Given:
a varies jointly as b and c.
a=6 when b=2 and a=3.
To find:
The variation constant and the equation of variation.
Solution:
a varies jointly as b and c.

...(i)
Where, k is the constant of proportionality.
a=6 when b=2 and a=3.




The value of k is 1.
Putting k=1 in (i), we get


Therefore, the variation constant is 1 and the equation of variation is
.
Start at 0 and move to point P. To do this, we simply move left 1/8 of a unit. Similarly, we move 1/8 of a unit to go from 0 to point Q
So the distance from P to 0 is the same as the distance from Q to 0.
Therefore, the absolute values are the same
Answer: Choice A) Jay is correct because each point is 1/8 a unit away from 0
The formula:
A = bh + L (s1 + s2 + s3)
A: area
b: base
h: height
L: length
s1: side 1 (cross-sectional area)
s2: side 2 (cross-sectional area)
s3: side 3 (cross-sectional area)
Here’s an example (see attached image)
A = (4 x 6) + (12 x [7 + 7 + 4])
A = (24) + (12 x 18)
A = 24 + 216
A = 240cm^2
I hope this helped? Comment if you need more explanation or anything!
