area = ( top rule + bottom rule ) × height / 2
area = ( 2 + 3 ) × 4 / 2
area = 5 × 4 / 2
area = 20 / 2
area = 10
Answer:
24 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
This question shows up in a great many places in math or physics, so it is a pretty good question to learn how to do.
First you should note that answer will be under 40 minutes.
1/40 + 1/60 = 1/TimeTotal
The common denominator on the left is 120 minutes
3/40*3 + 2/60*2 = 1/timetotal
3/120 + 2/120 = 1/ timetotal
5/120 = 1/time total Now to use to the key stop
What you do now is you always turn the left side over. You do the same thing to total time.
120/5 = total time
24 = total time
What this means is that if you let both pipes run for 24 minutes, they will fill the tank working together.
