Let the dimensions be x and y

Given that the area is 40m²
xy = 40 ----------------- (1)

Given that the perimeter is 26
2(x + y) = 26
x + y = 13
x = 13 - y ---------------- Sub into (1)

(13 - y)y = 40
13y - y² = 40
y² - 13y + 40 = 0
(y - 8)(y - 5) = =
y = 8 or y = 5

The dimensions are 8 meters and 5 meters

If 3 quarts of paint are needed for 50 ft of fence, how many quarts are needed for 300 ft of fence?
Zina [86]

Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you would do a proportion

\frac{3}{50}=\frac{x}{300}

Then you would cross multiply, getting 50x=900.

After that, you would do 900/50, which is 18.

After 4,000 gallons of water were added to a large water tank that was already filled to 3/4 of its capacity, the tank was then
dangina [55]

Answer:  The correct option is

(E) 80,000.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that after adding 4,000 gallons of water to a large tank that was already filled to \dfrac{3}{4} of its capacity, the tank was then at \drac{4}{5} of its capacity.

We are to find the number of gallons of water that the tank hold when filled to capacity.

Let the tank can hold x gallons of water when filled to capacity.

Then, according to the given information, we have

\dfrac{3}{4}x+4000=\dfrac{4}{5}x\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{4}{5}x-\dfrac{3}{4}x=4000\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{16-15}{20}x=4000\\\\\Rightarrow x=4000\times20\\\\\Rightarrow x=80000.

Thus, the required capacity of the tank is 80,000 gallons of water.

Option (E) is CORRECT.

You are filling up a cylindrical tank with a radius of 5m with water at a rate of 3 cm^3/min. Unbeknownst to you the tank has a
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

dh/dt = 3/25π m/min

Step-by-step explanation:

Radius = 5m

Rate (dV/dt) = 3 cm^3 / min

Leaking rate = 1 cm^3 / min

Volume = πr^2h

Volume = π(5)^2h

V= 25πh

Differentiate volume implicitly with respect to time

dV/dt = 3 cm^3/min

3 = 25π(dh/dt)

dh/dt = 3 m^3/min /25πm^2

dh/dt = 3/25πm/min
