Answer: it will take 9 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
The rain is falling at the rate of 1.5 inches per hour. This means that the height of water in the barrel is increasing in arithmetic progression. 
The formula for determining the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is expressed as
Tn = a + d(n - 1)
Where 
a represents the first term of the sequence.
d represents the common difference.
n represents the number of terms in the sequence.
From the information given,
a = 18 inches
d = 1.5 inches
The expression becomes
Tn = 18 + 1.5(n - 1)
For the number of hours it would take to collect 30 inches of rain in the barrel, Tn = 30
Therefore,
30 = 18 + 1.5(n - 1)
1.5(n - 1) = 30 - 18
1.5(n - 1) = 12
n - 1 = 12/1.5 = 8
n = 8 + 1
n = 9

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
If two lines are perpendicular, they create 4 90° angles. Meaning, in this case, that m<DBC = 90 and m<DBA = 90.
We're given that m<DBE = 2x - 1 and that m<CBE = 5x - 42.
The sum of angles DBE and CBE = m<DBC = 90°
We can add the two angles and set it equal to 90 to find x

 
        
             
        
        
        
The angle is sin inverse 0.3535 which is around 21 degrees
