Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

We have y ∝ x which is another way of saying y varies directly with x

We can rewrite the direct proportion relation y ∝ x as y = k.x where k is a constant - the constant of proportionality

So y = kx or x = y/k

using y and x values know, we can solve for k and then solve for any x given y

We have

y = 37.4 =  k (17)

Therefore k = (37.4/17) = 2.2

To find x given y = 13.2, use the second equation
x = y/k = 13.2 / 2.2 =  6

We have the following equation:
 x2 + y2 + 6y - 72 = 0
 Rewriting we have:
 x2 + y2 + 6y = 72
 Complete squares we have:
 x2 + y2 + 6y + (6/2) ^ 2 = 72 + (6/2) ^ 2
 x2 + y2 + 6y + (3) ^ 2 = 72 + (3) ^ 2
 x2 + y2 + 6y + 9 = 72 + 9
 x2 + (y + 3) 2 = 81
 So, the center is:
 (0, -3)
 The radio is:
 r = 9
 Answer:
 
(0, -3)
 
r = 9

The area of a rectangular patio is 5 5/8 square yards, and it's length is 1 1/2 yards. What is the patio's width in yards?
MAXImum [283]
Hello there! Thank you for asking your question here at Brainly. I will be assisting you today with answering this problem, and will be teaching you how to deal with it on your own in the future.

First, let's take a look at our question, and evaluate it.

"The area of a rectangular patio is 5 5/8 square yards, and it's length is 1 1/2 yards. What is the patio's width in yards?"

To clarify this problem, we are looking for the patio's width.

Let's first understand what the area of a rectangular shape is.
The formula for the area of a rectangle is "Length times Width", or "L • W".

So this is how the equation should look like:
A = L • W
We have our area, 5 5/8, and we have our length, 1 1/2.

To make things more simple, let's convert our fractions to decimals. Now, to convert our fractions to decimals, let's set our denominators (the numbers on the bottom of a fraction) equal to another fraction, with x as the numerator (the numbers on the top of a fraction) and 100 as the denominator.

So we have 1/2 and x/100. Divide 100 by 2 to find x (as 1/2 of anything is dividing by 2).
100 / 2 = 50, so 1 1/2 = 1.50 as a decimal.

Now, let's try 5/8.
1/8 = 0.125, so multiply 0.125 by 5.
0.125 • 5 = 0.625.
5 5/8 = 5.625 as a decimal.

So, now we have our equation:
A = L • W
Plug in our numbers.
5.625 = 1.50x

To isolate and solve for x, we need to divide both sides by 1.50, so let's do that.
5.625 / 1.50 = 3.75
1.50x / 1.50 = x

We are now left with:
x = 3.75

Your answer is:
The patio's width is 3.75 yards.

I hope this helps!
