Answer: The answer is 12.5 ft.
Step-by-step explanation: Given that there is a rectangle with ratio of its length to breadth 8 : 5. Also, the longer side of the rectangle is 20 feet. We are to find the length of the shorter side.
Let, '8x' and '5x' be the length and breadth of the rectangle respectively. Since length is the longer side, so we have

Therefore, width, length of the shorter side will be

Thus, the length of the shorter side is 12.5 ft.
Call Anita's score

and Joelle's score

.
1) "<span>their combined total score for one game was 425 points"
</span>Therefore

2)"Anita’s score was 40 less than twice Joelle’s."
Therefore

Substitute:

The rate at which the water from the container is being drained is 24 inches per second.
Given radius of right circular cone 4 inches .height being 5 inches, height of water is 2 inches and rate at which surface area is falling is 2 inches per second.
Looking at the image we can use similar triangle propert to derive the relationship:
r/R=h/H
where dh/dt=2.
Thus r/5=2/5
r=2 inches
Now from r/R=h/H
we have to write with initial values of cone and differentiate:
r/5=h/5
5r=5h
differentiating with respect to t
5 dr/dt=5 dh/dt
dh/dt is given as 2
5 dr/dt=5*-2
dr/dt=-2
Volume of cone is 1/3 π
We can find the rate at which the water is to be drained by using partial differentiation on the volume equation.
Thus
dv/dt=1/3 π(2rh*dr/dt)+(
*dh/dt)
Putting the values which are given and calculated we get
dv/dt=1/3π(2*2*2*2)+(4*2)
=1/3*3.14*(16+8)
=3.14*24/3.14
=24 inches per second
Hence the rate at which the water is drained from the container is 24 inches per second.
