Answer:

E = 56

Explanation:

Given that E varies directly with
√(C) then the equation relating them is

E = k
√(C) ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition E = 40 when C = 25

k =
(E)/(√(C) ) =
(40)/(√(25) ) =
(40)/(5) = 8, thus

E = 8
√(C) ← equation of variation

When C = 49, then

E = 8 ×
√(49) = 8 × 7 = 56
