Step-by-step Answer:

AN is height, so A is perpendicular to BC.  (See image attached).

BN = 18

AN = 24

AC = 40

All as labeled.

ABN is a right triangle, with AB = sqrt(18^2+24^2)=sqrt(324+576)=30

ACN is a right triangle, with CN = sqrt(40^2-24^2)=sqrt(1600-576) = 32

=>

BC = BN + NC = 18 + 32 = 50

Dafna1 [17]
Here is the solution to the given problem above.
Given the the amount of water in a pool is decreasing 5/8 gallon every hour.
And what would be the change in the number of gallons after 3/4 hour. So what we are going to do is just to multiply 5/8 by 3/4. And the result would be 15/32. The total change in the number of gallons of water in the pool after 3/4 hour would be 15/32 gallons.

20 * 2 = 40

10 * 2 = 20

Then, add then up!

40 + 20 = 60
