Answer:

20/7 days (just less than 3 days)

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that (1 job) = (rate)(time), so time = (1 job) / (rate).

Set up and solve the following equation:

  1 job

------------------------------- = time required for 2 pumps working together

1 job         1 job

---------- + -------------

4 days      10 days

This comes out to:

              1 job

------------------------------------------- = time required

10 job-days      4 job-days

------------------ + -----------------

   40 days           40 days

or:

    1 job

-------------------- = (40/14) days, or 20/7 days (just less than 3 days)

14 job·days

-----------------

   40 days

Find the value of x.
Alik [6]

Answer:

x =15

Step-by-step explanation:

In \odot D, AB and AC are chords which are equidistant from the center of the circle.

\therefore Chord \: AB \cong Chord\: AC

\therefore m \widehat {AB} = m\widehat {AC}

(Equal chords intercept equal arcs)

\because m \widehat {AB} = (10x-23)\degree

\therefore m \widehat {AC} = (10x-23)\degree

m \widehat {AB} +m \widehat {AC} +106\degree = 360\degree

(Arc sum postulate of a circle)

(10x-23)\degree + (10x-23)\degree= 360\degree- 106\degree

2(10x-23)\degree = 254\degree

(10x-23)\degree = 127\degree

10x-23 = 127

10x = 127+23

10x = 150

x = \frac {150}{10}

x =15

Will a truck that is 10 feet wide carrying a load that reaches 12 feet above the ground clear the semielliptical arch on the one
beks73 [17]

Figure is missing, so i have attached it.

Answer:

it will clear the arch because the height of the archway of the bridge 5 feet from the center is approximately 12.76 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of equation of an ellipse is;

x²/a² + y²/b² = 1

From the figure in the image attached, we can see that the radius is; a = 52/2 = 26 ft

While the value of b = 13 ft

Thus;

x²/26² + y²/13² = 1

x²/676 + y²/169 = 1

We want to find the height of the archway of the bridge 5 feet from the center.

Thus, we will plug in 5 for x to get;

5²/676 + y²/169 = 1

(25/676) + (y²/169) = 1

Multiply through by 676 to get;

25 + 4y² = 676

4y² = 676 - 25

y² = 651/4

y² = 162.75

y = 12.76 ft

Thus height of the truck is 12 ft and so it will clear the arch because the height of the archway of the bridge 5 feet from the center is approximately 12.76 ft
