The large hose fills 1 pool in 9 hours written as  1/9

The small hose fills 1 pool in 18 hours, written as 1/18


Now you have 1/9 + 1/18 = 1/x ( x is the unknown time for both hoses).

rewrite 1/9 with a common denominator as 1/18:

1/9 = 2/18


Now you have 2/18 + 1/18 = 1/x

Add the left side:

2/18 + 1/18 = 3/18


Now you have 3/18 = 1/x

Cross Multiply:

3x = 18

Divide both sides by 3"

x = 18/3

X = 6


It will take both hoses 6 hours.

What is the explicit formula
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

a(n) = 13 - 2n

Step-by-step explanation:

The explicit formula variables are a(n) = a(1) + d (n - 1). The a(1) is your number you started out with, and the d is the common difference. From the recursive formula example, you see that your first number is 11 and your difference is -2.

1. Plug the numbers into the equation : a(n) = 11 - 2 (n - 1)

2. Distribute: a(n) = 11 - 2n + 2

3. Add like terms: a(n) = 13 - 2n

If you want to double check, you can plug 1 into n and see if you get 11. I did this, and I did so it should be correct. Hope this made sense! Have a great day :)

Solve the right triangle. 34.5 Find the length of the side opposite to the given angle. (Round your answer to two decimal places
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

a) 388.03

b) 148.49

c) π/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the diagram attached

Let the opposite side be y

Given

a) Hypotenuse = 420

theta = 3π/8 rad

theta = 3(180)/8

theta = 67.5degrees

Using the SOH CAH TOA identity

sin theta = opposite/hypotenuse

sin 67.5 = y/420

x = 420sin67.5

x = 420(0.9238)

x = 388.03

Hence the length of the side opposite to the given angle is 388.03

b) Hypotenuse = 420

theta = 3π/8 rad

theta = 3(180)/8

theta = 67.5degrees

Using the SOH CAH TOA identity

cos theta = adjacent/hypotenuse

cos 67.5 = x/420

x = 420cos67.5

x = 420(0.3827)

x = 148.49

Hence the length of the side adjacent to the given angle is 148.49

c) The sum of angle in the triangle is π

Let the measure of the unknown angle be z

z + 3π/8 + π/2 = π

z + 3π+4π/8 = π

z + 7π/8 = π

z = π - 7π/8

z = (8π-7π)/8

z = π/8

Hence the measure of the other acute angle is π/8

If the legs of a right angle are 3 feet and 4 feet, the length of the hypotenuse is how many feet
damaskus [11]
Hi there!

• Base, b = 3 ft
• Perpendicular, p = 4 ft.

According t' Pythagoras theorem :-

h = \sqrt {b^2 + p^2}

h = \sqrt {3^2 + 4^2}

h = \sqrt {9 + 16}

h = \sqrt {25} = 5 ft.

Hence,
Th required length of Hypotenuse, h = 5 ft.

~ Hope it helps!
