Let
x-------> <span>the length of the pond
</span>y-------> the  width of the pond

we know that
[volume of the pond]=area of the base*deep
area of the base=volume/deep
volume=72000 in³
deep=24 in
area of the base=72000/24------> 3000 in²

area of the base=x*y
3000=x*y-------> equation 1
x=2y-----> equation 2

substitute equation 2 in equation 1
3000=[2y]*y------> 2y²=3000-----> y²=1500------> y=38.7 in
x=2y----> x=2*38.7----> x=77.4 in

the answer is
the length of the pond is 77.4 in
the  width of the pond is 38.7 in

Katen [24]

Money borrowed by Anthony from his friend for a sandwich and drink at lunch = $6.50

Money borrowed by Anthony from his sister to pay a library fine = $3.75

Hence, the equation to express Anthony's total debt that day will be =

Let T be the total debt , so the equations becomes,

6.50 + 3.75 = T

Mei and Anju are sitting next to each other on different horses on a carousel. Mei's horse is 3 meters from the center of the
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

2\pi \approx 6.28\ meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Mei's horse is 3 meters from the center of the carousel. After one rotation, Mei travelled

l_M=2\pi r=2\pi \cdot 3=6\pi\ meters

Anju's horse is 2 meters from the center. After one rotation, Mei travelled

l_A=2\pi r=2\pi \cdot 2=4\pi\ meters

The difference in their travelled distances is

l_M-l_A=6\pi -4\pi =2\pi \approx 6.28\ meters

A while back, either James borrowed $12 from his friend Rita or she borrowed $12 from him, but he can’t quite remember which. Ei
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

First option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let amounts of money James may have after he sees Rita be x.

It is given that either James borrowed $12 from his friend Rita or she borrowed $12 from him.

So meeting Rita second time either he will $12 or he will receive $12.

The amounts of money James may have after second meeting with Rita is:

Case 1: If he pays $12.

x=42.80-12             .... (1)

Case 1: If he receives $12.

x=42.80+12           .... (2)

On combining equation (1) and (2), we get

x=42.80\pm 12

Subtract 42.80 from both sides.

x-42.80=\pm 12

It can be written as

|x-42.80|=12

Therefore first option is correct.

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

SP = Quadrant 3    FP = Quadrant  4

Step-by-step explanation:

sp =  (−5.4, 3) fp (3, −5.4)  this means the line is decreasing as point y coordinate  changes fro 3 to 5.4 and will be a negative slope gradient- The quadrants at top left to right are 3 and 1  and bottom left to right is 2 and 4  Labels are Quadrant 3 = R      Quadrant 1 = P  Quadrant 2 = Q  Quadrant 4 = S The starting point is Left top side as y is positive and can only be 3 or 1 and x is negative      SP = Quadrant 3    The finishing point is bottom quadrants as y is negative this time and x is positive      FP = Quadrant  4   You can remember that it is often start of origin then quadrant 1 in straight line positive colorations

The total gallons of juice each person consumes a yearly has decreased 4.1% each year. In 1981 each person drink 16.5 gallons of
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

The approximate number of gallons consumed by a person in 2010 will be 4.9 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the formula for exponential decrease is given by a function of the form:

f(x)=A\.(1-r)^x

where A is the initial value, r is the rate of decrease, and x is the time elapsed.

In our case, the initial value of gallons of juice per person (at the starting time = 1981) is 16.5 gallons. So A = 16.5 gallons.

the rate of decrease "r" is the decimal form of: 4.1%, that is r = 0.041

So we have:

f(x)=16.5\.(1-0.041)^x

Now we can calculate what the average number of gallons would be in the year 2010, knowing that between 1981 and 2010 there is an elapsed time in years of: 2010-1981 = 29 years. Then:

f(29)=16.5\,(1-0.041)^{29}=4.9 \,\, gallons
