Water is leaking from a jug at a constant rate. after leaking for 2 hours, the jug contains 48 fluid ounces of water. after leaking for 5 hours, the jug contains 42 fluid ounces of water. part a: find the rate at which water is leaking from the jug.

2 fluid ounce/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

2 hours to 5 hours ; 3 hours apart

leaks: 48 -42 = 6 fluid ounce

rate of leak = 6/3 = 2 fluid ounce/hour

c. 27 units.

step-by-step explanation:

we are told that in circle a, ∠bae ≅ ∠dae.

we can see from our given diagram that in and ;

, as these are radii of our given circle.

therefore, by sas congruence postulate.

hence, side be will be equal to side de as corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. so we can set an equation to find the value of x as:

now let us substitute x=17 in the expression for the length of be.

therefore, length of be will be 27 units and option c is the correct choice.

b. y = 4x - 2

step-by-step explanation:

to find a parallel equation to an equation, make sure both equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

y = 4x + 1

4 = slope

1 = y-intercept

y = 4x - 2

4 = slope

-2 = y-intercept

they both have the same slope but different y-intercepts, so, b. is the correct answer.

and to check your work, you can graph both equations. : )
