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.

Triangle TUV was dilated to create triangle T'U'V' using point A as the center of dilation. What is the scale factor of the dila
Tomtit [17]
A dilation is a transformation, with center O and a scale factor of k that is not zero, that maps O to itself and any other point P to P'. The center O is a fixed point, P' is the image of P, points O, P and P' are on the same line.

Thus, a dilation with centre O and a scale factor of k maps the original figure to the image in such a way that the<span> distances from O to the vertices of the image are k times the distances from O to the original figure. Also the size of the image are k times the size of the original figure.

In the dilation of triangle TUV</span>, It is obvious that the image <span>T'U'V' is smaller than the original triangle TUV and hence the scale factor is less than 1.

</span>The ratio of the distances from A to the vertices of the image T'U'V'  to the distances from A to the original triangle TUV is the scale factor.

The scale factor = 3.2 / 4.8 = 2/3
