A trough of water is 20 meters in length and its ends are in the shape of an isosceles triangle whose width is 7 meters and heig

ht is 10 meters. Assume that the two equal length sides of the triangle are the sides of the water tank and the other side of the triangle is the top of the tank and is parallel to the ground. Water is being pumped into the tank at a rate of 2 m3/min. When the water is 6 meters deep at what rate is (a) depth changing and (b) the width of the top of the water changing? Note the sketch below is not to scale…

Answer:

a) Depth changing rate of change is 0.24m/min, When the water is 6 meters deep

b) The width of the top of the water is changing at a rate of 0.17m/min, When the water is 6 meters deep

Step-by-step explanation:

As we can see in the attachment part II, there are similar triangles, so we have the following relation between them \frac{3.5}{10} =\frac{a}{h}, then a=0.35h.

a) As we have that volume is V=\frac{1}{2} 2ahL=ahL, then V=(0.35h^{2})L, so we can derivate it \frac{dV}{dt}=2(0.35h)L\frac{dh}{dt} due to the chain rule, then we clean this expression for \frac{dh}{dt}=\frac{1}{0.7hL}\frac{dV}{dt} and compute with the knowns \frac{dh}{dt}=\frac{1}{0.7(6m)(20m)}2m^{3}/min=0.24m/min, is the depth changing rate of change when the water is 6 meters deep.

b) As the width of the top is 2a=0.7h, we can derivate it and obtain \frac{da}{dt}=0.7\frac{dh}{dt}  =0.7*0.24m/min=0.17m/min The width of the top of the water is changing, When the water is 6 meters deep at this rate

The ratio of Mike buying fish to Millie buying fish was 8 to 2. If in total they bought 150 pounds of fish. How many pounds did
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer: Mike bought 120 pounds of fish and Millie bought 30 pounds  of fish.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the ratio is 8 to 2 then  8/10 will be the probability of Mike buying fist and 2/10 will be the probability of Millie buying fish.

Now multiply each fraction by the total number of pounds to find how many pounds each bought.

8/10 * 150 = 1200/10 = 120

2/10 * 150 = 300/10 = 30  

In this case, Mike bought 120 pounds of fish and Millie bought 30 pounds  of fish.
