6. At a construction site, cement, sand, and gravel are used to make concrete. The ratio of cement to sand to gravel is 1 to 2.4

to 3.6. If a 150-lb bag of sand is used, how much cement and gravel must be used?

Answer:

Mass of cement used is 62.5 lb

Mass of gravel used is 225 lb

Explanation:

The ratio given here is cement to sand to gravel = 1 : 2.4 : 3.6

So, for 150 lb of sand

C : S : G = 1 : 2.4 : 3.6

\frac{C}{S}=\frac{1}{2.4}\\\Rightarrow C=S\frac{1}{2.4}\\\Rightarrow C=150\frac{1}{2.4}\\\Rightarrow C=62.5\ lb

Mass of cement used is 62.5 lb

\frac{S}{G}=\frac{2.4}{3.6}\\\Rightarrow G=S\frac{3.6}{2.4}\\\Rightarrow C=150\frac{3.6}{2.4}\\\Rightarrow C=225\ lb

Mass of gravel used is 225 lb

Define the coefficient of determination and discuss the impact you would expect it to have on your engineering decision-making b
scoundrel [369]

Answer and Explanation:

The coefficient of determination also called "goodness of fit" or R-squared(R²) is used in statistical measurements to understand the relationship between two variables such that changes in one variable affects the other. The level of relationship or the degree to which one affects the other is measured by 0 to 1 whereby 0 means no relationship at all and 1 means one totally affects the other while figures in between such 0.40 would mean one variable affects 40% of the other variable.

In making a decision as an engineer while using the coefficient of determination, one would try to understand the relationship between variables under consideration and make decisions based on figures obtained from calculating coefficient of determination. In other words when there is a 0 coefficient then there is no relationship between variables and an engineer would make his decisions with this in mind and vice versa.

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

Points to consider:

We need to take the input from the user

We need to find the manhatan distance and euclidian using the formula

(x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the two points

Manhattan:

|x_1 - x_2| + |y_1 - y_2|

Euclidian Distance:

\sqrt{(x1 - yl)^2 + (x2 - y2)^2)}

Code

#include<stdio.h>

#include<math.h>

struct Point{

  int x, y;

};

int manhattan(Point A, Point B){

  return abs(A.x - B.x) + abs(A.y- B.y);

}

float euclidean(Point A, Point B){

  return sqrt(pow(A.x - B.x, 2) + pow(A.y - B.y, 2));

}

int main(){

  struct Point A, B;

  printf("Enter x and Y for first point: ");

  int x, y;

  scanf("%d%d", &x, &y);

  A.x = x;

  A.y = y;

  printf("Enter x and Y for second point: ");

  scanf("%d%d", &x, &y);

  B.x = x;

  B.y = y;

  printf("Manhattan Distance: %d\n", manhattan(A, B));

  printf("Euclidian Distance: %f\n", euclidean(A, B));

 

}
