Your iron works has been contracted to design and build a 500-ft3 square-based, open-top, rectangular steel holding tank for a p

aper company. The tank is to be made by welding half-inch-thick stainless steel plates together along their edges. As the production engineer, your job is to find dimensions for the base and height that will make the tank weight as little as possible. What dimensions do you tell the shop to use?

500 cubic feet of 1/2-inch thick stainless steel plates will weigh the same no matter what dimensions are use for area and height of tank.

A 5 foot by 5 foot area 20 feet high (500 cubic feet) will weigh just as much as a  10 foot by 10 foot area 5 feet high (also 500 cubic feet) since you are using the same amount of material for the whole tank. Only possible change in weight of tank is the use of welding material and how evenly and good the welder is at welding stainless steel.

with Judy jogging north and Jackie jogging west (on straight roads). When Jackie is 1 mile farther fro m the intersection than J
miskamm [114]
Let the distance of Judy from intersection is x and distance of Jackie from intersection is y.

We convert the given information to equations, step by step.

Point 1: When Jackie is 1 mile farther from the intersection than Judy.

This means y is 1 mile more than x.

So,

y = 1 + x

Point 2: The distance between them is 2 miles more than Judy’s distance from the intersection. 

Distance between is x+ y.

So, x+y is 2 miles more than y.

x+y = y + 2
⇒
x = 2

From point 1 we have:

y = 1 + x = 1+ 2 = 3

So,

Distance of Judy from intersection is 2 miles and distance of Jackie from intersection is 3 miles.

How do u find slope on the graph
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

you get 2 coordinates x one, y one, x two, and y two and then do rise over run which is y two - y one over x two - x one say x one is 4 and y one is 7 and x two is 8 and y two is 13 you say 13-7=6 and 8-4=4 so it is 6/4 hope that makes sense

A recipe calls for 15 oz of flour for every 8 oz of milk .is the relationship between ounces of four and ounces of milk proporti
pantera1 [17]
Yes, they are proportional because if you increase or decrease either amount they will both change. They will always have the same size. For example if I want to double the flour, I will have to double the milk as well because they have the same ratio.
