Answer:

The legs of a 45 45 90 triangle are congruent so if one leg is x we can write (using the Pythagorean Theorem):

x² + x² = 18²

2x² = 324

x² = 162

x = 9√2

Determine whether or not the equation shows a proportional relationship. If it does, identify the unit rate (constant of proport
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

y = 25·x shows a proportional relationship

a = 5·x + 5 does not show a proportional relationship

m = 105.25·n shows a proportional relationship

Step-by-step explanation:

An equation that shows a proportional relationship is of the form, y = kx

Where;

k = The constant of proportionality = y/x

Therefore, the equation, y = 25·x shows a proportional relationship

The constant of proportionality = k = y/x = 25

Similarly, the equation m = 105.25·n shows a proportional relationship

The constant of proportionality = k = m/n = 105.25

When the equation shows a proportional relationship, the graph of the equation passes through the origin, therefore, the equation of the form, y = m·x + c, where c = the y-intercept > 0, the equation does not show a proportional relationship

The equation a = 5·x + 5, which is of the form, y = m·x + c, with c = 5 > 0, therefore, does not show a proportional relationship.

Therefore;

y = 25·x shows a proportional relationship

m = 105.25·n shows a proportional relationship

a = 5·x + 5 does not show a proportional relationship.

Suppose you have $100 in a savings account earning 2 percent interest a year. After five years, would you have more than $102, e
pentagon [3]
You would have more than $102.

Earning 2% a year in interest would get you $2 in interest the very first year:

100(0.02) = 2

Adding this to the amount in the account, you would have 100+2 = 102 after the first year.
