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.

Please help! Have had 10 attempts and still haven't got it!

Answer:

28

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of the shaded region, you have to start off with the area of the whole triangle. To find that, you multiply the height and length. length=10 height=8 (10x8=80). Then, since it's a triangle, you have to divide it by two (80/2=40). So, 40 is the area of the whole triangle. Then, you find the area of the white region, which is 12 (3x4=12). Finally, you take the area of the white square and subtract it from the area of the whole triangle (80-12=28). You would get 28.
