"y varies directly as x" means y = kx
you do not know what k is yet, other than that it is some constant number.
Now plug in the given values, y=12 when x=4, in the equation
12 = 4k
=> k = 3
Now rewrite the equation with the k value you just found
y = 3k
Substitute 18 in place of x
y = 3(18)
y = 54
Answer:
2a times the sq root of 2a or 2a (2a)**1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
(8a**3)**1/2 =
((2**2 * 2) (a**2) (a))**1/2 then take out and squares
2a (2a)**1/2
or 2a times the sq root of 2a
The equation is

If you put in the numbers you get

This comes to 1056. So the answer is 1056 in^2
