In the old aquarium, 3 tablespoons of salt were used for 20 gallons. That's a conversion ratio of

That is, for every gallon of water in the aquarium, there was 0.15 tbsp of salt. So a 50 gallon aquarium, Ill should add

to maintain the salinity.
3 1/2= 3.5 inches and 4 2/3 feet is 56 inches. Now put 3.5/56=0.0625
Answer:
x =
Step-by-step explanation:
If both the triangles ΔABC and ΔBCD are congruent,
Corresponding sides of both the triangles will be proportional.


5x(4x + 3) = (5x - 2)(3x + 10)
20x² + 15x = 15x² + 50x - 6x - 20
20x² + 15x = 15x² + 44x - 20
20x² - 15x² = 44x - 15x - 20
5x² = 29x - 20
5x² - 29x + 20 = 0
5x² - 25x - 4x + 20 = 0
5x(x - 5) - 4(x - 5) = 0
(5x - 4)(x - 5) = 0

Drawing a diagram of a triangle may be helpful. The hypotenuse is irrelevant, but the vertical leg and the horizontal leg are useful. Since we know the engineer is looking up at a 45 degree angle from a distance of 200 feet, we can label the vertical leg the "opposite", since it is on the opposite side of the angle we are given. The horizontal leg then becomes the "adjacent". You can then use trigonometry to solve for the opposite.
The options are:
sin(theta)= opposite/hypotenuse
cos(theta)= adjacent/hypotenuse
tan(theta)= opposite/adjacent
Since we don't care about the hypotenuse, the last equation is the one to use. The angle we are given can be substituted in for theta:
tan(45)= x/200
1.61977519= x/200
x= 323.955038 feet
