TRiangles ABE and ACD are similar because BE and CD are parallel.

Therefore CD / BE = AD / AE

8 / BE = 16 / 10

BE = 8*10 / 16 = 5

Also, 16 / 10 = AC / AB = 20 / AB

AB = 10 * 20 / 16 = 12,5

Perimeter of ABE = 5 + 10 + 12.5

= 27.5 units (answer)

Given the amount of water needed to fill the cement dam and the water pump rate, the time needed to fill the dam is 400 minutes or 6hours 40minutes.

Option B)6h 40min is the correct answer.

Given that;

Amount of water needed to fill the dam A = 30000 litres
Pump rate r = 75 litres per minute
Time needed to fill the dam T = ?

To determine how long it take to fill the dam, we say;

Time need = Amount of water needed ÷ Pump rate

T = A ÷ r

T = 30000 litres ÷ 75 litres/minute

T = 400 minutes

Note that; 60min = 1hrs

Hence,

T = 6hours 40minutes

Given the amount of water needed to fill the cement dam and the water pump rate, the time needed to fill the dam is 400 minutes or 6hours 40minutes.

Option B)6h 40min is the correct answer.
