Answer:

3.6 hours or 3 hours and 36 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the first pipe can fill the pool in 9 hours that means that in 1 hour it fills \frac{1}{9} of the pool, we use the same logic for the second pipe and conclude that in 1 hour it feels up \frac{1}{6} of the pool. If both were to fill the pool together that means that in 1 hour they would fill...

\frac{1}{9} +\frac{1}{6} = \frac{5}{18} of the pool in 1 hour.

Now to find how many hours it will take divide the pool by the speed with which it is getting filled.

1 / \frac{5}{18} = 3.6 hours

3.6 hours in other words is 3 hours and 36 minutes.

Given △ABC. m∠A>m∠B>m∠C. Perimeter=30. Which side of △ABC may have length 7?
lisabon 2012 [21]

<u>Solution-</u>

As given in △ABC,

m\angle A>m\angle B>m\angle C

As from the properties of trigonometry we know that, the greater the angle is, the greater is the value of its sine. i.e

\sin A>\sin B>\sin C

According to the sine law,

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

In order to make the ratio same, even though m∠A>m∠B>m∠C, a must be greater than b and b must be greater than c.

\Rightarrow a>b>c

Also given that its perimeter is 30. Now we have to find out whose side length is 7. So we have 3 cases.

Case-1. Length of a is 7

As a must be the greatest, so b and c must be less than 7. Which leads to a condition where its perimeter won't be 30. As no 3 numbers less than 7 can add up to 30.

Case-2. Length of b is 7

As b is greater than c, so c must 6 or less than 6. But in this case the formation of triangle is impossible. Because the triangle inequality theorem states that the sum of any 2 sides of a triangle must be greater than the measure of the third side. If b is 7 and c is 6, then a must be 17. So no 2 numbers below 7 can add up to 17.

Case-3. Length of c is 7

As this is the last case, this must be true.

Therefore, by taking the aid of process of elimination, we can deduce that side c may have length 7.

a giant pizza box in the shape of a rectangular prism measures 38m times 38m times 0.25m. what is the surface area of the box
Helga [31]
So the surface area of a box has this equation: A = 2 (wl + hl + hw)

w = width = 38
l = length = 38
h = height = 0.25

Plugging in:
A = 2 ((38*38) + (38*0.25) + (38*0.25))
    = 2926 square meters
