An hourglass consists of two sets of congruent composite figures on either end. each composite figure is made up of a cone and a cylinder, as shown below:

hourglass with sand measuring 45 millimeters high

each cone of the hourglass has a height of 15 millimeters. the total height of the sand within the top portion of the hourglass is 45 millimeters. the radius of both cylinder and cone is 6 millimeters. sand drips from the top of the hourglass to the bottom at a rate of 10π cubic millimeters per second. how many seconds will it take until all of the sand has dripped to the bottom of the hourglass?

can someone me really understand this.

Asystem of linear equations with more equations than unknowns is sometimes called an overdetermined system. can such a system be consistent? illustrate your answer with a specific system of three equations in two unknowns. choose the correct answer below. a. yes, overdetermined systems can be consistent. for example, the system of equations below is consistent because it has the solution nothing. (type an ordered pair.) x 1 equals 2 comma x 2 equals 4 comma x 1 plus x 2 equals 6 b. no, overdetermined systems cannot be consistent because there are fewer free variables than equations. for example, the system of equations below has no solution. x 1 equals 2 comma x 2 equals 4 comma x 1 plus x 2 equals 12 c. yes, overdetermined systems can be consistent. for example, the system of equations below is consistent because it has the solution nothing. (type an ordered pair.) x 1 equals 2 comma x 2 equals 4 comma x 1 plus x 2 equals 8 d. no, overdetermined systems cannot be consistent because there are no free variables. for example, the system of equations below has no solution. x 1 equals 2 comma x 2 equals 4 comma x 1 plus x 2 equals 24
