We are given that:
side length = 8 3/2 inches = 9.5 inches
the rule for the area is: A = s^2
Substitute with the side length in the rule given to get the area as follows:
Area = s^2 = (9.5)^2 = 90.25 inch^2
Answer: 4 I think . not sure
Step-by-step explanation:
Is it a yardstick? It has 2 ft of the edges and one ft in the middle.
Direct variation is of the form y=kx. We are given the point (8, -4) so we can solve for k, the constant of variation...
-4=8k, divide both sides by 8
-4/8=k
k=-0.5, so our equation is:
y=-0.5x,
I think you need to post a graphic.
