The amount of oil used by a ship traveling at a uniform speed varies jointly with the distance and the square of the speed. The

ship uses 34 barrels of oil in traveling 60 miles at 20 mi/h. How many barrels of oil are used when the ship travels 32 miles at 23 mi/h? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a barrel, if necessary.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Joint variation has the equation

y = kxz

k is the constant of variation and needs to be solved for using the initial conditions, then filled in later to another equation related to the given info to solve for something else.  We are given y = amount of oil used, x = distance traveled, z-squared is the speed.  Our equation looks like this, to be exact:

y=kxz^2

Filling in with the initial conditions:

34=k(60)(20)^2 which gives us the

k = .0014166667

Now we need to find the amount of oil used, y, under other circumstances, but this time we have our k.

y=(.0014166667)(32)(23)^2

which gives us that the amount of oil used, when rounded to the tenths,

y = 24.0 barrels

Pls help. What is the appropriate congruent for these triangles
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

ASA

Step-by-step explanation:

In given triangle

Line BC = Line QR

Angle ABC = Angle PQR

Angle ACB = Angle PRQ

Computation:

Angle ABC = Angle PQR (Angle)

Line BC = Line QR (Side)

Angle ACB = Angle PRQ (Angle)

So,

ΔABC ≅ ΔPQR

By Angle Side Angle property

I will give 50 points and brainliest ​
Kay [80]

Answer:

27.2mm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a triangle = \frac{1}{2} * base * height

Base of this triangle = 8mm

Height = 6.8mm

Area = \frac{1}{2} * 8mm * 6.8mm

       = 4mm * 6.8mm

       = 27.2mm²

Determine the y-intercept of the line that passes through (-5,-12) and has a slope of -5
brilliants [131]

Answer:

-37

Step-by-step explanation:

Not sure what the method is called, but you do this.

substitute the slope into slope formula

y= -5x+b

substitute the points you have for x and y

-12= -5(-5)+b

solve

-12= 25+b

-37= b
