Question

Identify the variation as direct, inverse, joint or combined. If the area of a rectangle stays constant, the relationship between the base and the height. direct inverse joint combined

Answer 1

inverse

Explanation:

Answer 2

Inverse variation

Explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent an inverse variation if it can be expressed in the form
`y*x=k`

Let

x-----> the length of the rectangle

y-----> the width of the rectangle

The area of the rectangle is equal to

`A=xy`

If the area of a rectangle stays constant

then

`A=k`

so

`k=xy` ------> represent an inverse variation

If the length increase------> the width decrease

If the length decrease------> the width increase
