It is desired to convert from slow sand filters to high-rate filters. The slow sand filters operate at a rate of 10 million gallons/acre-day and have a total area of 15 acres. Assuming the high-rate filters are rated for 6 gpm/ft2, and each filter has an area of 1,000 ft2, how many filters are required

Total 17 high rate filters are required

Step-by-step explanation:

Given -

Rate of filtration of slow sand filters = 10 million gallons/acre-day

Total million gallons of water filtered per day = 10 million gallons/acre-day * 15 acres

= 150 Million gallons per day

Rate of filtration of high rate filters = 6 gpm/ft2

Area of one high rate filter = 1,000 ft2

Volume of water filtered by 1 high rate filter is 6 gpm/ft2 *1,000 ft2 = 6000 gallons per minute  = 8640000 gallon per day

Number of filters required = 150 million gallons per day /8640000 gallon per day

150 * 10^6/8640000

17

Total 17 high rate filters are required

∠lno ≅ ∠lnm

∠oln ≅ ∠mln

step-by-step explanation:

given   that triangle lno is congruent to triangle lnm.

we have to fill up the blanks in the given question.

according to above order of congruency   kept in mind we can say that

∠lno ≅ ∠lnm

∠oln ≅ ∠mln

ln ≅ ln due to common in both.

hence, by sas congruency,

the side angle side rule   states that if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to another triangle, then these two triangles are congruent.
