The total water usage for a city is 50,000 gallons each day. Of that total, 32% is for personal use and 59% is for industrial use. How many more gallons of water each day is consumed for industrial use over personal use?
59% of the water consumption is industrial use and 32% is personal use so (59% - 32%) = 27% more water is used for industrial purposes. 50,000 gallons are consumed daily so industry consumes \( \frac{27}{100} \) x 50,000 gallons = 13,500 gallons.
For this diagram, the Pythagorean theorem states that b2 = ?
c2 - a2
The Pythagorean theorem defines the relationship between the side lengths of a right triangle. The length of the hypotenuse squared (c2) is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared (a2 + b2): c2 = a2 + b2 or, solved for c, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)
The heart __________ blood.
oxygenates
To provide oxygen to the body, blood flows through the heart in a path formed by the right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle → body. When blood enters the right side of the heart it is deoxygenated. It enters the left side of the heart oxygenated after traveling to the lungs.
Depending on where you apply effort and resistance, the wheel and axle can multiply:
force or speed
If you apply the resistance to the axle and the effort to the wheel, the wheel and axle will multiply force and if you apply the resistance to the wheel and the effort to the axle, it will multiply speed.
The principle of moments defines equilibrium in terms of:
torque
According to the principle of moments, you can maintain equilibrium if the moments (forces) tending to clockwise rotation are equal to the moments tending to counterclockwise rotation. Another name for these moments of force is torque.
__________ is caused by a lack of Vitamin C.
scurvy
Scurvy is a difficiency disease caused by a lack of Vitamin C in the diet.
