The table shows the ratio of caramel corn to cheddar corn in a bag. What is the constant of proportionality?
2 answers:
For proportionality constant problems, set up the equation as,
,
Where x and y are the two variables you are comparing and <em>K </em>is the proportionality constant. If we take <em>Caramel Corn </em>values as x and <em>Cheddar Corn </em>values as y, and then solve for <em>K </em>for each ratio lines, we will get the same answer. Let's check.
,
, and
.
Hence, the proportionality constant, in this case <em>K,</em> is equal to or 1.5. First answer choice is correct.
ANSWER: 1.5

Substitute:
The lengths of the sides of the triangle are 8, 8, 20
Explanation:
Given that the perimeter of an isosceles triangle is 36 inches.
The base of the triangle is times longer than each of its legs.
We need to determine the lengths of the sides of the triangle.
<u>Lengths of the sides:</u>
Let x denote the lengths of the sides of the triangle.
The base of the triangle is given by
Perimeter of the isosceles triangle = Sum of the three sides of the triangle.
Thus, we have,
Thus, the length of the sides of the isosceles triangle is 8 inches.
Base of the triangle =
Hence, the three sides of the isosceles triangle are 8, 8, 20
Un parallelogramma è un quadrilatero avente i lati opposti paralleli (lato a = 10 cm, lato b = 12 cm);
La distanza tra i due lati paralleli si può considersre come l'altezza h (h=6)
L'area del parallelogramma é:
A= b×h = 12 cm × 6 cm = 72 cmq
La distanza tra i due lati paralleli si può considersre come l'altezza h (h=6)
L'area del parallelogramma é:
A= b×h = 12 cm × 6 cm = 72 cmq
