s varies directly as r^2, then we have
\n" ); document.write( "s = kr^2 where k is the proportionality constant
\n" ); document.write( "we are given
\n" ); document.write( "64 = k(2^2)
\n" ); document.write( "k = 64/4 = 16
\n" ); document.write( "now we are asked to find s when r is 5
\n" ); document.write( "s = 16(5^2)
\n" ); document.write( "s = 16 * 25
\n" ); document.write( "s = 400
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
