Answer:
r = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
To get the value of r we will use the pythagoras theorem a shown;
PR² = QR² + PQ²
(4+r)² = 8² + r²
Expand
16+8r+r² = 64 + r²
16 + 8r = 64
8r = 64 - 16
8r = 48
r = 48/8
r = 6
Hence the value of r is 6
Question 1)
Volume of Tank A = Sum of volume of its two parts.
So,
Volume of Tank A = 24 + 96 = 120 cubic feet
Question 2)
Volume of Tank B and Tank A is the same. So, Volume of Tank B = 120 cubic feet
One section of Tank B = 45 cubic feet
So, volume of other section of tank B = 120 - 45 = 75 cubic feet
If you rounded it it would be 4.6
