Answer: 349.6 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a simple proportion problems.

The flow rate = 87 . 4 gallons was dispensed in 15 minutes

That is 15 minutes = 87.4 gallons

Therefore 1 minute = ( 87.4/15 ) gallons

Recall 60 minutes = 1 hour

Now in 60 minute = (87.4/15 ×60/1 ) gallons

= 87.4 × 4

= 349.6 gallons

(Invariably) , Alternative method

15 minutes. = 1/4 of an hour 1/4 = 87 .4 gallons. A gallon. = 87.4/1/4

Recall that reciprocal of 1/4 = 4

Now = 87 .4/1/4

=87.4 × 4

Therefore 1 hour = 87.4 × 4 × 1

= 349 . 6 gallons

I'm stuck on this homework question. I forgot the formula to find the side. This is 9th grade geometry.
dexar [7]

Answer:

x = 2root(22)

see image.

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle shown is one big triangle cut into two more smaller triangles: one medium-sized and one smaller.

ALL THREE TRIANGLES ARE SIMILAR BY AA.

Set the two smaller triangles up so you can see the corresponding sides. x is the short leg in one triangle and it is the long leg in the smallest triangle. Set up a proportion.

22/x = x/4

crossmultiply

x^2 = 22•4

x^2 = 88

square root both sides.

x = sqroot(88)

x = 2sqroot(22)

see image.

Complete the coordinate proof of the theorem. Given: A B C D is a rectangle. Prove: The diagonals of A B C D are congruent.
Inessa05 [86]

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given coordinates of the rectangle ABCD:</u>

  • A(0, 0), B(a, 0), C(x, y), D(0, b)

Lets first find coordinates of C

We can see that A and B are on same line horizontally, so C and D will be on the parallel line

The distance AB and CD are equal also distance AD and BC are equal, therefore

  • AB = a - 0 = a, CD = a
  • AD = b - 0 = b, BC = b

<u>So the coordinates of C are:</u>

  • x = a, y = b

<u>Now the diagonals:</u>

  • AC = √(a-0)² + (b-0)² = √a²+b²
  • BD =√(0-a)² + (b -0)² = √a² + b²

Since AC = BD, we can state they are congruent

The volume of a cube is related to the area of s face by the formula v= a^3/2. What is the volume of a cube whose face has an ar
Sophie [7]

Answer:

  1000 m³

Step-by-step explanation:

Put the number into the formula and do the arithmetic.

  v = a^(3/2) = (100 m²)^(3/2) = (√100)³ m³ = 1000 m³

The volume is 1000 cubic meters.

Solve AABC. Round your answers to the nearest hundredth, if necessary
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

C=25^{\circ},\\a\approx 10.72,\\b\approx 11.83

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180 degrees. Thus, angle C must be 180-90-65=25^{\circ}.

In any triangle, the Law of Sines is given by \frac{\sin A}{a}=\frac{\sin B}{b}=\frac{\sin C}{c}.

Therefore, we have:

\frac{\sin 90^{\circ}}{b}=\frac{\sin 25^{\circ}}{5},\\\\b=\frac{5\sin90^{\circ}}{\sin 25^{\circ}}=11.8310079158\approx \boxed{11.83}

\frac{a}{\sin 65^{\circ}}=\frac{5}{\sin25^{\circ}},\\a=\frac{5\sin 65^{\circ}}{\sin25^{\circ}}=10.7225346025\approx \boxed{10.72}
