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

Question 45 A length of pipe that weighs 45 pounds is cut into two pieces. One of the pieces is 3 feet long and weighs 18 pounds
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer: 4.5 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Weight of original pipe =45 pounds

Weight of first piece = 18 pounds

Then, Weight of  other piece = 45- 18 =  27 pounds

Length of first piece = 3 feet

Let x be the length of other piece.

As length is directly proportional to weight.

Then, \dfrac{x}{27}=\dfrac{3}{18}

\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{x}{27}=\dfrac{1}{6}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{1}{6}\times27 =4.5

Hence, the he length of the other piece = 4.5 pounds.

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

y = 100 - 2.5 x is the equation that represents her total profit from

the project

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

1. An electrician earns 100 dollars for a project installing light fixtures

2. She must pay for the light fixtures herself and they cost 2 dollars

   and 50 cents each

3. x represent the number of light fixtures and y represent her

  total profit

Her profit is the amount of money she has left over after paying for

the light fixtures

∵ The cost of each light fixtures is 2 dollars and 50 cents

- Let us change the cents to dollar

∵ $1 = 100 cents

∴ 50 cents =  dollar

∴ 2 dollars and 50 cents = $2.5

∵ Her profit = The money she earns - The money she pays

∴ The cost of each light fixtures = $2.5

∵ She installs x light fixtures

∴ She pays 2.5 x dollar

∵ She earns $ 100 for installing x light fixtures

∵ Her profit is $y

∴ y = 100 - 2.5 x

y = 100 - 2.5 x is the equation that represents her total profit from

the project
