Notice the picture below
the lateral area, or just the area of the sides, well, the sides are really just 4 triangles, so just get the area of each, and sum them up, that's the lateral area
 
        
        
        
Directly proportional, both increase/decrease, Multiple k(constant you needed to solve for)..
Inversely --one increases as the other decreases, increase the denominator & fraction gets smaller.... So
 
Problem: 
Dirextly to X (× by X)
 
Inversely to Y, (÷ by Y) 
 
Z= k X/Y
 
Solve, working backwards: Z =5 becomes
 5 = k (X) ÷ (Y). And 
X=15 and Y =9 becomes
 
5= k(15)/(9). Undo ÷9, ×9 both sides
45= k(15). Now undo ×15 by ÷15 both sides
 
45/15 = 3. So k=3, (also called your constant of variation)....and your Equation/Proportion becomes...
 
Z = 3X/Y
 
Use the new #s.... X=23, Y=14
 
Z= 3×23÷14 = 69/14. If they want spirochete answer divide and round to corresponding # if decimals
 
        
             
        
        
        
If the discount is 15 percent, he still pays (100-15) or 85%
125.99 * 85%
125.99 * .85 = 107.09  is the price he pays for the rod
107.09 * .03 =3.21 is the sales tax
107.09+3.21=110.30 is the price of the rod with the discount and the tax
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
Since the slope of the line is (31/4 - 25/4) / (5/4 - 3/4) = 3 that means that for every 1 that x increases, y increases by 3 so an example could be 1 3/4 for x and 9 1/4 for y.
