A sporting goods store sells triangular team pennants in two sizes. The base of one pennant is 18 in. and the length of the side is 9 in. The other pennant is similar to the larger pennant and has a base that is 6 in.What is the length of the side of the smaller pennant?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: This is a proportion problem because the problem stated that the two team pennants are similar.

Pennant 1 = base = 18 in ; length = 9 inches
Pennant 2 = base =   6 in ; length = x ?

9/18 = x/6
9*6 = 18x
54 = 18x
54/18 = x
3 = x

The length of the  side of the smaller pennant is 3 inches.
Answer 2
Answer:

Answer:the answer is 3inches

the simple interest I (in dollars) for a savings account is jointly proportional to the product of time (in years) and the principal P (in dollars). After 11 months the interest on a principal of $3970 is $86. What is the constant of the variation

Answers

Simple interest I is jointly proportional to the product of time in years and the principal, therefore; mathematically;
I α Pt
introducing a constant;
I = kPt; but I = $ 86, P = $ 3970, while t = 11/12 years
Thus; k = I/Pt
            = 86/ 3970(11/12)
            = 0.0236
Therefore, the constant of the variation is ≈ 0.024
