Q cuts the diagonal PA into 2 equal halves, since the diagonals of rhombus meet at right angles.

Step-by-step explanation:

As given by the statement in the problem,

Q may be the middle point, which cut the diagonal PA into 2 equal halves.

In rhombus, diagonals meet at right angles.

which means that PQ = QA

x+2 = 3x - 14

Grouping the terms, we will get,

3x -x = 14+ 2

2x = 16

dividing by 2 on both sides, we will get,

x = 16/2 = 8

8+2 = 3(8) - 14 = 10 = PQ or QA

A large container holds 8 gallons of water. After 56 minutes the container only has 1 gallon of water left. At what rate is the

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

The rate at which water leaking is $\frac{1}{8}$ gal/min.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A large container holds 8 gallons of water.

After 56 minutes the container only has 1 gallon of water left.

Now, to find at what rate is the water leaking.

So, water leaked from the container = 8 gallons - 1 gallon = 7 gallons.

Time taken for leakage = 56 minutes.

Now, to get the rate:

$\frac{Gallons\ of\ water\ leaked}{Time\ taken\ for\ leakage}$

$=\frac{7 gallons}{56 minutes}$

$=\frac{1 gallon}{8 minutes}$

The rate = $\frac{1}{8}$ gal/min.

Therefore, the rate at which water is leaking is $\frac{1}{8}$ gal/min.
