Answer:

40! Seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation for After how many seconds will the two fish tanks have the same amount of water

First step

Based on the information given let the equation be :

150-1/2x=120+1/4x

Second step

Now let solve for x which means that x will be the number of second by multiplying both side by 4

4(150-1/2x)=4(120+1/4x)

=600-2x=480+x

Third step

Let Add 2x on both side

600=480+3x

Third step

Let Subtract 480 on both side

600-480=480-480+3x

120=3x

Last step is to divide both side by 3

120/3=3x/3

40=x

Hence:

x=40 seconds

Therefore After 40 seconds the two fish tanks will have the same amount of water.

A triangle is inscribed in a circle. The vertices of the triangle divide the circle into three arcs of lengths 3, 4, and 5. What
krok68 [10]

The area of the required triangle is <u>9/π²(3  + √3)</u> sq. units.

In the question, we are given that a triangle is inscribed in a circle. The vertices of the triangle divide the circle into three arcs of lengths 3, 4, and 5.

We are asked for the area of the triangle.

Now, the circumference of the circle = 3 + 4 + 5 = 12 units.

The formula for the circumference is 2πr, which gives is:

2πr = 12,

or, r = 6/π.

The length of the arcs are proportional to its central angle, making the angles: 3θ, 4θ, and 5θ, which needs to sum up to 360°, giving us θ = 360°/12 = 30°.

Thus, the three arcs subtends angles of θ₁ = 3θ = 90°,θ₂ = 4θ = 120°, and θ₃ = 5θ = 150°.

The area of the circle can be calculated as:

Area = (1/2)r² sin θ₁ + (1/2)r² sin θ₂ + (1/2)r² sin θ₃ = r²/2(sin θ₁ + sin θ₂ + sin θ₃).

Substituting the values, we get:

Area = 36/2π²(sin 90° + sin 120° + sin 150°),

or, Area = 36/2π²( 1 + √3/2 + 1/2),

or, Area = 9/π²(3  + √3).

Thus, the area of the required triangle is <u>9/π²(3  + √3)</u> sq. units.
