<em>Comment on the problem</em>
It seems more likely that the proportion should be written as ...
y = 42h
or
h = y/42
Then the constant would be the number of yards of yarn required for each hat.

Now, If the exponent was negative like you asked....
Answer:
8=41
7=49
10=41
9=49
Step-by-step explanation:
angle 8 is given and since 7 and 8 make 90 then 7 =49 because 90-41=49. 10 and 8 are the same size (at least it looks like it) therefore 7 and 9 are the same too. So that is how I got the answers.
