Answer:

The smaller number is 15

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, set up a proportion where the ratio is a fraction and the new value is with x on the other side.

3/7 = x/35

Now cross multiply to solve.

35 * 3 = 7 * x

105 = 7x

15 = x

Gravel is being dumped from a conveyor belt at a rate of 20 ft3/min, and its coarseness is such that it forms a pile in the shap

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

0.25 feet per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

Gravel is being dumped from a conveyor belt at a rate of 20 ft3/min. Since we are told that the shape formed is a cone, the rate of change of the volume of the cone.

$\dfrac{dV}{dt}=20$ ft^3/min$

$\text{Volume of a cone}=\dfrac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h$

Since base diameter = Height of the Cone

Radius of the Cone = h/2

Therefore,

$\text{Volume of the cone}=\dfrac{\pi h}{3} (\dfrac{h}{2}) ^2 \\V=\dfrac{\pi h^3}{12}$

$\text{Rate of Change of the Volume}, \dfrac{dV}{dt}=\dfrac{3\pi h^2}{12}\dfrac{dh}{dt}$

Therefore: $\dfrac{3\pi h^2}{12}\dfrac{dh}{dt}=20$

We want to determine how fast is the height of the pile is increasing when the pile is 10 feet high.

$h=10$ feet$\\\\\dfrac{3\pi *10^2}{12}\dfrac{dh}{dt}=20\\25\pi \dfrac{dh}{dt}=20\\ \dfrac{dh}{dt}= \dfrac{20}{25\pi}\\ \dfrac{dh}{dt}=0.25$ feet per minute (to two decimal places.)$

When the pile is 10 feet high, the height of the pile is increasing at a rate of 0.25 feet per minute

If SV⊥RT, m∠RSU = (17x – 3)°, and m∠UST = (6x – 1)°, find TSV

goblinko [34]

Applying the linear pair theorem, the measure of angle TSV in the image given is: 86°.

<h3>How to Apply the Linear Pair Theorem?</h3>

Given the following angles in the image above:

Measure angle RSU = (17x - 3)°,

Measure angle UST = (6x – 1)°

To find the measure of angle TSV, we need to find the value of x in the given expressions as shown below:

m∠RSU + m∠UST = 180 degrees (linear pair]

Substitute the values

17x - 3 + 6x - 1 = 180

Solve for x

23x - 4 = 180

23x = 180 + 4

23x = 184

x = 8

m∠TSV = 180 - 2(m∠UST) [Linear Pair Theorem]

m∠TSV = 180 - 2(6x - 1)

Plug in the value of x

m∠TSV = 180 - 2(6(8) - 1)

m∠TSV = 86°

Therefore, applying the linear pair theorem, the measure of angle TSV in the image given is: 86°.
