The safe load, L, of a wooden beam of width w, height h, and length l, supported at both ends, varies directly as the product of

the width and the square of the height, and inversely as the length. A wooden beam 4 inches wide, 9 inches high, and 168 inches long can hold a load of 7900 pounds. What load would a beam 2 inches wide, 6 inches high, and 144 inches long, of the same material, support? (Round off your answer to the nearest integer.)

Answer:

2257 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

First, get the volume of each and since density is the same, we shall use the density to get the other mass

First volume

Volume=lwh where l is length, w is width and h is height.

Substituting with the given figures

Volume=4*9*168=6048

Density

Density is mass per unit volume

D=m/v

Mass is given as 7900 pounds

Density is 7900/6048=1.3062169312169

Volume of second box

V=2*6*144=1728

Mass is product of volume and density hence 1.3062169312169*1728=2257.1428571428 pounds

Rounded off as 2257 pounds

Select Translation, Reflection, or Rotation to identify the single transformation that transforms ∆PQR to ∆P'Q'R'.
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Part A

Represents 'Reflection'. This is so because the y-coordinates of P, Q and R remain the same in P' , Q' and R', and only the x-coordinate changes. Hence, it is reflection along the y-axis

Part B

Represents 'Rotation'. Here, the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of each of the points have changed, and the figure has been rotated clockwise around the point Q by 90°

Part C

Represents a combination of 'Translation' and 'Reflection'. Here either of the two has happened:

  • First, all the points have been moved downwards by a fixed distance, thus changing the y-coordinate. Then, the resulting image has been reflected along the y-axis, thus changing the x-coordinate of all the points
  • First, all the points have been moved to the right by a fixed distance, thus changing the x-coordinate. Then, the resulting image has been reflected along the x-axis, thus changing the y-coordinate of all the points

Part D

Represents 2 'Translations'. Here the image has been shifted by a fixed distance in both the downward direction and the right direction. Thus, it has resulted in change of both x and y coordinates.

Pls help me with this ​
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So you start with 5.7 miles which is the first ride and the long ride is 5 2/3 times longer so you multiply 5.7 by 5 2/3. 5.7 is equivalent to 5 7/10 so you multiply 5 7/10 by 5 2/3. If we get common denominators we will end up with 5 21/30 and 5 20/30 then you multiply. You will get 32.3: 32.3 is equivalent to 32 and 3/10. Then you add that to 5 and 7/10. You will get 38.
