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

How do you graph y=-3x+4
Art [367]

It's a linear function. The graph is a straight line, therefore we need only two points.

Select any value of x and calculate the value of y:

y = -3x + 4

for x = 0 → y = -3(0) + 4 = 4 → (0, 4)

for x = 2 → y = -3(2) + 4 = -2 → (2, -2)
