Answer:

Part a) The paint needed will be 24\ pints

Part b) The weight of the life sized statue  is 896\ lb

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its surface areas is equal to the scale factor squared

Let

z----> the scale factor

x----> surface area of the life sized statue

y----> surface area of the smaller statue

z^{2}=\frac{x}{y}

we have

z=4

substitute

4^{2}=\frac{x}{y}

x=16y

The surface area of the life sized statue  is 16 times the surface area of the smaller statue

therefore

The paint needed will be

16(1.5)=24\ pints

step 2

Find the weight of the life sized statue

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its weights (or volumes) is equal to the scale factor elevated to the cube

Let

z----> the scale factor

x----> weight of the life sized statue

y----> weight of the smaller statue

z^{3}=\frac{x}{y}

we have

z=4

y=14\ lb

substitute

4^{3}=\frac{x}{14}

x=64(14)=896\ lb

Write the formula to calculate how much dough is prepared in x hours.
spin [16.1K]

Answer: D(x) = 2kg/h*x

where x is the number of hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The information that we have is:

in 5 hours, we can prepare 10kg of dough.

With this, we can find the rate per hour, to do this we find the quotient:

R = 10kg/5h = 2kh/h

This meeans that in one hour, we can make 2kg of dough.

Then, in x hours, we can make x times 2kg of dough, then the equation will be:

D(x) = 2kg/h*x

where x is the number of hours.

Given the diagram shown below which of the following best represents the distance from the school to the library?
Amanda [17]
To answer this question, we will use the sine law which is illustrated in the attached image.

We are given that:
The distance from school to library = a
∠A = 32
∠B = 110
b = 2.2

Substitute with the givens in the relation of the sine law to get a as follows:
(sin 32) / (a) = (sin 110) / (2.2)
a = (2.2 sin 32) / (sin 110)
distance from school to library = a = 1.2406 mi

Based on the above calculations, the best choice would be:
B. 1.2 mi
