Answer:

the constant of variation,  k= 5/7

Step-by-step explanation:

if m varies directly as p, and m=5 when p=7, what is the constant of variation

m varies directly as p, so equation becomes

m = kp , where k is the constant of proportionality

m=5 when p=7, we need to find out k

Plug in the given values and find out k

m=k * p

5= k * 7

Divide by 7 on both sides

so k= 5/7

For direct relations, we can write:
m = kp; k is the constant of proportionality.
5 = 7k
k = 5/7
The constant of variation is 5/7.

Find the area of the shaded portion in the circle.
Anastasy [175]
See the attached picture to better understand the problem

we know that
<span>the area of the shaded portion in the circle=area 1+area 2

step 1
find area 1
area 1=area of semi circle
area 1=pi*r</span>²/2
diameter=12 units
radius r=12/2----> 6 units

r=6 units
area 1=pi*6²/2----> 56.52 units²

step 2
find the area 2

area 2=area sector CADC-area triangle ACD

in the right triangle ABC
BC=3
AC=r-----> AC=6
AB=?
applying Pythagoras Theorem
AC²=AB²+BC²------> AB²=6²-3²-----> AB²=27----> AB=3√3 units
area triangle ACD=b*h/2
b=2*3√3---> 6√3 units
h=3 units
area triangle ACD=6√3*3/2----> 9√3 units²-----> 15.59 units²

find the angle ACB
tan ∠ACB=AB/BC-----> 3√3/3---> √3
∠ACB=arc tan (√3)-----> 60°

the central angle ACD=60*2-----> 120°


area of sector CADC=(120/360)*pi*r²----> (120/360)*pi*6²---> 37.68 units²
area 2=area sector CADC-area triangle ACD
area 2=37.68-15.59----> 22.09 units²

step 3
the area of the shaded portion in the circle=area 1+area 2
the area of the shaded portion in the circle= 56.52 +22.09----> 78.61 units²

the answer is
the area of the shaded portion is 78.61 units²

A ladder leaning against a wall makes a 60° angle with the ground. The base of the ladder is 3 m from the building. How high abo
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

The distance is 5.20m

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the height of the ladder

To get this, we need to understand that we have a right triangle, with the base of the triangle as 3 m, the angle at the downward part is 60, and we want to get the height of the triangle

The angle here faces the height we want to calculate

This height is known as the opposite

What we have is the adjacent

Now, the trigonometric identity that relates the opposite and the adjacent is the tan

The tangent of an angle is the ratio of the opposite to the adjacent

Mathematically;

tan 60 = h/3

h = 3 tan 60

h = 5.20 m

The ladder is at a height of 5.20 m above the ground
