VARIATION

1.) The area A of a triangle varies jointly as the lengths of the base b and the
height h. When the area A of a triangle is 90, length of base b is 3 while the
height h is 10. Find the area A of a triangle when base b = 4 and height h =
12.
2.) The area of a square varies directly as the square of a side (a). When the area
of a square is 20 and a = 2. Find the area of a square when a = 1.
3.) The area A of a trapezoid varies jointly as the height h and the sum of the
bases b1 and b2. Find the equation of a variation if A = 30 m 2, h = 3 m, b1 = 6
m and b2 = 9.
4.) The time (t) it takes to construct a highway varies directly as the length of the
road (l) but inversely with the number of (w). If it takes 30 workers and 6
weeks to construct 1 kilometers of highway, how long will it take 60 workers
to construct 3 kilometers of highway?
5.) The acceleration A of a moving object varies directly as the distance (d) it
travels and varies inversely as the square of the time (t) it travels. When d =
50 meters and t = 10 s. Find the acceleration when the distance is 100
meters and 50 seconds.
6.) The lateral surface area A of a cylindrical jar varies jointly as the diameter (d)
and the height (h) of the jar. When the lateral surface area A is 30, the
diameter is 10 and the height is 20. Find the lateral surface area A when d =
14 and b = 28.
7.) The area A of a parallelogram varies jointly as the base b and the altitude h.
When A = 15, b = 3 and h = 5. Find A when b = 11 and h = 2.
8.) The time (t) required to travel is directly proportional to the temperature T
and inversely proportional to the pressure P. When t = 4, T = 14 and P = 7.
Find the time required when T = 15 and P = 5.
9.) The volume of gas in a gas shock absorber varies inversely with the pressure
and directly with the temperature. The volume is 25 cubic centimeters when
the temperature is 40C and the pressure is 35 kg. What is the volume when
the temperature is 30C, and the pressure is 50kg?
10.)
The price of a steel rod varies jointly as the length and the square of
the diameter. If a 24-foot rod with a 4-inch diameter cost 580.00, then what
is the price of an 23-foot rod with a 5-inch diameter?
