the answer is 453.592
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
ai) 73000 gal/yr
aii) $730 per year
b) 1000 days
Step-by-step explanation:
ai) The water usage per day is ...
(4 showers/day)(10 min/shower)(5 gal/min) = 200 gal/day
Then the usage per year is ...
(200 gal/day)(365 days/yr) = 73,000 gal/yr
__
aii) The cost of electricity is the cost of heating half the water usage, so is ...
(0.20 kWh/gal)(1/2)(73,000 gal/yr)($0.10/kWh) = $730/yr
__
b) The current daily cost of electricity for heating water is ...
($730/yr)/(365 days/yr) = $2/day
If the cost is cut in half, it will be $1 per day. That means the savings is $1 per day, so it will take 1000 days to recover the $1000 initial cost. (Effectively, the average cost for the first 1000 days is the same as if the water heater had not been replaced.)
Answer: 5.83 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Sketching the data above,
Length of segment AD can be computed using Pythagoras rule ;
Where segment AD = hypotenuse
Segment AB = 3 = opposite
Sin Θ = opposite / hypotenuse
Sin 31° = 3 / hypotenuse
Hypotenuse × 0.5150380 = 3
Hypotenuse = 3 / 0.5150380
Hypotenuse = 5.8248120 units
Hypotenuse = 5.83 units
