Given slabs thicknesses 5in, 10in, and 15in.

Therefore,<u> </u><u>ratio of thicknesses in simplest form would be 1:2:3.</u>

Metal 1 thicknesses =  150lbs, 300lbs, 600lbs

Dividing by 150, we get ratio of Metal 1 thicknesses = 1:2:4.

Metal 2 thicknesses = 130lbs, 260lbs, 390lbs.

Dividing by 130, we get ratio of Metal 2 thicknesses =  1:2:3.

Metal 3 thicknesses = 310lbs, 620lbs, 930lbs.

Dividing by 310, we get ratio of Metal 3 thicknesses = 1:2:3.

Metal 4 thicknesses = 140lbs, 280lbs, 420lbs.

Dividing by 140, we get ratio of Metal 4 thicknesses = 1:2:3.

<u>We can see the ratios of thicknesses of Metal 1 are 1:2:4 but it should be 1:2:3.</u>

Therefore, Metal 1 weight is not proportional to thickness.

Answer:

Weights of metal 1 is not proportional to thickness.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given 3 thicknesses of metal slabs and the weights of each thickness for each metal. We are asked to find out which of the metals weight is not proportional to thickness.

We can see that the thicknesses of slabs are first three multiples of 5 that is 5 inches, 10 inches and 15 inches.

Now let us see which of the metals have not their weights proportional to their thicknesses.

In our first option we can see that 300 is 2 times 150 and 600 is 4 times 150 which is not proportional to thickness. In order to metal 1's weight to be proportional with it's thickness it should be 450 lbs instead of 600.

Our second metal's weight is proportional to it's thickness as 130, 260 and 390 are 3 first consecutive multiples of 130.

Our third and fourth metal's weights are also proportional to their thicknesses.

Therefore, metal 1's weight is not proportional to thickness.

If the egress rate for a stadium is 5,500 fans per hour and it takes fans about one-third less time for fans to exit a game as i
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

1833 fans per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Ingress is entering and Egress is exiting.

Since exiting time is 1/3rd less than entering time, we have 5500 people exiting, so ingessing would be 1/3rd that.

Thus,

Ingress Rate = 5500/3 = 1833.33

Rounding to whole number, we have 1833 fans per hour

Given ​ f(x)=x^2+12x+26 ​.
lapo4ka [179]

f(x)=x^2+12x+26

Vertex form of f(x) = a(x-h)^2 +k

We change f(x) into vertex form using completing the square method

f(x)=x^2+12x+26

We take half of square of middle term

middle term is 12

Half of square of 12 is \frac{12}{2}=6 then 6^2 = 36

Add and subtract 36 to complete the square

f(x)=(x^2+12x+36)+26-36

f(x)= (x+6)^2 +26 - 36 f(x)= (x+6)^2 -10

The vertex form f(x)= (x+6)^2 -10

A statue is mounted on top of a 16 foot hill. From the base of the hill to where you are standing is 77 feet and the statue subt
DanielleElmas [232]

Consider right triangle with vertices B - base of the hill, S - top of the statue and Y - you. In this triangle angle B is right and angle Y is 13.2°. If h is a height of the statue, then the legs YB and BS have lengths 77 ft and 16+h ft.

You have lengths of two legs and measure of one acute angle, then you can use tangent to find h:

\tan 13.2^{\circ}=\dfrac{\text{opposite leg}}{\text{adjacent leg}} =\dfrac{16+h}{77}, \\ \\ 0.2345=\dfrac{16+h}{77},\\  \\ 16+h=0.2345\cdot 77=18.0565,\\ h=18.0565-16=2.0565 ft.

Answer: the height of the statue is 2.0565 ft.
