Answer:

7.2\; \text{hours}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the volume of this cistern be 1.

The first pipe fills the cistern at a rate of \displaystyle \frac{1}{12\; \text{hour}}.

In other words, each hour, the first pipe would fill \displaystyle \frac{1}{12} of the cistern every hour.

On the other hand, the second pipe fills the cistern at a rate of \displaystyle \frac{1}{18\; \text{hour}}.

This pipe would fill \displaystyle \frac{1}{18} of the cistern every hour.

Hence, when opened together, the two pipes would fill \displaystyle \frac{1}{12} + \frac{1}{18} = \frac{3}{36} + \frac{2}{36} = \frac{5}{36} of this cistern every hour.

At this rate, it would take \displaystyle \frac{36}{5}\; \text{hours} = 7.2\; \text{hours} for the two pipes to fill the entire cistern.

Two lines intersect in a plane in form for angles what are the angles formed fathers intersect is a 53° angle what are the measu
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

53°, 127°, 127°

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Two intersecting lines form two pairs of angles:</u>

  • Pair of vertical angles. They are opposite to each other and are equal
  • Pair of adjacent angles which are supplementary angles and their sum is  180°

<u>So if one of the angles is measured 53°, then the other angles are:</u>

  • 53°- vertical angle with the first one
  • 180° - 53° = 127°
  • 180° - 53° = 127°

REY [17]
To find the area of the triangle, you will need to know the length of the base and there length of the height.

You can find both of these by using the circles that are given.

If the total length of the circles is 35 cm, then each circle has a length of 7 cm. If these are circles, then each circle has a height of 7 cm also.

A = 1/2 x b x h
1/2 x (4x7) x (2x7)
A = 196 square cm
