No, because 5/8=15/24 and 15/24≠15/40

15/40 = 5/8
cross multiply
(15)(8) = (40)(5)
120 = 200...incorrect...so it is not a true proportion

little tip : proportions are nothing but equivalent fractions...15/40 is not equivalent to 5/8.....now if it would have been 15/40 = 3/8 , since these are equivalent fractions, this would have been a true proportion

Answer:

$y=40\°$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

An isosceles triangle has two equal sides and two equal angles

The two equal angles are called the base angles and the third angle is called the vertex angle

In this problem the triangle ABC is an isosceles triangle

$AB=AC$

$5x=40\°$

$x=8\°$

The sum of the internal angles of a triangle is equal to $180\°$

Find the value of y

$(2y+20)\°+2(40\°)=180\°$

$2y=180\°-20\°-80\°$

$2y=80\°$

$y=40\°$

Finger [1]

Answer:

$x=\frac{8}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{3}{4} x+5=7$

Subtract 5 from both sides.

$\frac{3}{4}x+5-5=7-5$

Simplify.

$\frac{3}{4}x=2$

Multiply both sides by 4.

$4*\frac{3}{4} x=2*4$

Simplify.

$3x=8$

Divide both sides by 3.

$\frac{3x}{3} =\frac{8}{3}$

Simplify.

$x=\frac{8}{3}$

Answer:

0.075 m/min

Explanation:

You need to use derivatives which is an advanced concept used in calculus.

1. Write the equation for the volume of the cone:

$V=\dfrac{1}{3}\pi r^2h$

2. Find the relation between the radius and the height:

r = diameter/2 = 5m/2 = 2.5m

h = 5.2m

h/r =5.2 / 2.5 = 2.08

3. Filling the tank:

Call y the height of water and x the horizontal distance from the axis of symmetry of the cone to the wall for the surface of water, when the cone is being filled.

The ratio x/y is the same r/h
