you and have a great day!
