Given that the triangles are similar.
When triangles are similar, all three pairs of corresponding sides are in the same ratio.
Similarly in the given triangles, the ratio of the corresponding sides are equal.
Cross multiplying, we get
Dividing both sides of the equation by -4.
So, we get
x = 7.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a large mixing tank initially holds 400 gallons of water in which 70 pounds of salt have been dissolved. Pure water is pumped into the tank at a rate of 4 gal/min, and when the solution is well stirred, it is then pumped out at the same rate.
Let Q(t) be the quantity of salt at time t.
Q(0) = 70 pounds
Inflow of water = outflow = 4 gal/min
So resulting volume of tank at time t = 400 gallons
Rate of change of salt = inflow - outflow
= 0 -
i.e.
This is a variable separable equation
Use when t =0 Q = 70
A =70
So A(t) = Q(t) = and
A(0) = Q(0) = 70 lbs.
