Notice the tickmark on the angles, those angles are equal to each other.

now, notice the angle at the very top, the large triangle is really sharing it with smaller-inscribed triangle, and therefore is equal on both triangles.

therefore, the larger triangle, is similar with smaller-inscribed triangle by AA.

what the dickens does that mean?

\bf \cfrac{large}{small}\qquad \cfrac{4+5}{4}=\cfrac{5+x}{5}\implies \cfrac{9}{4}=\cfrac{5+x}{5}\implies 45=20+4x
\\\\\\
25=4x\implies \cfrac{25}{4}=x\implies 6\frac{1}{4}=x

A public swimming pool that holds 45,000 gallons of water is going to be drained for maintenance at a rate of 100 gallons per mi
crimeas [40]

Answer:

450 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

w = 45000 - 100t

Required

Determine how long it'll take to empty the pool

Being empty means there's no water in the pool.

So, we have to set w to 0 to get the value of t

i.e w = 0

Substitute 0 for w in w = 45000 - 100t

0 = 45000 - 100t

Collect Like Terms

100t = 45000

Divide through by 100.

t = 450

Hence, it'll take 450 minutes to empty the pool
