a whisper volume as a room that allows two people to stand on opposite side of the template luckily shape long and hear each oth

er's Whispers. The locations at which they can hear one another are the foci of the ellipse. If the room has a major axis 122 ft and a minor axis of 22 ft, how far apart, in feet, are the two people?​

Answer:  120 ft

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The Ellipse equation is:   \dfrac{(x-h)^2}{a^2}-\dfrac{(y-k)^2}{b^2}=1       where

  • (h, k) is the center
  • "a" is the horizontal radius
  • "b" is the vertical radius
  • c is the distance from the center to the foci: |a² - b²| = c²

Given: horizontal diameter = 122  →  horizontal radius = 61 = a

          vertical diameter = 22  →  vertical radius = 11 = b

Foci (c):   61² - 11² = c²

            3721 - 121 = c²

                  3600 = c²

                    ±60 = c

Let (h, k) = (0, 0)

Then the foci are located at -60 and +60.

The distance between them is 60 + 60 = 120

The city council plans to build a new water storage tank for the community. The tank is cylindrical with a base diameter of 25 f
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

a. 14726.216ft^{3}

b. 110446.62gal

Step-by-step explanation:

I attach the diagram of the new water tank.

a. In order to find the volume of the tank in cubic feet, we will need to calculate the volume of a cylinder. We know that its base measures 25ft and its height is 30ft.

The volume ''V'' of a cylinder is :

V=(\frac{\pi D^{2}}{4}).(H)

Where ''D'' is the diameter of the base and ''H'' is the height of the cylinder.

If we replace all the data in the equation :

V=\frac{\pi .(25ft)^{2}}{4}.(30ft)=14726.216ft^{3}

We found out that the volume of the tank in cubic feet is 14726.216ft^{3}

b. We know that 1 cubic foot of water is equal to 7.5 gallons. To find the amount of gallons that the new tank can hold, we need to do an unit conversion.

This equivalence is given to us :

1ft^{3}=7.5gal ⇒ Using the equivalence ⇒

(14726.216ft^{3}).(\frac{7.5gal}{1ft^{3}})=110446.62gal

Finally, the new tank will hold 110446.62gal of water.

Ben is 12 years older than Ishaan. Ben and Ishaan first met two years ago. Three years ago, Ben was 4 times as old as Ishaan.
Nitella [24]
Let x be the age of ishaan so the age of ben will be 12+x. the equation will become x=x+12
Going 3 years back, the age of ishaan was x-3 so that of ben would be x+12-3 before 3 years. at that time the age of ben was 4 times the age of ishaan. it means x+12-3(the age of ben)=4(x-3(the age of ishaan))
solving this equation, we get the answer x=7. this is the age of ishaan in the present.
