Answer: The radius of the new water tower is approximately 21 ft^3
Step-by-step explanation:
So we know the volume of the Water Tower is 66840 ft^3 and the new one's volume will hold 3/5 as much. so you will multiply 66840 by 3/5 to find the volume of the new one.
66840 * 3/5 = 40104 so the new water tower will hold 40104 cubic feet of water.
Now to find the radius we will use the formula v= 4/3r^3
40104 = 4/3 * * r^3
40104= 4.1887* r^3
r= 21
Answer:
y = - 4x + 13
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to do this problem you would need a whole new equation, but you will use what is given to you:
instead of going with:
x - 4y = 20
Turn it into y = mx + b form, also known as slope-intercept form:
x - 4y = 20
-x = -x
_________
- 4y = 20 - x
Then divide both sides by - 4:
You will then get:
y =
From this equation we will only need the slope!
m || =
(This slope is for parallel)
but if you want perpendicular to the slope, then we need the negative reciprocal!
Negative reciprocal is a flipped version of the value that is negative, for example:
2 =
Because = 2
Now we will find the perpendicular slope which is:
m ⊥ = - 4
Now substitute this slope into slope intercept form:
y = mx + b
(-3) = -4(4) + b
(Take away parentheses)
-3 = -16 + b
(Move - 3 to the other side, by making it positive, but what you do to one side, you do to the other)
= -13 + 6
(Move - 13 to the other side, by make - 13 into +13)
+13 = +13
________
13 = b
(This is you b, also known as you intercept)
Your answer is:
y = -4x + 13
