Answer:

The water rises at a rate of 16/(9π) ft/min or approximately 0.566 ft/min.

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a cone is:

V = ⅓ π r² h

Using similar triangles, we can relate the radius and height of the water to the radius and height of the tank.

r / h = R / H

r / h = 3 / 12

r = ¼ h

Substitute:

V = ⅓ π (¼ h)² h

V = ¹/₄₈ π h³

Take derivative with respect to time:

dV/dt = ¹/₁₆ π h² dh/dt

Plug in values:

4 = ¹/₁₆ π (6)² dh/dt

dh/dt = 16 / (9π)

dh/dt ≈ 0.566

The water rises at a rate of 16/(9π) ft/min or approximately 0.566 ft/min.

Write a ratio for the follow description : Kaleel made three times as many baskets as many baskets as john during basketball pra
andrew-mc [135]

3:1 because she makes 3 times more baskets than John.

If a bowl of fruit contains 8 lemons and 6 oranges, then the ratio of oranges to lemons is eight to six or 8:6 which then can be reduced by to 4:3.

You reduce it by a common factor they share such as 2, because 2 x 4 = 8 and 2 x 3 = 6.

Hope that is the answer you seek.
