Answer:

<em>30 min</em>

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The tank can be filled in 15 min, this means that in one min, 1/15 of the tank can be filled.

The tank can be emptied in 10 min, this means that in one min, 1/10 of the tank can be emptied.

the outflow rate - the inflow rate = rate of emptying the tank

1/10 - 1/15 = 1/x

where x is the time it will take to empty the tank

solving, we'll have

1/30 = 1/x

the reciprocal of the equation gives

x = <em>30 min</em>

In a right triangle STR, angle T and R are complementary angles. The value of cos(T) is 9/41. What is the value of sin(R)?
alex41 [277]

Answer: C) 9/41

Step-by-step explanation: From the description, angle S is the right angle. Which means that angles T and R are complementary (they sum to 90 degrees). Because they are complementary, this means the cosine of one angle is equal to the sine of the other angle. If cos(T) is 9/41, then so is sin(R).
