Answer:

The hose pipe can fill the pond in 21.465 hours.

The inlet pipe can fill the pond in 20.465 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that, a inlet pipe and a hose pipe together can fill the pond in 10 hours.

The inlet pipe alone can fill the pond in one hour less time than the hose pipe can  fill the pond.

Let the hose pipe can complete the job in x hours.

Then the inlet pipe can fill the pond in (x-1) hours.

The rate of filling of hose pipe is =\frac{1}{x}

The rate of filling of inlet pipe is =\frac{1}{x-1}

The rate of filling of both pipes is = \frac 1{10}

According to the problem,

\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{x-1}=\frac{1}{10}

\Rightarrow \frac{x-1+x}{x(x-1)}=\frac1{10}                              [ simplifying the fraction]

\Rightarrow \frac{2x-1}{x^2-x}=\frac1{10}                            

\Rightarrow 10(2x-1)= x^2-x                [ Multiplying 10(x²-x) both sides]

\Rightarrow x^2-x= 20x-10

\Rightarrow x^2-x-20x+10=0             [ simplifying ]

\Rightarrow x^2-21x+10=0

\Rightarrow x=\frac{-(-21)\pm\sqrt{(-21)^2-4.1.10}}{2.1}       [ applying quadratic formula]

\Rightarrow x=\frac{21\pm21.93}{2.1}

⇒ x= 21.465,  -0.465

x= - 0.465 does not possible, since time can not be negative.

∴x=21.465

The hose pipe can fill the pond in 21.465 hours.

The inlet pipe can fill the pond in (21.465-1)=20.465 hours.

the length of a sandbox is three feet longer than it’s width. Write the expression that would represent the area of the sandbox.
Rashid [163]

Part A : D.)

Part B : Length of the sandbox is 10 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Perimeter = 29 ft

We need to find the equation for the perimeter and also the length of the sandbox.

Solution,

Let the width of the sandbox be 'w'.

Now as per question said;

The length of the sandbox is 1 foot longer than twice the width of the sandbox.

So we can say that;

Length =

Now we know that the perimeter is equal to the sum of twice of length and width.

framing in equation form, we get;

Perimeter =

we have given the perimeter, so on substituting the value, we get;

Hence The equation used to find the width is  .

Now we solve for 'w'.

Applying distributive property, we get;

Subtracting both side by '2' we get

Dividing both side by 6 we get;

Width of the sandbox = 4.5 ft

Length of the sandbox =

Hence Length of the sandbox is 10 feet.

Which shapes can be drawn with two opposite angles equal to 105°
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A shape with two opposite angles equal to 105° could be a quadrilateral, a parallelogram, a rhombus or a trapezoid

Because

<em>A quadrilateral</em>: A quadrilateral is a four-sided polygon. The sum of the interior angles in any quadrilateral must be equal to 360 degrees

so

If the quadrilateral have two opposite angles equal to 105°, then the sum of the other two interior angles must be equal to

360^o-2(105^o)=150^o

<em>A parallelogram</em>: A Parallelogram is a flat shape with opposite sides parallel and equal in length. Opposite angles are congruent and consecutive angles are supplementary

so

If the parallelogram have two opposite angles equal to 105°, then the measure of each of the other two congruent interior angles must be equal to

180^o-105^o=75^o

<em>A rhombus</em>: A Rhombus is a flat shape with 4 equal straight sides. A rhombus looks like a diamond. All sides have equal length. Opposite sides are parallel. Opposite angles are congruent and consecutive angles are supplementary

so

If the Rhombus have two opposite angles equal to 105°, then the measure of each of the other two congruent interior angles must be equal to

180^o-105^o=75^o

<em>A trapezoid</em>: A trapezoid is a 4-sided flat shape with straight sides that has a pair of opposite sides parallel

so

If the trapezoid have two opposite angles equal to 105°, then the sum of the other two interior angles must be equal to

360^o-2(105^o)=150^o
