Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
Proportionality between skein values
8:2=4:1
Proportionality between cost values
28:7=4:1
The variation(both the skein values and cost values) has the constant of 4 ie the 1st skein value × 4= the last skein value & the 1st cost value × 4=the last cost value
Your answer is 1/16
(X×6)/6 =3/8
(X×6)/6 =(3/8)/6
So you can you the Pythagorean theorem to solve this problem.
if each side of the square is a certain length x, then the square is made up of two right triangles.
the sides adjacent to the right angle are length x while the hypoteneus is the diagonal whcih measures 36 feet.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
x^2 + x^2 = 36^2
2x^2 = 1296
x^2 = 648
x = 25.456
area of a square = x^2 = 648 ft^2
