Hi Jessicaprado539!
The constant proportionality of this equation would be the value that relates the two amounts. In this case, that would be 2/3
To find the area of any regular (regular means all sides are = and all angles are =) poylgon when you know the length of the apothem and the length of the side you can use the formula:
A = (1/2)ap where a = the length of the apothem and p = the perimeter of the polygon. You can also use n*s in place of p where n = the number of sides of the polygon and s = the length of the side.
A= (1/2)(16)(19*8) (An octagon has 8 sides.)
A = 1216 in^2
The answer is <span>x - 1 = 3x + 9
All steps are:
</span>Step 1: 4ˣ⁻¹ = 64ˣ⁺³<span>
Step 2: 4</span>ˣ⁻¹ = (4³)ˣ⁺³ <span>
Step 3: 4</span>ˣ⁻¹ = 4³ˣ⁺⁹
Step 4: x - 1 = 3x + 9
Step 5: x - 3x = 1 + 9
Step 6: -2x = 10
Step 7: x = 10/-2
Step 8: x = -5
