: Can u help with variation?
A concrete supplier sells premixed concrete in 300-ft^3 truckloads. The area (A) that the concrete will cover is inversely proportional to the depth (d) of the concrete.
a. Write a model for the relationship between the area and the depth of a truckload of poured concrete.
b. What area will the concrete cover if it is poured to a depth of .5 feet? A depth of 1 ft? A depth of 1.5 ft?
c. When the concrete is poured into a circular area, the depth of the concrete is inversely proportional to the square of the radius (r). Write a model for this relationship.

A concrete supplier sells premixed concrete in 300-ft^3 truckloads. The area (A) that the concrete will cover is inversely proportional to the depth (d) of the concrete.
a. Write a model for the relationship between the area and the depth of a truckload of poured concrete.
A = k/d is the equation you want
-----------
b. What area will the concrete cover if it is poured to a depth of .5 feet? A depth of 1 ft? A depth of 1.5 ft?
A = k/0.5
A = k/1
A = k/1.5
--------------

c. When the concrete is poured into a circular area, the depth of the concrete is inversely proportional to the square of the radius (r). Write a model for this relationship.
A = k/r^2 is the equation you want.
