Variation
What this module is about
This module deals with the variation of more than two variables. oth direct and
inverse variations may occur in the same !roblem. "oint variation are #uantities that are
directly related. ut when $oint variation is combined with inverse variation% then it is called
combined variations.
What you are expected to learn
&. identify relationshi! involvin' two or more variables.
(. find the relation and constant of variation
). a!!ly the conce!t of !ro!ortionality.
How much do you know
A. *sin' + as the constant of variation% write the e#uation of variation for each of the
followin',
&. The area (A) of a !arallelo'ram varies $ointly as its base (b) and its
altitude (a).
(. The volume (-) of a !yramid varies $ointly as its base area (b) and its
altitude (a).
). The area of the circle varies directly as the s#uare of its radius.
.. * varies $ointly as the s#uare of m and inversely as n.
/. - varies $ointly with l% w and h.
0. The volume (V) of a cube varies directly as the cube of its ed'e (e).
1. The force (F) needed to !ush an ob$ect alon' a flat surface varies directly
as the wei'ht (w) of the ob$ect.
2. The altitude (h) of a cylinder is inversely !ro!ortional to the s#uare of its
radius (r).

This lesson deals with another conce!t of variation% the $oint variation.
Some !hysical relationshi!s% as in area or volume% may involve three or more
variables simultaneously.
Consider the area of a rectan'le which is obtained from the formula A lw = where l
is the len'th
w
is the width of the rectan'le. The table shows the area in s#uare
centimetres for different values of the len'th and the base.
l ( . / 0 0 2 2 &4
w
) ) ) / 1 1 && &)
A 0 &( &/ )4 .( /0 22 &)4
6bserve that A increases as either l or
w
increase or both. Then it is said that
the area of a rectan'le varies $ointly as the len'th and the width.
Consider the area of a trian'le% which is obtained from the formula,
&
'
A ab =
where b is the base and
a
is the altitude of the trian'le. The table shows the area in
s#uare centimetres for different values of the base and altitude% both bein' in centimetres.

a trian'le varies $ointly as the base and the altitude.
