Answer:
≈ 20.8 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
A right triangle is formed between the wall, the ground and the ladder.
The ladder is the hypotenuse , the wall and ground are the legs.
let h be the height of the wall, then using Pythagoras' identity
h² + 33² = 39²
h² + 1089 = 1521 ( subtract 1089 from both sides )
h² = 432 ( take the square root of both sides )
h = ≈ 20.8 ft ( to the nearest tenth )

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Amount of water in tank 1 = amount of water in tank 2
30t +25 = -20t + 1000
Add 20t to both sides
30t + 20t + 25 = -20t + 20t + 1000
50t + 25 = 1000
Subtract 25 from both sides
50t + 25 - 25 = 1000 - 25
50t = 975
Divide both sides by 50
t = 975/50 = 39/2
t = 19 minutes 30 seconds
After 19 1/2 minutes both tanks will have 610 liters of water
