Keywords:

<em>Variation constant, directly proportional, temperature, pressure </em>

For this case, we must find the constant of variation, knowing that the pressure is directly proportional to the temperature, knowing the values of pressure and temperature. So, we have:

P = aK

Where "a" is the constant of variation or constant of proportionality

If P = 7 \frac {lb} {in ^ 2}\\T = 420K

Substituting:

7 \frac {lb} {in ^ 2} = a*420K

Clearing to:

a = \frac {7} {420} \frac {lb} {K * in ^ 2}, if we divide by 7 the numerator and denominator we have:

Thus, the constant of variation is given by:

a = \frac {1} {60} \frac {lb} {K * in ^ 2}

Answer:

The variation constant is given by: a = \frac {1} {60} \frac {lb} {K * in ^ 2}

Write an equation from the information given: A rectangle is twice as long as it is wide. The perimeter of the rectangle is 18.
Agata [3.3K]

Let width = x, Therefore the length must equal 2x

Therefore insert these values on the sides of a rectangle.

Add: 2x + 2x + x + x = 18

Therefore 6x = 18

x = 3
