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

Triangle ABD is i<span>nscribed in circle and </span>has hypotenuse as circle's diameter so angle ABD must be 90°

Since it is parallelogram, ∠ABD = ∠BDC = 90° and it is given that ∠ADB = 30°

So we have ∠CDO = ∠CDB + ∠ADB = 30° + 90° = 120°

Final answers: ∠CDO = 120° and ∠ABD = 90°

What is the volume of a rectangular prism with side lengths 15.8m, 24.5m, and 4.2m?
vampirchik [111]

Answer: A = 1,625.82 m³

Step-by-step explanation:

   The volume of a rectangular prism can be found with;

             A = L * W * H

             A = L * W * H

             A = (15.8m) * (24.5m) * (4.2m)

             A = 1,625.82 m³

What is community property and associative property
hichkok12 [17]
It's "commutative property," which says that (for addition/multiplication) order of the operator doesn't matter. For eg, 3 * 5 = 5 * 3. 

Associative property (again, of multiplication and addition) means that it doesn't matter how you solve an expression if the same operand is used and some numbers are grouped. For eg. 3 * (5 * 4) = (3 * 5) * 4.
