You would multiply the tanks by gallons
36x205
= 7,380
Answer:
b₁ = (2a – b₂h)/h; b₁ = (2a)/h – b₂; h = (2a)/(b₁ + b₂)
Step-by-step explanation:
A. <em>Solve for b₁
</em>
a = ½(b₁ + b₂)h Multiply each side by 2
2a = (b₁ + b₂)h Remove parentheses
2a = b₁h + b₂h Subtract b₂h from each side
2a - b₂h = b₁h Divide each side by h
b₁ = (2a – b₂h)/h Remove parentheses
b₁ = (2a)/h – b₂
B. <em>Solve for h
</em>
2a = (b₁ + b₂)h Divide each side by (b₁ + b₂)
h = (2a)/(b₁ + b₂)
Answer:
x=0.333
Step-by-step explanation:
12(3x)=12
36x=12
/36 on both sides
x=0.333
It should be 12 ft away from the wall. Not 4 ft. You do not just subtract the difference because as you pull it away from the wall, the ladder is mostly moving horizontally with only a small vertical change.
You can use Pythagorean Theorem to find the answer. Think of the ladder as the hypotenuse of a right triangle with the wall and the ground as the legs.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
16^2 + b^2 = 20^2
b^2 = 20^2 - 16^2
b^2 = 144
b = 12 ft
There are 6 other positions in the string, each with 26 choices. So if you fix BO as the first two letters, there are
possible strings that you can make.
If BO is at the end of the string, you still have
possible strings.
Together, then, you have
possible strings.
