Answer:

The tank will empty in 4 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a barrel contains 56 liters of kerosene, and it has two taps, one tap that draws 500 ml every 6 minutes and after first 5 liters are drawn from the barrel, the second tap also starts, and it draws 1 liter in every 5 minutes, to determine how many hours will be taken in all to empty the tank, the following calculation must be performed:

0.5 x X = 5

X = 5 / 0.5

X = 10

10 x 6 = 60

1 hour = 51 liters

1 hour 30 minutes = 51 - (1 x 6) - (0.5 x 5) = 42.5

2 hours = 42.5 - (1 x 6) - (0.5 x 5) = 34

2 hours 30 minutes = 34 - (1 x 6) - (0.5 x 5) = 25.5

3 hours = 25.5 - (1 x 6) - (0.5 x 5) = 17

3 hours 30 minutes = 17 - (1 x 6) - (0.5 x 5) = 8.5

4 hours = 8.5 - (1 x 6) - (0.5 x 5) = 0

Therefore, the tank will empty in 4 hours.

Find the inverse f(x) = 4x+2
alexdok [17]

Answer:

Let's solve for x.

y=4x+2

Step 1: Flip the equation.

4x+2=y

Step 2: Add -2 to both sides.

4x+2+−2=y+−2

4x=y−2

Step 3: Divide both sides by 4.

4x/4=y−2/4

x=1/4y+ −1/2

Answer:

x=1/4y+ −1/2

How many square feet of outdoor carpet will we need for this hole?
QveST [7]
The whole ends up being 42 ft².

Area of a triangle = 1/2 * base * height. 
So that lil triangle piece is 1/2 * 2 * 3 = 1/2 * 6 = 3

Now we do the rectangle piece. Area of a rectangle = length * width
So that rectangle is 3 * 7 = 21

If you take away those two, you are left with a trapezoid. 
Area of a trapezoid is 1/2 * (base 1 + base 2) * height
Base 1 is the width of the rectangle which is 3. Base 2 is the 6. The height is the given 11 feet minus the 7 feet from the length of the rectangle which is 4. 

Plug all this in to the formula you get 1/2 * (6 + 3) * 4 = 1/2 * 9 * 4 = 1/2 * 36 = 18.

Now add all of your areas together;

21 + 3 + 18 = 24 + 18 = 42

Highschool level trigonometry!!! Need help knowing step by step how to find answer!
Goshia [24]

Answer:

\theta \approx 82.34^\circ

Step-by-step explanation:

Please refer to the attached diagram. (Apologies if the shading or resolution is a bit off.)

So, we want to find θ.

Since we formed a right triangle, we can use right triangle ratios.

We know the measure of the adjacent side to θ and the hypotenuse.

Therefore, we will use the cosine ratio:

\displaystyle \cos(\theta)=\frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}}

The adjacent side is 2 and the hypotenuse is 15. By substitution:

\displaystyle \cos(\theta)=\frac{2}{15}

Now, we will take the inverse cosine of both sides. So:

\displaystyle \theta=\cos^{-1}\Big(\frac{2}{15}\Big)

Use a calculator. Hence:

\theta \approx 82.34^\circ

The angle between the ground and the ladder is about 82.34°.
