Answer:

x = $\frac{22}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that y varies directly with x then the equation relating them is

y = kx ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition y = - 6 when x = 2, then

- 6 = 2k ( divide both sides by 2 )

- 3 = k

y = - 3x ← equation of variation

When y = - 22, then

- 22 = - 3x ( divide both sides by - 3 )

x = $\frac{-22}{-3}$ = $\frac{22}{3}$

Find the volume of the garden shed

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

47.3 m³

Step-by-step explanation:

The garden shed is made up of a rectangular prism and a pyramid.

<h3><u>Volume of a rectangular prism</u></h3>

$\begin{aligned}\textsf{Volume of a rectangular prism}&=\sf width \times length \times height\\&=4 \times 4 \times 2\\&=16 \times 2\\&=32\;\; \sf m^3\end{aligned}$

<h3><u>Volume of a pyramid</u></h3>

<u />

From inspection of the given diagram, the slant height of the pyramid is 3.5 m.

Calculate the perpendicular height of the pyramid using Pythagoras Theorem:

$\begin{aligned}\implies a^2+b^2&=c^2\\2^2+h^2&=3.5^2\\h^2&=8.25\\h&=\sqrt{8.25}\;\; \sf m\end{aligned}$

Therefore:

$\begin{aligned}\textsf{Volume of a pyramid}&=\dfrac{\sf length \times width \times height}{3}\\\\&=\dfrac{\sf 4 \times 4 \times \sqrt{8.25}}{3}\\\\& = 15.31883372\;\; \sf m^3\end{aligned}$

<h3><u>Volume of the garden shed</u></h3>

$\begin{aligned}\implies \textsf{Volume of shed}&=\textsf{Volume of rectangular prism}+\textsf{Volume of pyramid}\\&=32+15.31883372\\& = 47.3\;\; \sf m^3\;(nearest\;tenth)\end{aligned}$
