How is the area of a sail related to the weight of the pilot on a hang glider?

Mathematics

The area of the sail is correlated to the weight of the pilot on the hang glider because the surface area of the sail needs to be able to lift ≤ (greater than or equal to) weight of the pilot.

The <u>correct answer</u> is:

The larger the surface area of the sail, the heavier the pilot can be and safely use the glider.

Explanation:

A hang glider must be able to support the weight of the pilot.  The air pushing up under the sail (wing) of the glider helps support the weight.  The more sail (wing) that you have, the more air pushing up, and the more weight it can hold.

Evaluate the given expression at x= -4<br> -3x + 2x^2 + 2
Mkey [24]

Answer:

\huge{ \boxed{ \bold{ \text{46}}}}

Step-by-step explanation:

If the value of variables of algebraic expression are given, the value of the term or expression can easily obtained by replacing the variables with numbers.

\text{ \underline{ Given}} :  \text{x =  - 4}

\text{ \underline{ To \: find}} :  \sf{value \: of \:  - 3x + 2 {x}^{2}  + 2}

\text{  Plug \: the \: value \: of \: x}

➝ \:  \sf{ - 3 * (- 4 )+ 2 *  {( - 4)}^{2}  + 2}

\text{Remember!} :  \text{Multiplying \: a \: negative \: integer \: by \: negative \: integer \: gives \: a \: positive \: integer.}

➝\sf{12 + 2 *  {( - 4)}^{2}  + 2}

\text{Evaluate \: the \: power}

➝\text{12 + 2 * 16 + 2}

\text{Multiply \: the \: numbers}

➝\text{12 + 32 + 2}

\text{Add \: the \: numbers}

➝  \boxed { \text{46}}

\text{Hope \: I \: helped!}

\text{Best \: regards!}
