The area of an airplane's wings is related to the airplane's lifting force,
which holds the airplane in the air. The table below lists several wing areas
and the corresponding lifting forces. The ratio of lifting force to area is
equivalent for all pairs in the table. What are the values of x and y?*

Explanation:

The table is:

AIRPLANE LIFTING FORCE

Area of Wings   Lifting Force

(square feet)        (pounds)

    125                    1,875

    150                   2,250

    175                   2,625

    250                  3,750

       x                    5,625

    420                      y

The ratio of lifting force to the area is equivalent for all pairs in the table. What are the values of x and y?

1. Calculate x:

Ratio of lifting force to the area for the first pair (row):

Ratio of lifting force to area for the pair with x:

Set the proportion:

Equal the two ratios

Multiply both sides by 5,625 (multiplication property of equalities):

2. Calculate y:

You can use the same know ratio for the first pair: 125/1,875

And set the corresponding proportion, with y:

Invert both sides:

Multiply both sides by 420

The answer is x = 375 square feet and y = 6,300 pounds.

points are handed out whenever you post answers.

brainliest answers are handed out by the person asking the question, so whether your answer is picked depends entirely on whether the asker bothers to pick

if you're asking about your rank, it depends on having a certain number of points and a certain number of brainliest answers. for example, at the time of this writing, i have 44338 points out of 15000 needed for the next (nearly triple the requirement! ) but i only have 24 out of 50 required brainliest answers. this number decays, meaning after a certain amount of time (i think about a month), the total number of brainliest answers you've earned doesn't count toward this total. (i've been stuck at the same rank for a long

the lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't worry about points or rank. chances are, no matter how good an answer you may provide, your efforts will go mostly unnoticed unless you focus on the newest/most active questions that get posted.

answer: -2+√x,-2-√x

i hope this , i don't know if you're looking for a pair or not.
