Answer:
2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
As they are similar triangles, one is simply going to be bigger than the other, meaning that if triangle T’s side QS is = 9 and triangle W’s corresponding side ZX is =6.5. When dividing 9 by 6.5, it is obvious that triangle W is 0.72 smaller than triangle T. All you then have to do to calculate length of side XY is times side QR on triangle T -cause it’s the corresponding side of these two triangles- by 0.72, and you’ll have your answer of XY= 8.125 :)
Y=-3x+5
the slope is negative because the line is going down from left to right
the y-intercept is 5 because that’s where the line crosses the y-axis
Answer:
To drain the water tower it will take 36 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
A 72,000 water tower is being drained, and in an hour 2000 gallons are drained.
Now, to calculate the hours it would take to drain total 72,000 gallons of water, we should divide the gallons of water drained in one hour by total gallons of water in the tower.
Gallons of total water in the tower ÷ Gallons of water drained per hour
Therefore, to drain the water tower it will take 36 hours.
