Answer:
The answer is option B : 67.5 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
A farmer normally mixes 1 ½ (1.5) gallons of pesticide solution with 5¼ (5.25) gallons of water for each acre of his fields.
1.5 gallons of pesticide per acre so for 45 acres, that would be = 67.5 gallons of pesticide.
Now he also uses 5.25 gallons of water per acre, so for 45 acres gallons of water is used.
There is space left in the 350 gallon tank.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In ΔMOT and ΔMPR,
OT║PR and MR is a transverse,
Therefore, ∠MTO ≅ ∠MRP [Corresponding angles]
Similarly, OT║PR and MP is a transverse,
Therefore, ∠MOT ≅ ∠MPR [Corresponding angles]
ΔMOT ~ ΔMPR → [By AA postulate of similarity]
[Reason → Corresponding sides of the similar triangles are proportional]
[By segment addition postulate]
1 + = 1 +
In ΔTSR,
∠1 ≅ ∠2 [Given]
Therefore, TR ≅ SR [Sides opposite to the equal angles in a triangle are equal]
Therefore,
Or
Hence proved.
