Answer:

The least amount of time (in hours) both pumps need to be open is 3 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Question,

  • Given That, A pool has two inlet pumps A and B. If pump A alone is open, it takes 12 hours to fill the pool with water. If pump B alone is open, it takes 18 hours to fill the pool with water.

Let the Capacity of the Pool is 36Litre.

  • Thus, If pump A alone is open, it takes 12 hours to fill the pool with water. thus the Efficiency of Pipe A is 3 ltr/hour.
  • And, If pump B alone is open, it takes 18 hours to fill the pool with water. thus the Efficiency of Pipe B is 2 ltr/hour.

If the pool needs to be filled in 10 hours the least amount of time (in hours) both pumps need to be open is 3 hours.

Note:- if 3 hour both pipe open so 3 x (5) = 15 ltr Pool is Filled.

Now For Remaining 7 hour Pipe A with Efficiency 3 ltr/hour is open alone to fill the pool Remaining 7 x 3 = 21 ltr . Total 21+15 = 36ltr .

miskamm [114]
 B.<span>Adding 15 to both sides of the equation. 

A. Adding 8x to both sides wouldn't cancel anything out. 
B. Adding 15 to both sides will cancel out 15 making it easier to solve for x.  
C.Adding 3 to both sides will not cancel anything out.
D. Adding 2x to both sides won't cancel anything out. </span>

Pat wants to create s rectangular playpen for her dogs in her backyard. And estimates the dogs will need 600 square feet. She al
Ira Lisetskai [31]
I found width=13.72 ft and length=43.72 ft.
Call one dimension of the rectangle x, the other will be x+30
You want an area A=600 ft^2 but A=length x width=x*(x+30)=600
Rearranging you get:
x^{2} +30x-600=0
solving this quadratic equation you get a negative solution and a positive one that gives your result.

Answer:

<h2>LA = 24 ft²</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

In the base we have the right triangle. Use the Pythagorean theorem for to calculate the hypotenuse:

h^2=4^2+3^2\\\\h^2=16+9\\\\h^=25\to h=\sqrt{25}\\\\h=5\ ft

The Lateral Area is the sum of the areas of three rectangles:

4\ ft\ \times\ 2\ ft\to A_1=(4)(2)=8\ ft^2\\\\3\ ft\ \times\ 2\ ft\to A_2=(3)(2)=6\ ft^2\\\\5\ ft\ \times\ 2\ \ft\to A_3=(5)(2)=10\ ft^2

The Lateral Area:

LA=A_1+A_2+A_3\to LA=8+6+10=24\ ft^2
