Answer:

variation constant = k = 8

equation of variation : y = 8x

Step-by-step explanation:

Any relationship of variation can be written as y = kx

where k is the variation constant.

_______________________________________

Let the equationof relation between y and x be y =kx here as well

given

y = 16 when x = 2

substituting this value in the equation y = kx

16 = k*2

=> k = 16/2 = 8

Thus,

variation constant = k = 8

equation of variation : y = 8x

David earns $11 an hour. He was scheduled to work 35 hours. However, he picked up an additional 7 hour shift. He is paid double

zhenek [66]

You have in total 42 hours so 2 of those hours are double time so you do 40•11 and then add 22•2 (22 is the double time) so you’re answer is $484

A new business center in town was built in a shape of a regular nonagon. Each side is 160 feet long which is the area occupied b

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

158,254.08 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

A nonagon is a polygon with 9 sides and 9 angles. A regular nonagon has all equal sides and all equal angles. In order to find the area of a nonagon, you can use the formula:

A = $\frac{9}{4}a^{2}cot(\frac{180}{9})$ where 'a' represents the length of one side

Calculating the known measurements ahead of time, we get a condensed, or simplified formula:

A = 6.1818 x a²

Using the side length of 160 ft:

A = 6.1818 x 160² = 158,254.08 ft²
