Question

Write an equation to model this proportional relationship, where x represents the length of the rectangle and y represents the width of the rectangle.

Answer 1

When Area of rectangle is constant, then the length x is inversely proportional to the width y of the rectangle.

$x\propto \frac{1}{y}$

We know that the area of a rectangle is given by the product of the length and width of the rectangle.

Area = Length*Width

In this given problem,

The length of the rerectanglctangle is represented by x

and the width of the rectangle is represented by y

If the area of the rectangle is represented by A now.

So by the formula,

A = x*y

When A is constant then,

x = A/y

$\therefore x \propto \frac{1}{y}$

So from the above calculation we can conclude that about relation between length and width that,

"When Area of rectangle is constant, then the length x is inversely proportional to the width y of the rectangle."
