Answer:
k = 9/4
Step-by-step explanation:
To find k, use the equation
y = kx
Pick a point
72 = k *32
Divide each side by 32
72/32 = k
9/4 = k
You would plug in the y=9 into the first equation and then have the expression 9=9x-9
. After going through the first steps of solving an expression you would get 18=9x. X=2. Then you would plug in the x value into the first expression to get y=9.
Step-by-step explanation:
If y was directly proportional to x, the graph of y against x would pass through the origin (O).
Since the graph above does not show this, y is not directly proportional to x.
We are tasked to solve for the ratio of the two boxes. Boxes are cubes. We can use the formula in solving the surface area of the box as shown below:
Surface Area of Cube = 6a² where "a" is the length of the side.
For smaller box:
Area= 6(12)²=864
Area =864
For the larger box:
Area = 6(18)²
Area=1944
Then, the ratio is:
Area smaller box/Area larger box =864/1944
Ratio=4:9
