h is proportional to √n
.: h = k x √n , where k is the constant of proportionality
When h = 35, n = 2000
.: 35 = k x √2000
k = 35/√2000
So put this in our formula.
h = 35/√2000 x √n
Now, when n = 10000:
h = 35/√2000 x √10000
= 78.26237921
= 78 cm
.: h = k x √n , where k is the constant of proportionality
When h = 35, n = 2000
.: 35 = k x √2000
k = 35/√2000
So put this in our formula.
h = 35/√2000 x √n
Now, when n = 10000:
h = 35/√2000 x √10000
= 78.26237921
= 78 cm
