Answer: it will take 9 hours to empty the pool.

Step-by-step explanation:

The pool is shaped like a rectangular prism with length 30 feet, wide 18 ft, and depth 4ft. It means that when the pool is full, its volume is

30 × 18 × 4 = 2160 ft³

If water is pumped out of the pool at a rate of 216ft3 per hour, then the rate at which the water in the pool is decreasing is in arithmetic progression. The formula for determining the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is expressed as

Tn = a + d(n - 1)

Where

a represents the first term of the sequence(initial amount of water in the pool when completely full).

d represents the common difference(rate at which it is being pumped out)

n represents the number of terms(hours) in the sequence.

From the information given,

a = 2160 degrees

d = - 216 ft3

Tn = 0(the final volume would be zero)

We want to determine the number of terms(hours) for which Tn would be zero. Therefore,

0 = 2160 - 216 (n - 1)

2160 = 216(n - 1) = 216n + 216

216n = 2160 - 216

216n = 1944

n = 1944/216

n = 9

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

B. Square root

Step-by-step explanation:

using distance formula:

x = √z^2 - y^2

y = √z^2 - x^2

=> z = √x^2 + y^2

Determine the length of the longest metal rod which could be stored in a rectangle box 20 cm by 50 cm by 30 cm.
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

61.64 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The longest metal rod which could be stored in a rectangular box will be equal to its diagonal:

\therefore \: length \: of \:metal \: rod  \\  =  \sqrt{ {l}^{2} +  {b}^{2}   +  {h}^{2} }  \\  =  \sqrt{ {20}^{2} +  {50}^{2}  +  {30}^{2}  }  \\  =  \sqrt{400 + 2500 + 900}  \\  =  \sqrt{3800}  \\  = 61.64414 \\  = 61.64 \: cm

What is 1/6x=4 in solving equations with rational coefficients
Debora [2.8K]
To solve an equation with a rational (fraction) coefficient you need to multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal (invert the fraction - flip it).

\frac{1}{6}x =4 The reciprocal of 1/6 is 6/1 or 6
6( \frac{1}{6} x)= 6(4)  The product of reciprocals equals 1 
1x = 24
x = 24
