Answer:

9.1 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t represent time taken to fill the tank.

We have been given that a cold water faucet can fill a sink in 12 ​min, so the part of sink filed in 1 minute would be \frac{1}{12}.

The hot-water faucet can fill it in 15 min, so the part of sink filed in 1 minute would be \frac{1}{15}.

The drain can empty the sink in 25 min, so the part of drain emptied in 1 minute would be \frac{1}{25}.

The part of 1 full tank filled in t minutes, when both faucets are on and the drain is​ open would be:

(\frac{1}{12}+\frac{1}{15}-\frac{1}{25})t=1

Make a common denominator:

(\frac{1*25}{12*25}+\frac{1*20}{15*20}-\frac{1*12}{25*12})t=1

(\frac{25}{300}+\frac{20}{300}-\frac{12}{300})t=1

(\frac{25+20-12}{300})t=1

\frac{33}{300}t=1

\frac{11}{100}t=1

\frac{100}{11}\times \frac{11}{100}t=\frac{100}{11}\times1

t=\frac{100}{11}

t=9.0909

t\approx 9.1

Therefore, it will take 9.1 minutes to fill the sink.

Answer:

$47,520

Step-by-step explanation:

A.

the area of a polygon is/

A= perimeter X apothem /2

A=500

apothem = 10

500 = (P * 10)/2

P =100

B. 100*7.95 = $795

C.

60*100= 6,000

6,000 * $7.95=

Guys please answer this question best one with explanation will get brainiest and 5 start compete yourself with other
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

{( \sin(a)  +  \cos(a) )}^{2}  +  \\ {( \sin(a)   - \cos(a) )}^{2}  \\  {(a + b})^{2}  =  {a}^{2}  + 2ab +  {b}^{2}  \\  {(a  - b})^{2}  =  {a}^{2}   - 2ab +  {b}^{2}

{(\sin(a)+ \cos(b)})^{2}  =  \\{\sin(a)}^{2}  + 2\sin(a)\cos(b)\\ +  {\cos(b)}^{2}  \\  {(\sin(a) - \cos(b)})^{2}  =  \\{\sin(a)}^{2}   - 2\sin(a)\cos(b) +  {\cos(b)}^{2}

2\sin(a)\cos(b) cancel :\ out\\

=2{\sin}^{2}(a) +2{\cos}^{2}(a)
