If y varies jointly with x and z, what is the constant of proportionality when y=30, x=4, and z=5?

So, if y varies jointly with x and z, that implies a direct proportionality.

The equation will look something like this:

y = xzk

"k" is the constant of proportionality.

Now, when y = 30, x =4, and z = 5:

30 = (4)(5)k

Multiplied:

30 = 20k

divided 30 by 20:

3/2 = k

So your final answer is:

The constant of proportionality in the equation y = xzk when y = 30, x = 4, and z = 5, is 3/2 or 1.5.

Hope that helps!

How do i reduce a shape by using the scale factor 2:1
bearhunter [10]

Answer: i think you're talking about dilations and there are specific formulas depending on the situation.

for example: the dilation of (x,y) is (-1/2x, -1/2y).

you'd probably need to subtract 2 from whatever measurements of the shape you're working with. i'm not completely sure though

Stanley, the skunk, is traveling from point A to point B by taking a shortcut through the pond.A path that avoids the pond is 25
san4es73 [151]
Stanley the skunk will save about 15.5 feet.

This problem can be solve with the Pythagorean Theorem. The possible paths that Stanley can take make a right triangle. The legs of the triangle are 25 and 28, and the hypotenuse would be 37.5.

If Stanley went the long way, he would travel 25 + 28 = 53 feet. Taking the short way (hypotenuse) is 53 - 37.5 = 15.5 feet shorter.
