Q. Find the constant of proportionality k if z=3600 when y=3 and x=5.
Understand Relationship Between Variables: Understand the relationship between the variables. In a direct variation with three variables, the relationship can be expressed as z=kxy, where k is the constant of proportionality.
Substitute Given Values: Substitute the given values into the direct variation equation.We know that z=3600, y=3, and x=5. Substitute these values into the equation z=kxy to find k.3600=k×3×5
Solve for Constant k: Solve for the constant of proportionality k. To find k, divide both sides of the equation by the product of x and y. k=(3×5)3600k=153600
Calculate Value of k: Calculate the value of k. Perform the division to find the value of k. k=240
