The perimeter of an equilateral triangle is directly proportional to the length of one of its sides. The perimeter is 17.7
when the length of a side is 5.29. What is the constant of proportionality

Respuesta :

HamK

Answer: 3.35 in 3 significant figures.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to question,

Perimeter ∝ length

Here, ∝ means directly proportional.

To remove symbol, introduce a constant. Let the constant be k.

Perimeter ∝ length

Perimeter = k × length

Now, perimeter = 17.7 and length = 5.29

Perimeter = k × length

k = perimeter / length

k = 17.7 / 5.29

k = 3.35 in 3 significant figures.
