In an inverse variation, the function takes the form xy=k
where k is a constant.
Given g(10)=3.5, we find k=xy=3.5*10=35.
This means the function is
m*g(m)=35
When g(m)=5, then m=35/5=7.
First find the circumference of the patio.
Diameter is πd.
8 x 3.14 = 25.12
210º is approximately 58%.
Multiply 25.12 by .58 to get approximately 14.7 meters.
Hope this helps!
A visual example of this is one my mother showed me. She drew a circle and laid out a piece of yarn around it so that it imitated the perfect shape of the circle. She laid out another piece that was as long as the circle's radius. She wrapped the longer piece around the shorter one, and I saw that it could wrap around it three times and still have at least 0.14 units left. I'm not sure if this helps, but the circumference of this circle is 18.84 cm ^2. I hope I answered your question.
Where/what slopes are I talking about?
