Using the Pythagorean theorem a^2 + b^2 = c^2
where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse
so a = 6 and c = 8
lets solve for b
6^2 + b^2 = 8^2
36 + b^2 = 64
b^2 = 64 - 36
b^2 = 28
b = sqrt(28)
b = 5.29
b = 5.3 yards
The constant of proportionality is equal to k in y=kx. In y=10x, the k value is 10.
Final answer: C. 10
Sqrt14 = 3.74165
smallest integer above = 4
