X-1/2=15 1/4

15  1/4 = 15*4 + 1 = 61/4

61/4

x - 1/2 = 61/4
    +1/2   +1/2

61/4 + 2/4 = 63/4

x = 63/4

Why is the value of q?
Rudiy27

Given:

QSR is a right triangle.

QT = 10

TR = 4

To find:

The value of q.

Solution:

Hypotenuse of QSR = QT + TR

                                 = 10 + 4

                                 = 14

Geometric mean of similar right triangle formula:

$\frac{\text { hypotenuse }}{\text { leg }}=\frac{\text { leg }}{\text { part }}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{14}{q} =\frac{q}{4}

Do cross multiplication.

$\Rightarrow14\times 4 =q\times q

$\Rightarrow 56 =q^2

Switch the sides.

$\Rightarrow q^2 =56

Taking square root on both sides.

\Rightarrow q =2 \sqrt{14}

The value of q is 2 \sqrt{14}.

Question:

The quantities x and y are proportional.

x y

5.8 7.5

11.2

Find the constant of proportionality (r) in the equation y=rx

Answer:

The constant of proportionality is 75/58 or 1.29

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The table above

Required

Find the constant of proportionality

The question has an incomplete table but it can still be solved because x and y are proportional.

Given that

y = rx

Make r the subject of formula

Divide through by x

y/x = rx

y/x = r

r = y/x

When y = 7.5, x = 5.8

Substitute these values

r = y/x becomes

r = 7.5/5.8

Multiply denominator and numerator by 10

r = (7.5 * 10)/(5.8 * 10)

r = 75/58

In this case, it's best to leave the answer in fraction.

However, it can be solved further.

r = 75/58

r = 1.29 (Approximated)

Hence, the constant of proportionality is 75/58 or 1.29
