Answer: Hence, There is vertical distance of 19 inches the pipe must drop between its ends.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Rainwater outflow pipe must drop exactly 1 inch for every 25 inches of horizontal distance.

For 1 inch = 25 inches of vertical distance the pipe must drop.

If there is a 40 foot long rain water pipe runs under the edge of a roof.

Then, we need to find the vertical distance in inches the pope must drop.

First, we change 40 feet into inches.

Since 1 foot = 12 inches

40 feet = 40×12 inches = 480 inches

So, Vertical distance the pipe must drop is given by

\dfrac{480}{25}\\\\=19.2\ inches

Hence, There is vertical distance of 19.2 inches ≈ 19 inches the pipe must drop between its ends.

pashok25 [27]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, y varies inversely as x.

\therefore \: y =  \frac{k}{x}  \\ (k = constant \: of \: proportionality) \\   \therefore \: xy =  k...(1) \\ plug \: y = 194 \:  \: and \:  \: x =  - 13 \: in \: (1) \\ \therefore \:  - 13 \times 194=  k \\ \therefore \: k =  - 2522 \\ substituting \: k =  - 2522 \: in \: (1) \\ xy =  - 2522...(2) \\ this \: is \: equation \: of \: variation. \\ plug \: x = 50 \: in \: (2) \\ 50 \times y =  - 2522 \\  \therefore \:y =  \frac{ - 2522}{50}  \\   \huge \red{ \boxed{\therefore \:y =   - 50.44}}
