Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A direct variation equation is of the form

y = kx,

where, in words, it reads "y varies directly with x" or "y varies directly as x". In order to use this as a model, we have to have enough information to solve for k, the constant of variation. The constant of variation is kind of like the slope in a straight line. It rises or falls at a steady level; it is the rate of change.

We have that a vet gives a dose of three-fifths mg to a 30 pound dog. If the dose varies directly with the weight of the dog, then our equation is

d = kw and we need to find k in order to have the model for dosing the animals.

\frac{3}{5} =k(30)

Divide both sides by 1/30 to get k alone.

(\frac{1}{30})(\frac{3}{5})=k and

k=\frac{1}{50}

Our model then is

d=\frac{1}{50}w

This means that for every pound of weight, the dog will get one-fiftieth of a mg of medicine.

Length x width is the formula.
so 18 x 18 for 7.
22 x 24 for 8.
and 8 would probably be 5 x 5 to equal 20. so the length and width would be 5 and 5 because 20 is the area
