<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.

Rectangle PQRS is rotated 90 counterclockwise about the origin what are the coordinates of point Q
inna [77]
You have not provided the diagram/coordinates for point Q, therefore, I cannot provide an exact answer.
However, I can help you with the concept.

When rotating a point 90° counter clock-wise, the following happens:
coordinates of the original point: (x,y)
coordinates of the image point: (-y,x)

Examples:
point (2,5) when rotated 90° counter clock-wise, the coordinates of the image would be (-5,2)

point (1,9) when rotated 90° counter clock-wise, the coordinates of the image would be (-9,1)

point (7,4) when rotated 90° counter clock-wise, the coordinates of the image would be (-4,7)

Therefore, for the given point Q, all you have to do to get the coordinates of the image is apply the transformation:
(x,y) .............> are changed into.............> (-y,x)

Hope this helps :)

Drag each tile to the correct box. not all tiles will be used.Chris plans to mulch the border surrounding a rectangular garden i
amm1812

Length (L): 2w + 3

width (w): w

border (b): \frac{1}{4} w

Area (A) = (L + b) * (w + b)   <em>NOTE: This is assuming the width also has a border</em>

              = (2w + 3 + \frac{1}{4} w) * (w + \frac{1}{4} w)

              = (2\frac{1}{4} w + 3)(1\frac{1}{4} w)

              = (\frac{9}{4} w + 3)(\frac{5}{4} w)

              = \frac{45}{16} w^2 + \frac{15}{4}w
