Square P and Square Q are similar squares. The ratio of the side length of Square P to the side length of Square Q is 2:7. if the side length of Square P is 3.5 inches, what is the perimeter of Square Q?

49 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of square Q is 49 inches.

Let x be the length of side of square P and y be that of square Q.

It is given in the question that :

Also it is given that x=3.5 inches. Hence

3.5/y = 2/7

∴ y=12.25 inches.

1.4

2.3

step-by-step explanation:

the formula for the constant of variation is

y= kx

divide each side by x

y/x =kx/x

y/x =k

we know a and y

1.   y/x = k

4/1 =4

check the other values to make sure they are the same

8/2 = 4   12/3 =4   and 16/4 =4  

the constant of variation is 4

2.   y/x = k

3/1 =3

check the other values to make sure they are the same

6/2 = 3   9/3 =3   and 12/4 =3  

the constant of variation is 3
