You can make a tent by throwing a piece of cloth over a clothesline, then securing the edge to the ground with stakes so that an

isosceles triangle is formed. How long would the cloth have to be so that the opening of the tent was 8 feet wide and 3 feet high?

Based on the required width and height of the tent, the length of the cloth would have to be 14.4 ft.

<h3>How long should the length of the cloth be?</h3>

The opening of the tent would be an isosceles triangle but if it is divided in two from the top, a right-angled triangle will be formed and the hypotenuse will be the length of the cloth on one side.

That length - according to the Pythagoras theorem - would be:

= √(6² + (8 /2)²)

= √(36 + 16)

= 7.2 ft

As this is the length of one side of the cloth, the length of the entire cloth is:

= 7.2 x 2

= 14.4 ft

1. y and x have a proportional relationship, and y = 7 when x = 2. What is the value of x when y = 21?
Alex

Answer:

Proportional relationship states that one in which two quantities vary directly with each other.

In other words, we say the variable y varies directly as x if:

  y = kx , where k is constant of proportionality.

(1)

Given: y and x varies a proportional relationship, and y = 7 and x=2

find the value of x when y =21

By the definition of proportional relationship;

y = kx                  ......[1]

Substitute the value y= 7 and x = 2 to solve for k;

7 = 2k

Divide by 2 to both sides we get;

\frac{7}{2} =\frac{2k}{2}

Simplify:

k = 3.5

Now,  substitute the value of k = 3.5 and y =21 in equation [1] to find the value of x.

21 = 3.5 x

Divide both sides by 3.5 we get;

\frac{21}{3.5} =\frac{3.5x}{3.5}

Simplify:

x = 6

Therefore, the value of x is 6.

(2)

Given: y and x varies a proportional relationship, and y = 9 and x=2

find the value of y when x=3.

By the definition of proportional relationship;

y = kx                  ......[1]

Substitute the value y= 9 and x = 2 to solve for k;

9 = k\cdot 2

Divide by 2 to both sides we get;

\frac{9}{2} =\frac{2k}{2}

Simplify:

k = 4.5

Now,  substitute the value of k = 4.5 and x=3 in equation [1] to find the value of y.

y= 4.5 \cdot 3

Simplify:

x = 13.5

Therefore, the value of y is 13.5.

(3)

From the given table,

y = 2.8 when x = 2

by the definition of proportional relationship;

2.8 = k \cdot 2

or

2.8 =2k

Divide by 2 to both sides, we get;

\frac{2.8}{2} =\frac{2k}{2}

Simplify:

k = 1.4

Therefore, the equation that represents the table is; y = 1.4 x
