Red candle:
Initial height  = 8 in
Burn rate = 710 in/h
After x hours, the height will be
h₁ = 8 - 710x

Blue candle:
Initial height = 6 in
Burn rate = 15 in/h
After x hours, the height will be
h₂ = 6 - 15x

When the two heights are equal, then
h₁ = h₂
8 - 710x = 6 - 15x
-695x = -2
x = 0.00288 hours

Answer:
The answer may take one of these forms:
0.003 hours, or
0.0029 hours, or
0.00288 hours.

lutik1710 [3]

Answer: RS

Step-by-step explanation:

A greater angle of a triangle is opposite a greater side. If angle Q is greater than angle R, then side RS is greater than side QS.

Because Q is the larger angle in the triangle, Then RS is the longest side.

A circle is a geometric object that has symmetry about the vertical and horizontal lines through its center. When the circle is a unit circle (of radius 1) centered on the origin of the x-y plane, points in the first quadrant can be reflected across the x- or y- axes (or both) to give points in the other quadrants.

That is, if the terminal ray of an angle intersects the unit circle in the first quadrant, the point of intersection reflected across the y-axis will give an angle whose measure is the original angle subtracted from the measure of a half-circle. Since the measure of a half-circle is π radians, the reflection of the angle π/6 radians will be the angle π-π/6 = 5π/6 radians.

Reflecting 1st-quadrant angles across the origin into the third quadrant adds π radians to their measure. Reflecting them across the x-axis into the 4th quadrant gives an angle whose measure is 2π radians minus the measure of the original angle.
