Question

Identify the independent and dependent variables. The equation A=25w gives the area A (in square feet) of a rectangular dance floor with a width of w feet.

Answer 1

Answer:

The dependent variable is A

The independent variable is w

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$A = 25w$

Required

Identify the variables

In $A = 25w$

The value of w is independent of the value of A.

In other words:

A derive its own value from w; by multiplying 25 and w.

Take for instance:

$w = 3$

The value of A would be:

$A = 25 * 3$

$A = 75$

Hence:

The dependent variable is A

The independent variable is w
