Answer:

24 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question shows up in a great many places in math or physics, so it is a pretty good question to learn how to do.

First you should note that answer will be under 40 minutes.

1/40 + 1/60 = 1/TimeTotal

The common denominator on the left is 120 minutes

3/40*3 + 2/60*2 = 1/timetotal

3/120 + 2/120 = 1/ timetotal

5/120 = 1/time total Now to use to the key stop

What you do now is you always turn the left side over. You do the same thing to total time.

120/5 = total time

24 = total time

What this means is that if you let both pipes run for 24 minutes, they will fill the tank working together.

Yo sup??

we can solve this question by applying trigonometric ratios

cos59=CB/CD

CD=CB/cos59

=7.8

Hope this helps.

Please simplify the following equation and show how:<br> (2x+2)^3

Natasha_Volkova [10]

You can use (a+b)2 = a2+2ab+b2.
(2x - 3)2 = (2x)2 + 2(2x)(-3) + (-3)2 = 4x2 - 12x + 9

Or you can use FOIL.

(2x - 3)2 = (2x - 3)(2x - 3) = (2x)2 + (2x)(-3) + (-3)(2x) + (-3)2 = 4x2 - 12x + 9

hope I could be helpful

Suppose that 35 people are divided in a random manner into two teams in such a way that one team contains 10 people and the othe

Effectus [21]

Answer:

0.5798 or 57.98%

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of ways to form the two teams is the combination of choosing 10 people out of 35 (₃₅C₁₀). The number of possibilities that A and B are both on the 10-people team is given by the combination of choosing 8 people (since two are fixed) out of 33 (₃₃C₈).The number of possibilities that A and B are both on the 25-people team is given by the combination of choosing 10 people out of 33 (₃₃C₈).

Therefore, the probability that two particular people A and B will be on the same team is:

$P = \frac{_{33}C_8+_{33}C_{10}}{_{35}C_{10}} \\\\P=\frac{\frac{33!}{(33-8)!8!}+\frac{33!}{(33-10)!10!} }{\frac{35!}{(35-10)!10!}} \\\\P=\frac{69}{119} = 0.5798$

The probability is 0.5798 or 57.98%.

Anyone know how to do this

Anton [14]

let

(hypotenuse ) c = 10 in

(perpendicular) a = 8 in

(base) b =?

By using Pythagoras theorem

c^2= a^2+b^2

(10)^2 = (8)^2 +(b)^2

100 = 64 +(b)^2

100- 64 = (b)^2

36 = (b)^2

√36 = b

6 = b

hence b= 6 in
