To find the percentage you have to divide the part over the whole then multiply by 1000, in this example we want to find out the percentage corresponding to the defective pens.
No. Defective pens= 50
No. Pens = 1000
^ this means all pens defective and none defective since we went to see what proportion they make out of the WHOLE

part / whole *100= defective pens%

50/1000 * 100 = defective pens%
Defective pens = 5%

So, 5% of all pens in that factory are defective.

Which equation could be used to find the length of the hypotenuse?

nevsk [136]

The equation which could be used to find the length of the hypothenuse is; 5 squared + 8 squared = c squared.

<h3>Which equation could be used to find the length of the hypothenuse?.</h3>

It follows from the task content that the equation which could be used to find the length of the third side be determined.

Hence, since it follows from Pythagoras theorem that the square of the hypothenuse is equivalent to the sum of the squares of the two other sides of a right triangle.

Hence, the required equation is; 5 squared + 8 squared = c squared.
