Y = kx
so
k = y/x

<span>y is 20 when x is 4
k = 20/4 = 5

Answer
The </span><span>constant of variation for the relation = 5</span>

Hi there!

y ∝ x

∴ y = kx ---(i)
Where " k " is the constant of variation & k ≠ 0

Now to determine " k ".
Use the given condition that when :

• x = 4
• y = 20

Substitute th' respective values in Eqn. (i) :-

y = kx

⇒ 20 = k(4)

⇒ 4k = 20

⇒ k = \dfrac {20}{4} = 5

Hence,
The constant of variation for the relation is 5

~ Hope it helps!

Find the area of the shaded region
zepelin [54]

Answer:

area of a circle πr^2

r = 10/2 r = 5

π5^2 = 78.5

area of the square length X width

7 x 7 = 49

78.5 - 49 = 29.5

shaded region = 29.5 square cm

Find the area of triangle ABC when b= 141 degrees a= 7 and c=8
Vlad [161]
  You basically use the formula height*base/2 to find the area of the triangle. For instance, let's say a is your chosen base, which has a length of 7. You then use the pythagorean theorem of the right triangle (which is formed by splitting the triangle in half), which is a^2+b^2=c^2, and you substitute half your base for a and the other length (8) for c, which is the hypotenuse of the triangle. Note how this is all being done to find "b", which is the height of the triangle, which will then help you substitute all of your known values into the area formula of a triangle to answer your question. I'm not sure if b=141 degrees would have an impact on this question, but I hope this helped you in some way.

If y varies jointly with x and z and y=40 when x=10 and z=9 find z when x =55 and y=105
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

  z = 189/44

Step-by-step explanation:

The "varies jointly" relationship can be expressed by ...

  y = kxz

We can find k from the given values.

  40 = k(10)(9)

  40/90 = k = 4/9 . . . divide by the coefficient of k

Now we want to find z for given values of x and y. That can be found from ...

  y = (4/9)xz

  9y/(4x) = z . . . . . multiply by 9/(4x)

Filling in the new numbers, we have ...

  z = 9·105/(4·55)

  z = 4 13/44 = 189/44 ≈ 4.2954...(repeating 54)
