43.2in

Step-by-step explanation:

If the two people are equally proportional, then knowing the size of the waist of one of them, we gonna we be able to know the other's wais size, by the relation.

<u>Answer:</u>

The taller person's waist size is 43.2 inches

<u>Solution:</u>

As given in the question, if 2 people are equal in proportion, then the taller person has 20% taller or larger waist than the smaller person in any given dimension. This means that, the taller person’s waist would be 120 % of the smaller person.

Hence, we multiply 1.2 (120%) with 36 inches (waist size of shorter person) which gives the waist size of the taller person as 43.2 inches.

36\times (1.2) = 43.2 inches.

kap26 [50]

Answer:

3rd graph down

Step-by-step explanation:

greens are x and carrots are y in my equations

2x - y >= 3

x + 2y < 4

The first equation is solid and will highlight everything to the right of it because it is a >

the second is dashed and will highlight everything to the left of it because it is a <

the only 2 graphs that show this are 1 and 3

looking at the points you can see that the points for the solid line are both the same so ignore those and go to the dashed lined ones.

on the first graph the points are (0,4)

plugging those into our equation gives us 0 + 2*4 <4

or 8<4 which doesnt make sense making 3 the correct graph

(sorry my answer wasnt posting so i had to start over and make it less detailed, but comment if you need any explanation)
