A leak in a pool causes the height of the water to decrease by 0.25 foot over 2 hours. After the leak is fixed, the height of th

e water is 4.75 feet. The equation 4.75 = x + (negative 0.25) can be used to find x, the original height of the water in a pool.
What was the original height of the water in the pool in feet?

Answer:

Assuming the leak took 2 hours to fix, the original height of the pool is 5 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is probably the most simple "high school" problem I've seen in a while. All you have to do is move the negative 0.25 to the other side to isolate x. That gives you 4.75 + 0.25, or 5 feet.

Answer:

(B) 5 Feet

Step-by-step explanation:

if water decresed .25 feet it was then .25 feet higher originally.

if the  water is 4.75 feet now you add the .25 compared to that equalling 5 ft.

Identify all solutions for a triangle with A = 38 degrees b = 10, and a= 8. Round to the nearest tenth.
rjkz [21]

Answer:

A = 38°

B = 50.32°

C = 91.68°

a = 8

b = 10

c = 12.77

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing is to find the angle B, like this:

sin B = b * sin A / a = 10 * sin (38 °) / 8

sin B = 0.77

B = arc sin (0.77)

B = 50.32 °

For angle C, it would be:

C = 180 - 38 - 50.32

C = 91.68 °

Side c, we calculate it like this:

c = a * sin C / sin A = 8 * sin (91.68 °) / sin (38 °)

c = 12.77

What is the answer A B C or D
Vanyuwa [196]

To solve this question, use the Cube surface area formula

Area = 6a^2 in which a = edge.

edge = 8.5

Area = 6(8.5)²

Simplify. Follow PEMDAS

Area = 6(72.25)

Area = 433.5

(C) 433.5 in² is your answer

hope this helps
