5. The width of a row of identical townhouses,

Mathematics
1 answer:
Serjik [45]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

a. The value of the constant k is 21

b. The equation is y = k * x, where k is the proportionality constant, "x" is the number of terraced houses and "y" is the width of a row of identical houses.

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

<em>A proportional relationship satisfies the equation y = k * x, where k is a positive constant and is called a proportionality constant. In this case "x" is the number of terraced houses and "y" is the width of a row of identical houses. </em>

The data you have is that the width of 5 townhouses are 105 feet. This means that the value of "x" is 5 houses and the value of "y" is 105 feet. By replacing in the equation y = k * x and isolating the constant k, you get:

<em>105=k*5 </em>

k=\frac{105}{5}

<em>k=21 </em>

<u><em>So the value of the constant k is 21.</em></u>

b.

<em>As mentioned, the equation is y = k * x, where k is the proportionality constant, "x" is the number of terraced houses and "y" is the width of a row of identical houses.</em>

This means that just as "x" increases, "y" increases. And that if "x" decreases, "y" will decrease. And this relationship between "x" e "and" will always be the same, determined by the value of the constant "k".

I need help please. How do I find the value of x?
Zina [86]
X = 58

The angle directly across from the 32 is also 32 degrees because it uses the same lines at the same angles. That's the Vertical Angles Theorem. The line straight across means that is 180 degrees, which is already split in half by the visible 90 degree angle (given by the box in the corner). Since all the angles are on the same side of the line, the 180 degree angle, they should add up to equal 180 degrees. Also, since 90 is half of 180, the 32 degree angle and the x angle should just add up to equal 90 degrees. So, 90 minus 32 equals 58.

A triangular road sign has a height of 3 feet and a base of 2.5 feet. How much larger in area is this sign than one with a heigh
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

Not larger or smaller; the areas are the same

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the formula for the area of a triangle of base b and height h is

A = (1/2)(b)(h).

In the first case, h = 3 ft and b = 2.5 ft.  This results in an area of 3.75 ft^2.

In the second case, h = 2.5 ft and b = 3 ft.  The area is the same:  3.75 ft^2.

This is because A = (1/2)(b)(h) has the same value regardless of the order in which b and h  are used as multipliers.

There is no difference in the areas of the two signs.  The areas are the same.
