What is the essential question?
Answer:
k = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a varies directly as b then the equation relating them is
a = kb ← k is the constant of variation
To find k use the condition a = 8 when b = 2
k = 
= 
= 4
Answer:
The value of k is 5/8
Step-by-step explanation:
The value of k is found by dividing the numerator of the original ratio, 5, by the sum of the numerator and denominator of the ratio
When finding a point, P, to partition a line segment AB into the ratio a/b, we find a ratio c = a / (a + b)
According to this formula we find the value of k.
k = a/(a+b)
where a = 5
b = 3
Now plug the values in the formula:
k = 5/(5+3)
k = 5/8 ....
Answer: a) The figure can be reasonably divided into two geometries:
• a rectangular prism
• a hemisphere.
b) The volume of the rectangular prism is given by
V = lwh
V = (10 cm)(5 cm)(4 cm) = 200 cm³
The volume of the hemisphere is given by
V = (2π/3)r³
V = (2π/3)(3 cm)³ = 18π cm³
c) The total volume of the figure is
total volume = (prism volume) + (hemisphere volume)
V = 200 cm³ + 18π cm³
V ≈ 256.549 cm³
