Answer:

y = 9.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Since both triangles are said to be similar, the proportion or ratio of the sides of both triangles would be equal.

Therefore, 39/y = 23/5.75 = 35/8.75

Let's find y

39/y = 23/5.75

==>Cross multiply

39*5.75 = 23*y

224.25 = 23y

==>Divide both sides by 23

224.25/23 = y

9.75 = y

y = 9.75

Check:

Thus,

39/9.75 = 23/5.75 = 35/8.75 = 4

Our answer y, which is 9.75, is correct.

Veronika [31]

Answer:

$p= kd^{2}u^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Using k as the constant of proportionality.

The expression that expresses the relationship : p varies jointly with the square of d and the cube of u.

Varies jointly means that p will change as 'd' and 'u' will change together with respect to their powers.

We get the expression as:

$p= kd^{2}u^{3}$
