In a directly proportional relationship, increasing one variable will increase another. The weight of the roof whose depth is 1.75 inches is 6,300 pounds.

<h3>What is the directly proportional relationship?</h3>

In a directly proportional relationship, increasing one variable will increase another. This directly proportional relationship between p and q is written as p∝q where that middle sign is the sign of proportionality.

Let there are two variables p and q. Then, p and q are said to be directly proportional to each other if p = kq, where k is some constant number called the constant of proportionality.

Given the hail's weight varies directly with its depth. Therefore, the relation can be written as,

Weight ∝ Depth

W∝D

Introducing the constant to remove the proportionality we will get the equation as,

W = kD

1800pounds = k × 0.5 inches

3600ponds/inches = k

Now, the weight of the roof whose depth is 1.75 inches can be written as,

W = kD

W = 3600 × 1.75

W = 6,300 pounds

Hence, the weight of the roof whose depth is 1.75 inches is 6,300 pounds.

The least common denominator of two fractions is 20. If you subtract the two denominations, you get 1. What are the denominators
LekaFEV [45]
Steps
find the Least Common Multiple of the denominators (which is called the Least Common Denominator).

Change each fraction (using equivalent fractions) to make their denominators the same as the least common denominator.

Then add (or subtract) the fractions, as we wish!
your denominators stay the same so its 20

A blimp is providing aerial television views of a football game. The television camera sights the stadium at a 7 degree angle of
levacccp [35]
The line of sight is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with short leg 400 m, 90 degree angle where the short leg meets the ground, an 83 degree angle at the top, and a 7 degree angle across from the right angle on the ground. Because this 7 degree angle is an alternate interior angle with the angle of depression, they are the same degree measure. Looking for the hypotenuse, we use the sin ratio: sin (7) = 400/x.

Find x. Give reasons to justify your solution. b Lines AB and CD are straight lines.
MArishka [77]

Answer:

x = 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that lines AB and CD are straight lines that intersects at O, it follows that the pair of opposite vertical angles formed are congruent.

Thus,

<AOD = <BOC

<AOD = 152°

<BOC = 3x + x + (x + 12) (angle addition postulate)

<BOC = 5x + 12

Since <AOD = <BOC, therefore,

152° = 5x + 12 (substitution)

152 - 12 = 5x (subtraction property of equality)

140 = 5x

140/5 = x (division property of equality)

28 = x

x = 28

Please help!! Im confused
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

The answer is that you tutored for 4 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 6 total squares, so then you must divide 12 by the number of squares (6), to find the value of one square. Then, you would find that one square equals 2 hours, and since you have 2 squares that means that you tutored for 4 hours.
