Answer:

(a) 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Since y is directly proportional to x we can write y and x in terms of the following equation:

y = cx where c is a constant
and c = y/x ...(1)
or,

x = y/c ...(2)

For (a)
y = 8 when x = 2 ==> c = y/x = 8/2 =4 from (1)

From (2) we get x = 10/4 = 2.5

Determine the area of each color

First, we calculate the area of all colors

$Area = \frac{\pi d^2}{4}$

This gives:

$Area = \frac{22 * 24^2}{7*4}$

$Area = \frac{12672}{28}$

$Area = 452.57$

Since all 4 colors have equal areas, the area of 1 of them is:

$A = \frac{1}{4}Area$

$A = \frac{1}{4} * 452.57$

$A = 113.14ft^2$

$A = 113ft^2$ --- approximated
