That's easy 172.1 times 10 with the exponent of 7
.
This is one of the special right triangles known as a 30, 60, 90 triangle. (Characterized by its angles)
In these triangles, the shortest leg is HALF the length of the hypotenuse.
The longest leg is (√3) times the length of the short leg.
Therefore, the shortest leg is 20, and the longest leg is 20(√3)
FINAL ANSWER:
SHORT LEG: 20 units
LONG LEG: 20√3 units
Answer:
0.44ft/hr
Step-by-step explanation:
Given parameters:
Quantity of rainfall = 8inches
1ft = 12inches
so;
= 0.67ft
Time =
hr
Unknown:
Rate of rainfall expressed in ft/hr = ?
Solution:
The rate of the rainfall is given as;
Rate =
Rate =
= 0.44ft/hr
279.93 ≈ 280 seconds or 4 minutes 40 seconds
