Using the formula a^2+b^2=c^2you can fill in the numbers so that a=height of mattress in inches,b=40 inches or distance from base of the bed and c=48 or length of the ramp. a^2+40^2=48^2a^2+1600=2304
So then it becomes2304-1600=a^2704=a^2 26.5+=aSo, The top of the mattress(after rounding) is 26.5 inches off the ground.

Which symbol correctly compares the two angles? pie/3 30° 3 O A.< O B. = O C. >​
k0ka [10]

Answer:

>

Step-by-step explanation:

π / 3 is in radians.

Radian need to be converted into

degree ( ° ).

The value of in degree is 180°

π / 3 = 180 / 3 = 60°

60° > 30°

So,

( π / 3 ) > 30°

Find X.<br> Round to the nearest tenth.<br><br> Law of Cosines : c2 = 22 + b2 - 2ab cos C
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

70.5°

Step-by-step explanation:

22² = (20)²+(18)² - 2(20)(18) cos X

484 = 400 + 324 - 720 cos X

-240 = -720 cosx

1/3 = cos X

cos^{-1}(\frac{1}{3}) = X

X = 70.52877937

A tank contains 60 kg of salt and 1000 L of water. Pure water enters a tank at the rate 6 L/min. The solution is mixed and drain
MissTica

Answer:

(a) 60 kg; (b) 21.6 kg; (c) 0 kg/L

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Initial amount of salt in tank

The tank initially contains 60 kg of salt.

(b) Amount of salt after 4.5 h

\text{Let A = mass of salt after t min}\\\text{and }r_{i} = \text{rate of salt coming into tank}\\\text{and }r_{0} =\text{rate of salt going out of tank}

(i) Set up an expression for the rate of change of salt concentration.

\dfrac{\text{d}A}{\text{d}t} = r_{i} - r_{o}\\\\\text{The fresh water is entering with no salt, so}\\ r_{i} = 0\\r_{o} = \dfrac{\text{3 L}}{\text{1 min}} \times \dfrac {A\text{ kg}}{\text{1000 L}} =\dfrac{3A}{1000}\text{ kg/min}\\\\\dfrac{\text{d}A}{\text{d}t} = -0.003A \text{ kg/min}

(ii) Integrate the expression

\dfrac{\text{d}A}{\text{d}t} = -0.003A\\\\\dfrac{\text{d}A}{A} = -0.003\text{d}t\\\\\int \dfrac{\text{d}A}{A} = -\int 0.003\text{d}t\\\\\ln A = -0.003t + C

(iii) Find the constant of integration

\ln A = -0.003t + C\\\text{At t = 0, A = 60 kg/1000 L = 0.060 kg/L} \\\ln (0.060) = -0.003\times0 + C\\C = \ln(0.060)

(iv) Solve for A as a function of time.

\text{The integrated rate expression is}\\\ln A = -0.003t +  \ln(0.060)\\\text{Solve for } A\\A = 0.060e^{-0.003t}

(v) Calculate the amount of salt after 4.5 h

a. Convert hours to minutes

\text{Time} = \text{4.5 h} \times \dfrac{\text{60 min}}{\text{1h}} = \text{270 min}

b.Calculate the concentration

A = 0.060e^{-0.003t} = 0.060e^{-0.003\times270} = 0.060e^{-0.81} = 0.060 \times 0.445 = \text{0.0267 kg/L}

c. Calculate the volume

The tank has been filling at 6 L/min and draining at 3 L/min, so it is filling at a net rate of 3 L/min.

The volume added in 4.5 h is  

\text{Volume added} = \text{270 min} \times \dfrac{\text{3 L}}{\text{1 min}} = \text{810 L}

Total volume in tank = 1000 L + 810 L = 1810 L

d. Calculate the mass of salt in the tank

\text{Mass of salt in tank } = \text{1810 L} \times \dfrac{\text{0.0267 kg}}{\text{1 L}} = \textbf{21.6 kg}

(c) Concentration at infinite time

\text{As t $\longrightarrow \, -\infty,\, e^{-\infty} \longrightarrow \, 0$, so A $\longrightarrow \, 0$.}

This makes sense, because the salt is continuously being flushed out by the fresh water coming in.

The graph below shows how the concentration of salt varies with time.
