<h2><u>Problem Solving</u>:-</h2>
2. The table below shows that the distance d varies directly as the time t. Find the constant of variation and the equation which describes the relation.
<h2><u>Solution</u>:-</h2>
Since the distance d varies directly as the time t, then d = kt.
Using one of the pairs of values, (2, 20), from the table, substitute the values of d and t in d = kt and solve for k.
<h2><u>Answer</u>:-</h2>
- Therefore, the constant of variation is 10.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since, y varies directly as x:
Answer:
90 sq inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The lateral area is the side area of the pyramid. In this case, there are 3 sides because the base is a triangle. Since the base is an equilateral triangle, all sides are of equal dimensions. So, the sides of the pyramid are also all of the same size, area.
We then just have to figure out the area of one of the side triangles, then multiply it by 3 to get the total lateral area of that pyramid.
We know how to calculate the area of a triangle: A = (b * h)/2
In this case, b = 5 in, h = 12 in. So,
TA = (5 * 12)/2 = 60 / 2 = 30
Each side triangle has an area of 30 sq inches.
LA = 3 * TA (since there are 3 sides)
LA = 3 * 30 = 90 sq inches
