<h3>Answer: 155 inches</h3>

This is equivalent to approximately 12.917 feet.

===================================================

Work Shown:

(10 inches)/(2 days) = (x inches)/(31 days)

10/2 = x/31

10*31 = 2*x ... cross multiply

310 = 2x

2x = 310

x = 310/2

x = 155

Keep in mind that this water is being drained on a fairly continuous basis. This means that not all of the water is sticking around (we'd hope not anyway) at the same moment in time.

Note: 155 inches = 155/12 = 12.917 feet approximately.

--------------------------

Alternative method:

If the town got 10 inches in 2 days, this means it rains at a unit rate of 10/2 = 5 inches per day.

Multiply that by 31 days and we get 5*31 = 155 inches of total rain.

If the length of the minor axis of an ellipse is 6 units and the length of the major axis is 10 units, how far from the center a
Sedbober [7]

The distance from the center to where the foci are located exists 8 units.

<h3>How to determine the distance from the center?</h3>

The formula associated with the focus of an ellipse exists given as;

c² = a² − b²

Where c exists the distance from the focus to the center.

a exists the distance from the center to a vertex,

the major axis exists 10 units.

b exists the distance from the center to a co-vertex, the minor axis exists 6 units

c² = a² − b²

c² = 10² - 6²

c² = 100 - 36

c² = 64

c = \sqrt{64}

c = 8

Therefore, the distance from the center to where the foci are located exists 8 units.

in the diagram, AE is tangent to the circle at point a and secant DE intersects the circle at point C and D. the iines intersect
AlexFokin [52]
Recall the secant-tangent theorem, and you have
EA^2 = EC*CD
12^2 = 8*(x+10)
and now ED = EC+CD = 8+x+10

Answer:

It decreases.

Step-by-step explanation:

10 / d

Lets say that it was 10 / 40, which is 10 divided by 40, 0.25.

Now, it has increased to twice the amount of that.

1 / 80, 10 divided by 80, which is 0.125

So, it decreases.
