It takes 107.692 minutes approximately to fill the pond

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that inlet pipe can fill an artificial pond in 70 min

So the inlet pipe can fill \frac{1}{70} of the pond in 1 min

An outlet pipe can empty the same pond in 200 min

So the outlet pipe can empty \frac{-1}{200} of pond in 1 min

Here negative sign denotes "empties the pond"

To find: With both pipe open, time taken to fill the pond

Let "x" be the time taken by pipes to fill the pond

With both pipes are left on, so together their rate is:

\frac{1}{x} = \frac{1}{70} - \frac{1}{200}

On solving,

\frac{1}{x} = \frac{200 - 70}{14000}\\\\\frac{1}{x} = \frac{130}{14000}\\\\x = \frac{14000}{130} = 107.692

Thus it takes 107.692 minutes approximately to fill the pond

What two-dimensional figure will result from slicing this rectangular pyramid parallel to the base?
andreev551 [17]

Answer: The answer is D. Trapezoid.    


Step-by-step explanation:  As shown in the attached figure, a rectangular pyramid  ABCDE is drawn. We are slicing this rectangular pyramid parallel to the base BCDE at the points F, G, H and I.

We can clearly see from the figure that upper half of the sliced figure will be similar to the pyramid BCDE and the lower sliced figure will be a trapezoid. These are the three-dimensional figures.

Also, the sliced two-dimensional figure FGHI will be a rectangle, because

the pyramid is a rectangular one and so,  FI=GH, FG=HI and all the angles are right angles.

Thus, the resulting two-dimensional figure will be a rectagle.
