First symmetrically cut the pentagon to get 5 pieces. (So that you will get the idea that this polygon is divided into 5 triangles)
Then find the area of one of the triangles:
Area of Triangle =
A = × 4 × 10
A = 20 m²
To find the area of the whole pentagon shape:
A = 20 × 5 = 100 m²

So, this is a proportion problem. If we express 75% as a fraction (3/4ths), we have:
Since he won all of his games, we add the number won (x), to the number previously won and divide it by the total games played which is just the previous games played plus the number of current games played, so since he lost no games we still add x to the denominator as well. Solving this gives us:
That x value is 20.
In the given equation, as the value of <em>y</em> increase, the value of <em>x</em> also
increases.
Reasons:
A direct variation is a relationship that exists between two variables. It is
also known as a direct proportion which can be expressed as; y = k·x
Where <em>k</em> is a number
The given equation is 4·y = 16·x
Dividing both sides by 4 gives;
Which gives;
y = 4·x
Comparing the above equation with the equation for a direct variation gives;
y = 4·x
y = k·x
Therefore;
k = 4
The equation, y = 4·x, and therefore, the equation from which it is derived, 4·y = 16·x, is a direct variation.
