There are two machines that produce aluminum cans. the newer machine can produce 7200 cans in 200 minutes. it takes the older machine 300 minutes to produce that same amount. if the two machines work together, how long will it take to produce 7200 cans?

for the friend request.

when a figure, such as triangle (xyz) is reflected over the line y = x to create x'y'z' the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of the original image (pre-image) will be reversed for the image. (e.g., (x, y) > (y, x)) this means that the pre-image position of the x- and y-coordinates switch places which in turn provides a mirror like image of the original xyz.  

i notice that when i draw a line segment from x to x', that the points are parallel from each other -- they are exactly across from each other and do not intersect with any other points.  

yes, think i would see the same characteristic if you drew the line segment connecting y with the reflecting line and then y' with the reflecting line because of the essence of reflections. because it is a mirror image, each point was effected the same way which leads me to conclude that they same would apply to y and y'.

34.5 cm

step-by-step explanation:

generally for a circular segment of angle, θ° and radius r

arc length

= (θ/360) x circumference

= (θ/360) x 2πr

in our case, θ = 60°, π=3.142 and r = 33 cm

substitute into above formula

arc length

= (60/360) x 2(3.142)( 33) = 34.5 cm
