Answer:

10.5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please consider the complete question.

Working together, two pumps can drain a certain pool in  6  hours. If it takes the older pump  14  hours to drain the pool by itself, how long will it take the newer pump to drain the pool on its own?

Let t represent time taken by newer pump in hours to drain the pool on its own.

So part of pool drained by newer pump in one hour would be \frac{1}{t}.

We have been given that it takes the older pump 14 hours to drain the pool by itself, so part of pool drained by older pump in one hour would be \frac{1}{14}.

Part of pool drained by both pumps working together in one hour would be \frac{1}{6}.

Now, we will equate the sum of part of pool emptied by both pumps with  \frac{1}{6} and solve for t as:

\frac{1}{14}+\frac{1}{t}=\frac{1}{6}

\frac{1}{14}\times 42t+\frac{1}{t}\times 42t=\frac{1}{6}\times 42t

3t+42=7t

7t=3t+42

7t-3t=3t-3t+42

4t=42

\frac{4t}{4}=\frac{42}{4}

t=10.5

Therefore, it will take 10.5 hours for the newer pump to drain the pool on its own.

Help asap please!!!!!!​
Andrews [41]

Step-by-step explanation:

[(-3 × 2 × (-4)] ÷ [-6 × 12]

[3 × 2 × -4] ÷ [-6 × 12]

[6 × -4]/[-6 × 12]

-4/(-1 × 12]

-4/-12

⅓

Option A is wrong

Option B is wrong -9/-18 = ½ not ⅓

Option C is correct = -24/-72 = ⅓

Option D is wrong = 9/-18 = -½ not ⅓

Given:
diamong [38]

Answer:

10-5\sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the attached figure, right angled \triangle MDL has an inscribed circle whose center is I.

We have joined the incenter I to the vertices of the \triangle MDL.

Sides MD and DL are equal because we are given that \angle M = \angle L = 45 ^\circ.

Formula for <em>area</em> of a \triangle = \dfrac{1}{2} \times base \times height

As per the figure attached, we are given that side <em>a = 10.</em>

Using pythagoras theorem, we can easily calculate that side ML = 10\sqrt{2}

Points P,Q and R are at 90 ^\circ on the sides ML, MD and DL respectively so IQ, IR and IP are heights of  \triangleMIL, \triangleMID and \triangleDIL.

Also,

\text {Area of } \triangle MDL = \text {Area of } \triangle MIL +\text {Area of } \triangle MID+ \text {Area of } \triangle DIL

\dfrac{1}{2} \times 10 \times 10 = \dfrac{1}{2} \times r \times 10 + \dfrac{1}{2} \times r \times 10 + \dfrac{1}{2} \times r \times 10\sqrt2\\\Rightarrow r = \dfrac {10}{2+\sqrt2} \\\Rightarrow r = \dfrac{5\sqrt2}{\sqrt2+1}\\\text{Multiplying and divinding by }(\sqrt2 +1)\\\Rightarrow r = 10-5\sqrt2

So, radius of circle = 10-5\sqrt2
