Answer:

3600 gallons of water was removed from the basement.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Rate of each pump = 40 gallons/min

We need to find find the number of gallons of water removed from the basement.

Solution:

Now Given:

After half an hour, the one pump burns out.

Now we know that;

1 hour = 60 mins

\frac12 hour = \frac{60}{2}=30\ mins

Now for 30 mins both the pumps were working and removing the water.

So we can say that;

Water remove for first 30 mins = 40\times2\times30=2400\ gallons

Also Given:

the second pump finishes removing the water half an hour later.

So we can say that;

Water removed for next 30 mins = 40\times 30\times1 =1200\ gallons

Now we can say that;

Total water removed from the basement is equal to sum of Water remove for first 30 mins and Water removed for next 30 mins .

framing in equation form we get;

Total water removed from the basement = 2400+1200=3600\ gallons.

Hence 3600 gallons of water was removed from the basement.

Answer:

In order of the paragraph:

3, isosceles, greater, 3 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The first drop box has to be 3 because if you add up two sides of a triangle, the sum has to be greater than the third side. If two sides are equal, the triangle is isosceles. The third side cannot be 1 since 1+1 is not greater than 3. So the third side must measure 3in.

For the rotation - 660°, find the coterminal angle from 0° < 0 < 360°, thequadrant and the reference angle.
guajiro [1.7K]

Given the angle:

-660°

Let's find the coterminal angle from 0≤θ≤360.

To find the coterminal angle, in the interval given, let's keep adding 360 degrees to the angle until we get the angle in the interval,

We have:

Coterminal angle = -660 + 360 = -300 + 360 = 60°

Therefore, the coterminal angle is 60°.

Since 60 degrees is between 0 to 90 degrees, is is quadrant I.

60 degrees lie in Quadrant I.

Also since it is in quadrant I, the reference angle is still 60 degrees.

ANSWER:

The coterminal angle is 60°, which lies in quadrant I, with a reference angle of 60°
