Answer:
10
Step-by-step explanation:
Seeing the 5 12 13 triple you get 1/2x=5 so
x=10
Answer:
percentage of the total capacity is 75.6%
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello! To solve this problem we follow the following steps
1. draw the complete scheme of the problem (see attached image)
2. To solve this problem we must find the area of the circular sector using the following equation.(c in the second attached image)


3. observing the attached images we replace the values in the equations and find the area of the circular sector, remember that you must transform the angle to radians


4.we calculate the area of the total circle (At), then subtract the area of the circular sector (Ac) to find the area occupied by water (Aw)

Aw=At-Ac=153.93-37.57=116.36ft^2
5.Finally, we calculate the percentage that represents the water in the tank by dividing the area of the water over the total area of the tank

percentage of the total capacity is 75.6%
You have to make a cos graph that starts its minimum and of -2, has an amplitude of 10, a period of 10 and a maximum of 18.
I decided to use a cos graph since cos graphs start at their minimum or maximum unlike a sine graph that starts halfway between the minimum and maximum. You also know the amplitude has to be 10 since 18+2=20 and 20/2=10. We were also told that the water wheel completels a rotation every 10 minutes which means the period is 10 minutes.
lets start of with a regular cos(x) graph. This starts on its maximum instead of minimum so we have to multiply it by -1 to get -cos(x) which does start on its minimum.
-cos(x) has an amplitude of 1 instead of 10, to fix that we multiply it by 10 to get -10cos(x) which has an amplitude of 10.
-10cos(x) has a period of 2π instead of 10, to fix this we multiply the x by 2π/10 to get -10cos((π/5)x) which now has a period of 10.
-10cos((π/5)x) has a minimum of -10 and maximum of 10 instead of a minimum of -2 and maximum of 18, to fix this we add 8 to -10cos((π/5)x) to get -10cos((π/5)x)+8 which does have a minimum of -2 and maximum of 18.
Therefore the answer is y=-10cos((π/5)x)+8. x being time in minutes and and y being the height in feet.
I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.
