(8/4) = (10/x)
8x = 4 x 10
8x= 40
x = 40/8
x=5
It will take 5 hours.

4 and a half hours because 8 lawns took 4 hours, if you divide 4 by 8 then you get .5 so add up the two to get 4.5 hours.

If a fire is burning a building and it takes 2 hours to put it out using 2000 gal./min., what minimum diameter cylindrical tank

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

The minimum diameter of the cylindrical tank needed to store the quantity needed to put out the fire is approximately 58.415 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

A gallon equals 0.134 cubic feet. First, we determine the amount of water ( $Q$ ), measured in cubic feet, needed to put out the fire under the assumption that water is consumed at constant rate:

$Q = \dot Q \cdot \Delta t$ (1)

Where:

$\dot Q$ - Volume rate, measured in feet per minute.

$\Delta t$ - Time, measured in minutes.

If we know that $\dot Q = 2000\,\frac{gal}{min}$ and $\Delta t = 120\,min$ , then the amount of water is:

$Q = \left(2000\,\frac{gal}{min} \right)\cdot (120\,min) \cdot \left(0.134\,\frac{ft^{3}}{gal} \right)$

$Q = 32160\,ft^{3}$

And the diameter of the cylindrical tank based on the capacity found above is determined by volume formula for a cylinder:

$Q = \frac{\pi}{4}\cdot D^{2}\cdot h$ (2)

Where:

$D$ - Diameter, measured in feet.

$h$ - Height, measured in feet.

If we know that $Q = 32160\,ft^{3}$ and $h = 12\,ft$ , then the minimum diameter is:

$D^{2} = \frac{4\cdot Q}{\pi\cdot h}$

$D = 2\cdot \sqrt{\frac{Q}{\pi\cdot h} }$

$D = 2\cdot \sqrt{\frac{32160\,ft^{3}}{\pi\cdot (12\,ft)} }$

$D \approx 58.415\,ft$

The minimum diameter of the cylindrical tank needed to store the quantity needed to put out the fire is approximately 58.415 feet.

For the figures below, assume they are made of semicircles, quarter circles and squares. For each shape, find the area and perim

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Part a) The area of the figure is $\frac{9}{2}(4+\pi )\ cm^{2}$

Part b) The perimeter of the figure is $3(2+2\sqrt{2}+ \pi)\ cm$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Find the area of the figure

In this problem we have that

The figure ABC is the half of a square and the other figure is a semicircle

<u>Find the area of the figure ABC</u>

we have

$AB=6\ cm, BC=6\ cm$

The area of the half square ABC is equal to find the area of triangle ABC

so

$A1=\frac{1}{2}*6*6=18\ cm^{2}$

<u>Find the area of the semicircle</u>

The area of the semicircle is equal to

$A2=\pi r^{2}/2$

we have that

$r=6/2=3\ cm$

substitute

$A2=\pi (3)^{2}/2$

$A2=(9/2) \pi\ cm^{2}$

The area of the figure is equal to

$18\ cm^{2}+(9/2) \pi\ cm^{2}= \frac{9}{2}(4+\pi )\ cm^{2}$

Step 2

Find the perimeter of the figure

The perimeter of the figure is equal to

$P=AB+AC+length\ CB$

we have

$AB=6\ cm$

Applying Pythagoras theorem

$AC=\sqrt{6^{2}+6^{2}}\\AC=6\sqrt{2}\ cm$

Remember that

the circumference of a semicircle is equal to

$C=\frac{1}{2}2\pi r=\pi r$

$r=6/2=3\ cm$

$C=\pi(3)$

$C=3 \pi\ cm$

The perimeter of the figure is equal to

$P=6\ cm+6\sqrt{2}\ cm+3 \pi\ cm$

Simplify

$P=3(2+2\sqrt{2}+ \pi)\ cm$
