Variable y varies directly with variable x. If x = 12, then y = 3. What is the value of y

Mathematics

Monica [59]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

<h2>y = 2</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of y when x = 8 we must first find the relationship between the two variables.

The statement

y varies directly with variable x is written as

y = kx

where k is the constant of proportionality

when

x = 12

y = 3

Substitute the values into the above formula and solve for k

That's

3 = 12k

Divide both sides by 12

k =  \frac{1}{4}

So the formula for the variation is

y =  \frac{1}{4} x

when

x = 8

y =  \frac{1}{4}  \times 8

we have the final answer as

<h3>y = 2</h3>

Hope this helps you

What is the area of a regular hexagon (6 sides) whose
Ganezh [65]

Step-by-step explanation:

With reference to the regular hexagon, from the image above we can see that it is formed by six triangles whose sides are two circle's radii and the hexagon's side. The angle of each of these triangles' vertex that is in the circle center is equal to 360∘6=60∘ and so must be the two other angles formed with the triangle's base to each one of the radii: so these triangles are equilateral.

The apothem divides equally each one of the equilateral triangles in two right triangles whose sides are circle's radius, apothem and half of the hexagon's side. Since the apothem forms a right angle with the hexagon's side and since the hexagon's side forms 60∘ with a circle's radius with an endpoint in common with the hexagon's side, we can determine the side in this fashion:

tan60∘=opposed cathetusadjacent cathetus => √3=Apothemside2 => side=(2√3)Apothem

As already mentioned the area of the regular hexagon is formed by the area of 6 equilateral triangles (for each of these triangle's the base is a hexagon's side and the apothem functions as height) or:

Shexagon=6⋅S△=6(base)(height)2=3(2√3)Apothem⋅Apothem=(6√3)(Apothem)2

=> Shexagon=6×62√3=216

How many digits you need to write all 3 digit numbers
7nadin3 [17]

Answer: 720

Step-by-step explanation: if what you want are all possible three digit numbers with no repetition of the digits then you have 10 choices for the first digit, you have 9 choices for the 2nd digit, and you have 8 choices for the 3rd digit giving you 10x9x8 = 720 in all.
