Constant is the scale term in proportionality. Suppose one variable is dependent on the other and one variable become twice, other becomes also twice and if one becomes half, other too becomes half., but they are two different variables which are no-where linked (like cost(money) vs quantity). Quantity and cost are two different things but they abridge a mathematical relation of proportionality. So in the mathematics to abridge these two different variables, we need something. Constant serves that purpose.
A^2 + b^2 = c^2...a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse
20^2 + 21^2 = c^2
400 + 441 = c^2
841 = c^2
sqrt 841 = c
29 = c <== third straw will be 29 cm

Answer:
x=3 and x=-1.25
Step-by-step explanation:
4x^2-7x=15
subtract 15 from each side:
4x^2-7x-15=0
factor (trying different numbers that the sum is 7 and the quotient is 15)
(2x-6 )(2x+2.5 )=0
2x-6=0 add 6 to each side
2x=6
x=3
2x+2.5=0 subtract 2.5 from each side
2x=-2.5
x=-1.25
