Answer:

150 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

P.S - The exact question is -

Given - This is the pond in a shape of a prism, it is completely full of

             water. Colin uses a pump to empty the pond. The level goes

             down by 20 cm in the first 30 min.

To find - Work put how many minutes Colin has to wait for the pond

               to completely empty.

Proof -

Given that,

Height of prism = 1 m

Also,

Base of the prism is trapezium and

Sides of the trapezium are 0.6 m and 1.4 m

Height of trapezium is 2 m

We know that,

Area of trapezium = \frac{1}{2}× (sum of sides)× height

                             =  \frac{1}{2}× (0.6 + 1.4)× 2

                             =  \frac{1}{2}× (2)× 2

                             =  2 m²

⇒Area of trapezium = 2 m²

Now,

Volume of prism = Area of trapezium × height of prism

                          = 2 m² × 1 m

                          = 2 m³

⇒Volume of prism = 2 m³

Now,

Given that the level goes down by 20 cm in the first 30 min

We know

100 cm = 1 m

⇒1 cm = \frac{1}{100} m = 0.01 m

⇒20 cm = 20×0.01 m = 0.2 m

⇒The level goes down by 0.2 m in the first 30 min.

Also,

we know that height of water = height of prism = 1 m

So, the remaining water left in the pond = 1 m - 0.2 m = 0.8 m

Also,

Volume of Remaining water = Area of trapezium × height

                                           = 2 m² × 0.8 m

                                           = 1.6 m³

⇒Volume of Remaining water = 1.6 m³

Now,

Volume of emptied water = Total Volume - Volume of Remaining water

                                       = 2 m³ - 1.6 m³

                                       = 0.4 m³

⇒Volume of emptied water = 0.4 m³

Now,

0.4 m³ water will be empty in 30 minutes

⇒ 1 m³ water will be empty in \frac{30}{0.4} = 75 minutes

⇒1.6 m³ water will be empty in 1.6 × 75 = 120 minutes

∴ we get

The remaining water is empty in 120 minutes

So,

Total pond is empty in 120 + 30 minutes

⇒Total pond is empty in 150 minutes

It represents a geometric sequence because it has a common ratio of 2.

In fact, a sequence is said to be geometric if any two adjacent elements are in the same ratio. In other words, if you choose any index n \in \mathbb{N} and consider the two consecutive terms a_n and a_{n+1}, you have

\dfrac{a_{n+1}}{a_n} = r

no matter which index you chose. In your case, the next term in the sequence is always the double of the previous one, so the ratio between two consecutive terms is always 2, and the series is geometric with common ratio 2

Enter the patriot equivalent to Tan (A) <br><br> And<br><br> Enter the ratio equivalent to cos (B)
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

(a)\ \tan A = \frac{5}{12}

(b)\ \cos B = \frac{5}{13}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for triangles

Solving (a)

\tan(A)

The tan of an angle is:

\tan(\theta) = \frac{Opposite}{Adjacent}

From the given triangle.

Opposite = 5

Adjacent = 12

So, we have:

\tan A = \frac{5}{12}

Solving (b)

\cos(B)

The cos of an angle is:

\cos(\theta) = \frac{Adjacent}{Hypotenuse}

From the given triangle.

Adjacent = 5

Hypotenuse = 13

So, we have:

\cos B = \frac{5}{13}

svetoff [14.1K]
I can barely see the majority of the questions
i cant do all but to multiply fractions, you just multiply the numerator and the denominator together
so 3 2/3 x 6
change 3 2/3 to an improper fraction
9/3 x 6/1 = 27/3 which is 9/1 reduced
10 x 1 2/3 is 10/1 x 5/3 = 50/3
