The price of tiling a room varies directly as the size of the room. Sam is laying tile in his kitchen. If the tiling costs $4,22

Answer:

239 ft².

Step-by-step explanation:

Let P represent the price for tiling.

Let S represent the size of the room.

From the question,

Price (P) varies directly as the size (S) i.e

P & S

P = KS

Where K is the constant of proportionality.

Next, we shall determine the value of K as follow

Price (P) = $ 4224

Size (S) = 264 ft²

Constant of proportionality (K) =?

P = KS

4224 = K × 264

Divide both side by 264

K = 4224/264

K = 16

Finally, we shall determine the size of the kitchen that will cost $ 3824 for tiling.

This is illustrated below:

Price (P) = $ 3824

Constant of proportionality (K) = 16

Size (S) =?

P = KS

3824 = 16 × S

Divide both side by 16

S = 3824/16

S = 239 ft²

Therefore, the size of the kitchen is 239 ft².

Which of the following is the graph of (x-2)^2 + (y+1)^2 = 9? (Brainly doesn't seem to want to let me put up pictures. Sorry guy
forsale [732]
If you want to cheat, paste the formula in Wolfram Alpha. However, this one is not that difficult. From the fact that x and y are squared you can infer that this is a circle. The 9 reveals that the radius r^2 is 9, so radius is 3.

The (x-2) tells us that the circle is shifted to the right by 2. Likewise, y+1 shifts it down by one. So the center is at (2,-1). If the equation would be x^2 + y^2 = 9, you'd have a circle exactly on the origin.

Hopefully this helps you break down the equation and pick the right picture!
