Answer:

Time it will take to drain the entire tower = 2.8minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete as the volume of the tower was not indicated.

Let's consider the following question:

If there are 7.48 gallons in a cubic foot, and the volume of the tower is around 36000in cubed. Residents of the apartment building are using the water from the tower at an average rate of 56 gallons per minute, determine how long it will take to drain the entire tower.

Solution:

Volume = 36000in³

Conversion of in³ to ft³

1 inch = 0.0833 feet

12 inch = 1 ft

1 ft³ = 1ft × 1ft × 1ft

= 12 in x 12 in x 12 in = 1728 in³

36000in³ × [(1ft³)/(1728 in³) = (36000/1728)ft³

= 20.833ft³

Volume = 20.833ft³

There are 7.48 gallons in a cubic foot

In 20.833ft³ = 20.833ft³× (7.48 gallons/1ft³)

= 20.833× 7.48gallons

Volume = 155.83 gallons

The rate of usage = 56 gallons per minute

The rate of usage for 155.83 gallons = 155.83 gallons × (1min/56gallons)

= (155.83/56)minute

= 2.8minutes

Time it will take to drain the entire tower = 2.8minutes

Question :
Elza [17]

Answer:

C) 405.3 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle is a polygon with three angles and three sides. Types of triangle are scalene, isosceles, equilateral, right angled triangle.

Given a triangle with angles A, B, C and the corresponding sides directly opposite to the angles as a, b, c. The sine rule states that:

\frac{a}{sin(A)}= \frac{b}{sin(B)} =\frac{c}{sin(C)}

In the triangle formed by point C, ship B and ship A, we have ∠A = 82°, ∠B = 78°, c = AB = 140 ft. Hence:

∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180° (sum of angles in a triangle)

82 + 78 + ∠C = 180

∠C + 160 = 180

∠C = 20°

Using sine rule:

\frac{c}{sin(C)}=\frac{a}{sin(A)}\\\\\frac{140}{sin(20)}=\frac{a}{sin(82)}\\\\a=    \frac{140*sin (82)}{sin(20)}\\\\a=405.3\ ft

a =  distance from Ship B to the signal fire at point C

PLZ HURRY IT'S URGENT!!
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

n + 6 = 7n

Step-by-step explanation:

"The sum of a number and six" would mean the number plus 6: n+6 and "is seven times the number" indicates that it would be equal to the product of 7 for n: 7n. According to this, the answer is that the translation of the sentence into an equation is: n+6=7n.

n − 6 = 7n is not right because the statement says the sum of a number and six.

7(n + 6) = n is not right because the statement indicates that seven multiplies n on the right side as it says seven times the number.

n = 7n + 6 is not right because the statement says the sum of a number and six which would be on the left side and that this would be equal to seven for n.

Solve for the angle x.
sergejj [24]

Answer:

x=45

Step-by-step explanation:

An entire triangle is 180 degrees and you already know that one angle is 90 degrees. 180 - 90 is 90. Now you have the equation 2x=90.

You then divide each side by 2 to get the x by itself which leaves you with x=45.
