Question

The product of the base and height of a rectangle is the area. Can this statement be represented as variation for the base and height? (Hint: Treat the area as a constant.)

Answer 1

A=base*height
b=A/h so for a given area, b is inversely proportional to n

Answer 2

The product of length and width is constant.

Explanation:

Given that the product of the base and height of a rectangle is the area.

If l is the length, and w the width,

lw = A

Here A is constant

Hence lw = A

l and w are inversely related.
