Answer:

The constant of proportionality is:

k = 5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that when y varies directly with x, we get

y ∝ x

y = kx

k = y/x

where 'k' is called the constant of proportionality

From the graph, it is clear that the point (2/5, 1/2) passes through the line which represents the direct relationship.

so we have the point (2/5, 1/2), and

x = 2/5

y = 1/2

so substituting x = 2/5 and y = 1/2 in the equation

k = y/x

k = [1/2] / [2/5]

k = [1 × 5 ] / [2 × 2 ]

k = 5/4

Therefore, the constant of proportionality is:

k = 5/4

Name the line and plane shown in the diagram. A.AB and plane ABD B.BA and plane DC C.AC and plane ABD D.AB and plane DA

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer: The line is AB and the plane is ABD, the first option is the correct one.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, first some definitions.

A line is any line that crosses two colinear points. Particularly, you can see in the graph that the line crosses through A and B, so the line is AB.

A plane needs 3 non-colinear points (if the points where colinear, then the points may define a line). Other definition of plane is "a line and a point that is not in the line"

So, if our line is AB, then the possible planes are:

ABC and ABD.

then the correct option is:

Line AB and plane ABD, so the correct option is the first one.

Solve the right triangle, ΔABC, for all the missing side and angles to the nearest tenth given sides a = 10.6 and b = 19.2.

Aliun [14]

Answer:

Part 1) $c=21.9\ units$

Part 2) $B=61.1\°$

Part 3) $A=28.9\°$

Part 4) $C=90\°$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the length side c

Applying the Pythagoras Theorem

$c^{2}=a^{2}+b^{2}$

substitute the given values

$c^{2}=10.6^{2}+19.2^{2}$

$c^{2}=481$

$c=21.9\ units$

step 2

Fin the measure of angle B

we know that

In the right triangle

$tan(B)=b/a$

substitute the given values

$tan(B)=19.2/10.6$

$B=arctan(19.2/10.6)=61.1\°$

step 3

Find the measure of angle A

we know that

The measure of interior angles in a triangle must be equal to 180 degrees

∠A+∠B+∠C=180°

Remember that in a right triangle the measure of angle C is 90 degrees

we have

$B=61.1\°$

$C=90\°$

substitute

$A+61.1\°+90\°=180\°$

$A=28.9\°$
