The constant of variation is 4032

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Let a rectangle (say A) has length of rectangle(l)= 72 cm and width of rectangle(w) = 56 cm.

Area of rectangle is multiply its length by its width.

Then,

area of rectangle (A) = $l \times w$ = $72 \times 56$ = 4,032 square cm.

It is given that the other rectangle B has the same area as the rectangle A.

Then, the area of rectangle (B) = area of rectangle (A) = 4,032 square cm. .......[1]

First find the length of rectangle B:

Given: width of the rectangle B is 21 cm

then, by definition

Area of rectangle B = $l \times w$ = $l \times 21$

From [1];

4032 = $l \times 21$

Divide 21 both sides we get;

$l =\frac{4032}{21} = 192$ cm

therefore, the length of rectangle B is 192 cm

To find the constant variation:

if y varies inversely as x

i.e, $y \propto \frac{1}{x}$

⇒ $y = \frac{k}{x}$ where k is the constant variation.

or k = xy

As area of rectangle is multiply its length by width.

This is the inversely variation.

as: $l \propto \frac{1}{w}$

or $l = \frac{A}{w}$ where A is the constant of variation

Since, the area (A) of both the rectangles are constant.

therefore, the constant of variation is, 4032

The constant of variation is 4032

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Let a rectangle (say A) has length of rectangle(l)= 72 cm and width of rectangle(w) = 56 cm.

Area of rectangle is multiply its length by its width.

Then,

area of rectangle (A) = = = 4,032 square cm.

It is given that the other rectangle B has the same area as the rectangle A.

Then, the area of rectangle (B) = area of rectangle (A) = 4,032 square cm. [1]

First find the length of rectangle B:

Given: width of the rectangle B is 21 cm

then, by definition

Area of rectangle B = =

From [1];

4032 =

Divide 21 both sides we get;

therefore, the length of rectangle B is 192 cm

To find the constant variation:

if y varies inversely as x

i.e,

⇒ where k is the constant variation.

or k = xy

As area of rectangle is multiply its length by width.

This is the inversely variation.

as:

or where A is the constant of variation

Since, the area (A) of both the rectangles are constant.

therefore, the constant of variation is, 4032
