We call the ratio between two directly proportional quantities the constant of proportionality. When two quantities are directly proportional, they increase and decrease at the same rate. While these two quantities may increase or decrease, the constant of proportionality always remains the same.
For this case we can model the problem as a rectangle triangle.
We have:
Length of the sides of the triangle.
We want to find:
Length of the hypotenuse.
Using the Pythagorean theorem we have:
Answer:
She is:
miles far from her starting point
20%
This is because 20 and it's opposite -20 is 40. (20 - -20 = 40). Then 40 is 20% of 200.
