Answer:

The constant of proportionality for the box is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

  Given : The volume of a box (V) varies directly with its length (l). If the box has a volume of 90 cubic inches and a length of 15 inches.

We have to find the constant of proportionality for the box.

Since, The volume of a box (V) varies directly with its length (l)

Mathematically written as  V ∝ l

For removing proportionality, we multiply a proportionality constant k,

Thus, the equation V ∝ l

Becomes V = k l

Also given volume of 90 cubic inches and a length of 15 inches.

Substitute, V = 90 , and l = 15

We have,

90 = k (15)

Divide both side by 15, we get,

k = 6

Thus,  the constant of proportionality for the box is 6.

How do you prove that a point on a perpendicular bisector is equidistant from the endpoints of the segment it intersects?
konstantin123 [22]
Check the picture drawn

Consider the line segment AB, 

let M be the midpoint of AB, so AM=MA

erect the perpendicular MT to AB from point M. Pick a point P on MT and join it to the points A and B

The triangles PMA and PMB are congruent from the Side Angle Side congruence postulate:

AM=MA, PM is common and m(PMA)=m(PMB)=90°, as MT is perpendicular to AB

so PA=PB

The mean of a set of data is 3.77 and its standard deviation is 3.39. Find the z score for a value of 6.19
melomori [17]
Z = (x - mu)/sigma
z = (6.19 - 3.77)/3.39
z = 0.71386430678467
z = 0.71

The approximate z score, rounded to two decimal places, is 0.71
