OK so we know that the other side is 12 because the right triangle has to have two sides that add up to the hypotenuse, and I believe it gives you the answer in the question because you are trying to find x which it says x is the angle, and since its a right triangle, it would be 90°
6 is the height because 144 divided 24 equals 6. Hope this helps!
Answer:
It will take 4 hours and 48 minutes with both pipes.
Step-by-step explanation:
Add their rates of filling
1st pipe's rate = ( 1 tank ) / ( 12 hrs )
2nd pipe's rate = ( 1 tank ) / ( 8 hrs )
Let, t = hrs to fill tank using both pipes
(1 / 12) + (1 / 8) = (1 / t)
Multiply both sides by 24t
2t + 3t = 24
5t = 24
t = 4.8
0.8 x 60 = 48
It will take 4 hours and 48 minutes with both pipes
Sure, that's easy! Here's one
5x + 7 = 162
If I wanted to solve this equation, I would break it down. I'd subtract the result (162) by 7
162 - 7 = 155.
From there I just divide that by 5!
155 / 5 = 31
There it is! Ultimate proof that x is in fact 31!
