Two other examples of linear relationships are changes of units and finding the total cost for buying a given item x times.

<h3>Other examples of linear relationships?</h3>

Two examples of linear relationships that are useful are:

Changes of units:

These ones are used to change between units that measure the same thing. For example, between kilometers and meters.

We know that:

1km = 1000m

So if we have a distance in kilometers x, the distance in meters y is given by:

y = 1000*x

This is a linear relationship.

Another example can be for costs, if we know that a single item costs a given quantity, let's say "a", then if we buy x of these items the total cost will be:

y = a*x

This is a linear relationship.

So linear relationships appear a lot in our life, and is really important to learn how to work with them.

Estimate the height of a tree using the following measurements:height of the rod:180 cm,length of the shadow of the rod is 116 c
andriy [413]

Answer:

1303.45 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangles formed by a rod and its shadow and a tree and its shadow are similar triangles, so the ratios of their heights to the lengths of their shadows are equal.

Let x be the height of the tree. Setting the ratios equal, we get:

180/116 = x/840

Solve for x:

x = 840 * (180/116)

x ≈ 1303.45 cm

Kevin bought 3 dvds for 45.99 how much would 7 dvds cost?
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

I am pretty sure the answer would be $107.31. Sorry if I'm wrong.

Step-by-step explanation:

First you take the total of the 3 DVD's (45.99) and you divide that by 3 (number of DVD's) to get 15.33 which is called the unit price. Then, you take your unit price and multiply that by how many items you are going to buy.

45.99 / 3 = 15.33

15.33 x 7 = 107.31
