Answer:

The joint variation says that:

y \propto x and y \propto \frac{1}{z}

then equation is in the form of:

y = k\frac{x}{z} where, k is the constant of variation.

As per the statement:

As y varies jointly with w and x and inversely with z

By definition joint variation we have;

y = k\frac{wx}{z}, .....[1]   where k is the constant of variation.

Given: y = 320 when w = 6 , x = 20 and z = 3

Solve for k

Substitute these in [1] we have;

320 = k\frac{6(20)}{3}

⇒320 = k \cdot 2 \cdot 20

⇒320 = 40k

Divide both sides by 40 we have;

8 = k

or

k = 8

Then the constant of variation is. 8 and the equation of variation is,

y =8 \cdot \frac{wx}{z}

I suppose we are to determine the proportionality constant of the variation. The equation for this proportionality is,
                          y = kwx / z
Substituting the known values,
                            320 = k(6)(20)/3
The value of k from the equation is 8.

Classify the triangle with the given side lengths as acute, right, obtuse, or not a triangle:
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

It is not a right triangles because 15^2 + 13^2 is NOT EQUAL to 19^2

let x, y, and z be the angles inside the triangle.

Law of cosines says:

19^2 = 13^2 + 15^2 - 2(13)(15)cos x

361 = 169 + 225 - 390 cos x

-33 = -390 cos x

-33/-390 = cos x

11/130 = cos x

x = inverse cosine (11/130)

= 85.14609471338569.....

Per law of sines:

sin x/19 = sin y / 13

(13/19)sinx = sin y

inverse_sine ( (13/19) sin x) = y

y = 42.9810733896016548....

Per law of sines

sin x/19 = sin z / 15

z = inverse_sine( (15/19) sin x)

= 51.8728352950227805....

So it is an acute triangle and yes, these angles add up to 180
