Answer: The time at which the distance between the two is 150 miles is 1.3 hr.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Sketch the problem as shown in the attached image.
The problem can be solved using Pythagoras theorem since the sketch is a right angled triangle.
It follows the equation x² + y² = 15².
The distance covered by Greg is given by <em>x mi</em>, and that of Erin is given by <em>y mi</em>.
Step 2: To derive the distance covered by Erin and Greg, we use the formula <em>Speed = distance ÷ time.</em>
Which by cross-multiplying gives <em>distance = speed × time</em>.
Let time taken to cover the distance be <em>t h</em>.
Given that Speed of Erin is 9 mph and that of Greg is 7 mph.
Hence, distance covered by Greg, x = 7 × t = 7t.
Distance covered by Erin, y = 9 × t = 9t.
Step 3: Insert the terms x and y into the Pythagoras equation x² + y² = 15² and solve for <em>time t.</em>
(7t)² + (9t)² = 15²
49t² + 81t² = 225
(49 + 81)t² = 225
t² = 225/(49 + 81)
t² = 225/130
t² = 1.730769231
t = √1.730769231
t = 1.315587029
t = 1.3hr
Hence the time at which the distance between the two is 150 miles is 1.3 hr.
Answer:
The volume of the water in the tank is 112 m³
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of the rectangular prism V = L × W × H, where
- L is its length
- W is its width
- H is its height
∵ A rectangular tank has a length of 4 m, a width of 12 m, and
a height of 3.5 m
∴ L = 4 m
∴ W = 12 m
∴ H = 3.5 m
∵ V = L × W × H
∴ The volume of the tank = 4 × 12 × 3.5
∴ The volume of the tank = 168 m³
∵ The tank is filled with water of its capacity
→ That means the volume of the water is the volume of the tank
∵ The volume of the water = the volume of the tank
∴ The volume of the water = × 168
∴ The volume of the water = 112 m³
∴ The volume of the water in the tank is 112 m³
