Square and Cube Linkage

Move brown slider to enter positive number x to be squared or cubed.
Violet slider shows y = (x^2)/k
Pink slider shows z = (x^3)/(k^2)
The red letter O is origin of the Cartesian coordinate system.
k: distance between O and center of orange slider (k = 50 in this video).
The video shows:
When x = 45; y = (45^2)/50 = 40.5; z = (45^3)/(50^2) = 36.45
When x = 75; y = (75^2)/50 = 112.5; z = (75^3)/(50^2) = 168.75
