<h2>135 cubic feet of concrete are required to create the platform.</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
The dimension of lower step is 6 ft× 3 ft× 1.5 ft
and the dimension of upper step is 6 ft ×(9-3)ft × (1.5+1.5)ft = 6 ft × 6 ft ×3 ft
Therefore concrete are required to make lower step = (6×3×1.5) cubic feet
= 27 cubic feet
and concrete are required to make upper step = (6×6×3) cubic feet
=108 cubic feet
<h3>∴(108+27) cubic feet =
135 cubic feet of concrete are required.</h3>
Y=1.50x+7.50. 7.50 is the y intercept and 1.50 is the rate of change or slope
Remark.
The problem is a bit indistinct. Where exactly are the two edges of the road? I'm going to say that they are the x intercepts, but that may not be true. Certainly it does not have to be true at all.
Graph.
A graph has been made for you. The maximum is marked for you. It is an approximation The actual height can be more accurately found.
Height
y = (-1/200)(x - 16)(x + 16)
y = (-1/200)*(x^2 - 256)
The maximum height for this graph only is when x = 0.Other graphs require completing the square.
y = (-1/200) * (-256)
y = 1.28 exactly. I thought the graph might be rounding the answer. It is not.
