The volume of paint used, V liters, is directly proportional to the area, A square feet, that the paint can cover. 5 liters of paint can cover a wall with an area of 75 square feet.

a) What is the constant of proportionality? Tell how you found it.

b) Write an equation relating V and A.

c) How much paint would be needed to cover an area of 180 square feet? Show your work.

What is the next step in the given proof? choose the most logical approach. a. statement: m 1 + m 2 + 2(m 3) = 180° reason: angle addition b. statement: m 1 + m 3 = m 2 + m 3 reason: transitive property of equality c. statement: m 1 = m 2 reason: subtraction property of equality d. statement: m 1 + m 2 = m 2 + m 3 reason: substitution property of equality e. statement: 2(m 1) = m 2 + m 3 reason: substitution property of equality
