Answer:

                 time=40/3hours\approx 13.3hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The rates are additive: you can calculate the<em> inlet </em>rate and the <em>outlet</em> rate and add them algebraically, i.e. the inlet rate will be positive and the outlet rate will be negative.

<u>1. Inlet rate:</u>

1vat/5hours

<u />

<u>2. Outlet rate:</u>

1vat/8hours

<u>3. Net rate:</u>

            \text{Inlet rate - outlet rate}=1vat/5hours-1vat/8hours\\\\ \text{Net rate}=(8-5)vat/40hour=3vat/40hour=(3/40)vat/hour

<u>4. Time to fill the vat</u>

           rate=amount/time\implies time=amount/rate\\ \\ time=1vat/(3vat/40hour)

          time=40/3hours\approx 13.3hours

Answer:

PQ=30

Step-by-step explanation:

Knowing that the segment has 3 parts that are 3:1:1 and sum up to 50, you could find how much 1 would equal by finding the total in relation to the ratio (doing 3+1+1) which gets you 5 parts. Then you can divide the total (50) by 5 to figure out how much one part would equal (10). Now, since you know that 1 part is equal to 10 and that PQ is 3 parts, you can find that PQ is equal to 3x10, or 30.

Can somebody please help me out:))

Answer:

50ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi,

Considering that one side is equal to 38 degrees, we know this isn't a 30 - 60 - 90 triangle.

One of the legs is equal to 40 feet

So, tan(b) = 40/x

tan(38 degrees) is 0.78 round up to 0.8 (if that's what your teacher wants)

0.8 = 40/x

0.8x = 40

x = 50ft

I hope this helps

What is the sum of the interior angles of a nonagon?
SSSSS [86.1K]
To find the sum of the interior angles of a nonagon, divide it up into triangles... There are seven triangles... Because the sum of the angles of each triangle is 180 degrees... We get

7 * 180 = 1260°

So, the sum of the interior angles of a nonagon is 1260 degrees.
