A proportional relationship between two variables can be express as:


y=kx

Let's write the relationships given so we can determine which is proportional.

The circumference and a diameter are related by:


C=\pi d

The area and the length of a side of a square are related by:


A=l^2

The perimeter and the width of a rectangle are related by the equation:


P=2l+2w

The Fahrenheit and Celsius are related by:


F=(9)/(5)C+32

By looking at all the expression we notice that onle the first one is a proportional relationship.

Therefore, the circumference and diameter of a circle
