The first tank contains

486 gal - (4 gal/week) <em>t</em>

gal of water after <em>t</em> weeks.

Similarly, the second tank contains

648 gal - (7 gal/week) <em>t</em>

gal of water.

The tanks hold the same amount of water when these two amounts are equal:

486 gal - (4 gal/week) <em>t</em> = 648 gal - (7 gal/week) <em>t</em>

(7 gal/week) <em>t</em> - (4 gal/week) <em>t</em> = 648 gal - 486 gal

(3 gal/week) <em>t</em> = 162 gal

<em>t</em> = (162 gal) / (3 gal/week)

<em>t</em> = 54 weeks

suppose the distnace in feet that an object travels t seconds is given by the formula d=64t^2 how far would the object travel af
Darya [45]

Answer:

The object travels 144,000,000 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance the object travel after t seconds is given by:

d(t) = 64t^2

How far would the object travel after 1.5 * 10^3 seconds

This is d when t = 1.5 \times 10^3 = 1500, so d(1500)

d(1500) = 64*1500^2 = 144000000

The object travels 144,000,000 feet.

We know the area of the middle rectangle is 48 (length * width). removing that rectangle leaves us with two semicircles. you can combine those semicircles to be the equivalent of one circle. the area for a circle is r^2 * pi. we know the diameter is 4 because that is where we cut the semicircles. radius is half the diameter, so r is 2. 2^2 is 4, 4* pi is 12.56. add 12.56 (area of semicircles) with 48 (area of rectangle) and we get 60.56

Find the area of the polygon.
zalisa [80]

Answer:

A=128\ cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of the polygon is equal to the area of a square plus the area of four congruent triangles

so

A=b^2+4[\frac{1}{2}(b)(h)]

where

b=8\ cm\\h=4\ cm

substitute

A=8^2+4[\frac{1}{2}(8)(4)]

A=64+64=128\ cm^2
