Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: I hope i'm right

y \alpha  x\\y=kx....(1)\\6=72k\\\frac{6}{72} =\frac{72k}{72} \\\\1/12 =k\\y = 1/12x=relationship-between;x-and;y\\x =8 , y =?\\y = \frac{8}{12} \\Cross-Multiply\\12y =8\\12y/12 = 8/12\\\\y = 2/3

Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for direct variation is: y = kx, where k is a constant.

Here, we see that y varies directly with x when y = 6 and x = 72, so let's plug these values into the formula to find k:

y = kx

6 = k * 72

k = 6/72 = 1/12

So, k = 1/12. Now our formula is y = (1/12)x. Plug in 8 for x to find y:

y = (1/12)x

y = (1/12) * 8 = 8/12 = 2/3

Thus, y = 2/3.

Area of square = 24cm²
⇒ Length = √24 

Find the diagonal of half the square:
a² + b² = c²
c² = (0.5√24)² + (√24)²
c² = 6 + 24
c² = 30
c = √30

The diagonal of half of the square is the radius of the circle.
⇒ radius = √30

Area of the semicircle = 1/2πr² = 1/2π(√30)² =15π

Answer: 15π²
