Four-legged animals run with two different types of motion: trotting and galloping. An animal that is trotting has at least one

foot on the ground at all times, whereas an animal that is galloping has all four feet off the ground at some point in its stride. The number of strides per minute at which an animal breaks from a trot to a gallop depends on the weight of the animal.
1. Use the table and the method of this example to find an equation that relates an animal's weight x (in pounds) and its lowest galloping speed y (in strides per minute).
weight, X 25 35 50 75 500 1000
Galloping speed, Y 191.5 184.7 175.8 162.2 124.9 113.2

Answer:

Galloping speed Y=179.984-0.076 weight X

Step-by-step explanation:

The required equation is

y=a+bx

where y is galloping speed and x is weight of animal.

We have to estimate intercept a and slope b.

x                  y         xy       x²

25    191.5 4787.5 625

35     184.7 6464.5 1225

50    175.8 8790 2500

75     162.2 12165 5625

500  124.9 62450 250000

1000 113.2 113200 1000000

sumx=1685

sumy=952.3

sumxy=207857

sumx²=1259975

slope=b=\frac{n(sumxy)-(sumx)(sumy)}{nsumx^{2}-(sumx)^{2}  }

slope=b=\frac{6(207857)-(1685)(952.3)}{6*(1259975)-(1685)^{2}  }

slope=b=\frac{-357483.5}{4720625}

slope=b=-0.07573.

intercept=a=ybar-b*xbar

ybar=\frac{sumy}{n}

ybar=\frac{952.3}{6}

ybar=158.7167

xbar=\frac{sumx}{n}

xbar=\frac{1685}{6}

xbar=280.8333

intercept=a=ybar-b*xbar

intercept=a=158.7167-(-0.07573)*280.8333

intercept=a=158.7167+21.2675

intercept=a=179.9842

rounding intercept and slope to 3 decimal places

intercept=179.984.

slope=-0.076

The required equation is

Galloping speed Y=179.984-0.076 weight X

Help no time plzzzz plz plz​
Sav [38]

Answer:

FALSE

Step-by-step explanation:

<E in ∆AED ≅ <E in ∆CEB.

Both are 90°.

Side ED ≅ Side EB

Side AD ≅ Side CB.

Thus, two sides (ED and AD) and a non-included angle (<E) of ∆AED are congruent to corresponding two sides (EB and CB) and a non-included angle (<E) of ∆CEB. Therefore, by A-S-S Congruence Theorem, both triangles are congruent to each other not by SSS.

A cone shaped paper water cup has a height of 12 cm and a radius of 6 cm. If the cup is filled with water to half its height, wh
monitta

Answer:

The portion of the volume of the cup that is filled with water is \frac{1}{8}

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the volume of the paper water cup

The volume of the cone is equal to

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

we have

r=6\ cm

h=12\ cm

substitute

V=\frac{1}{3}\pi (6)^{2}(12)

V=144\pi\ cm^{3}

step 2

If the cup is filled with water to half its height, find out what portion of the volume of the cup is filled with water

Remember that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its volumes is equal to the scale factor elevated to the cube

In this problem the similar cone has half the height of the complete cone

so

The scale factor is equal to 1/2

therefore

The volume of the cup that is filled with water is equal to the volume of the complete cup by the scale factor elevated to the cube

V=(1/2)^{3}(144\pi)=(1/8)144\pi\ cm^{3}

therefore

The portion of the volume of the cup that is filled with water is

\frac{1}{8}
