Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's begin.

According to the problem, the pipe descends $\frac{2}{5}$ inches per foot.

1 foot = 12 inches[/tex]

This means $y=\frac{2}{5}$ inches

$x=12$ inches

Thus, the slope can be expressed as: $\frac{y}{x}$

So the slope equals $\frac{\frac{2}{5} }{12}$

the slope results in $\frac{2}{12*5}$

the slope evaluates to $\frac{2}{60}$

the slope is $\frac{1}{30}$ : therefore the answer is $\frac{1}{30}$ : Answer

Answer:

$m=\frac{1}{30}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the slope, divide the rise by the run to calculate the slope.

Note that

1 ft = 12 in

Let

y ----> the rise

x ----> the run

m ----> the slope

$m=\frac{y}{x}$

the values are given as

$y=2/5\ in$

$x=1\ ft=12\ in$

$m=\frac{y}{x}$

substituting these values gives

$m=\frac{(2/5)}{12}$

$m=\frac{2}{60}$

Simplifying further

$m=\frac{1}{30}$

A solid oblique cone with a slant length of 17 units is placed inside an empty cylinder with a congruent base of radius 8 units

PIT_PIT [3895]

Step $1$

Calculate the volume of a cylinder

We understand that

the volume of a cylinder can be expressed as

$V1=\pi r^{2} h$

In this scenario

$r=8\ units \\ h=15\ units$

Insert the values

$V1=\pi 8^{2} 15$

$V1=960\pi\ units^{3}$

Step $2$

Calculate the volume of a cone

We are aware that

the volume of a cone equals

$V2=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^{2} h$

In this example

$r=8\ units \\ l=17\ units \\ h=?$

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to determine the height h

$h^{2} =l^{2}-r^{2}\\ h^{2} =17^{2}-8^{2}\\ h^{2}=225\\ h=15\ units$

$V2=\frac{1}{3}\pi 8^{2} 15\\ \\ V2=320\pi \ units^{3}$

Step $3$

Calculate the empty volume inside the cylinder

$V1-V2=960\pi -320\pi =640\pi \ units^{3}$

Thus

the final result is

the empty volume inside the cylinder is $640\pi \ units^{3}$

Answer:

8 servings

Step-by-step explanation:

At a ratio of 15:1, for each serving that uses 75 grams of rice, it will need 75/15 = 5 grams of spice. With David having 40 grams of spice, he can prepare ...

40 g/(5 g/serving) = 8 servings

What is Question I (if m<EBF = 117°, fine m<ABE)

tester [3895]

Answer:

m∠ABE = 27°

Step-by-step explanation:

* To analyze the figure to address the query

- AC represents a line

- Ray BF crosses line AC at point B

- Ray BF is perpendicular to line AC

Thus, both ∠ABF and ∠CBF are classified as right angles

Which gives us ∠ABF = ∠CBF = 90°

- Rays BE and BD meet line AC at point B

Since m∠ABE is equal to m∠DBE, as indicated by the same symbol in the figure

It implies that BE acts as the angle bisector of angle ABD

Given that m∠EBF = 117°

Then m∠EBF = m∠ABE + m∠ABF

Where m∠ABF = 90°

So, 117° = m∠ABE + 90°

- By subtracting 90 from both sides

It follows that m∠ABE = 27°
