<h3>Answer:  y = 12/(x^2)</h3>

============================================================

Explanation:

"y varies inversely as x^2" means y = k/(x^2) for some constant k.

Plug in (x,y) = (2,3) and solve for k

y = k/(x^2)

3 = k/(2^2)

3 = k/4

3*4 = k

12 = k

k = 12

The original equation updates to y = 12/(x^2)

As a check, plugging in x = 2 should lead to y = 3

y = 12/(x^2)

y = 12/(2^2)

y = 12/4

y = 3 ... we get the proper y value, so the answer is confirmed.

madam [21]
The first side is 10 inches
the side parallel to this is (10×2)= 20 inches
Height is half the length=1/2×20=10 inches
The area of trapezium is given by:
Area=1/2×h×(a+b)
where a and b are the sides, h is the height. Thus the area will be:
Area=1/2×10×(20+10)
=1/2×10×30
=150 sq. inches

Please helpppp I’m not sure how to solve
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

If a is 1.. we substitute one in every a in g(a)

4 * 1 + 16

4+ 16 = 20

g(a)= 20

f(20)

-16 + 20 = 4

and 4/4 = 1

so f (g (a)) = a

Find the vertex of an angle of an isosceles triangle if one base angle is 8 less than half the vertex?
skad [1K]
Vertex angle = x
1 base angle = 1/2x - 8

180-x = (1/2x-8)x2
180-x = x-16
196-x = x
196 = 2x
x=98

Which relationship describes angles 1 and 2? Select each correct answer. A)adjacent angles
Talja [164]
Hey there!

As you can see, they are lying on the same line.

When two angles are on the same straight line, they are adjacent. 

Adjacent angles 
are supplmentary. 

Adjacent angles= 180 degrees Supplementary= 180 degrees

They are choices "A" and "B". 

I hope this helps!
