The number is 90.

<h3>What is the number?</h3>

Percentage can be described as the fraction of an amount that is expressed as a number out of hundred. The sign used to represent percentage is %. Percentages are a measure of frequency.

When the number is decreased, the number becomes smaller. This means that the original number is larger than 81.

The equation that can be used to represent the information in the question is:

(1 - percentage decrease) initial number = 81

(1 - 0.1)x = 81

0.9x = 81

x = 81 / 0.9

x = 90

The height of a triangular window is 3 feet less than its base. The area the window is 20 ft.? find the dimensions of the window

Ivenika [448]

Let us assume base of the window = b feet.

Height is 3 feet less than base, that is = (b-3).

Given area of the triangle = 20 feet square.

We know formula for area of a triangle:

Area = $\frac{1}{2}$ × Base × Height

Plugging values in formula, we get

20 = $\frac{1}{2} b \times (b-3)$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:both\:sides\:by\:}2$

$40=b\left(b-3\right)$

$40=b^2-3b$

$b^2-3b-40=0$

Factoring quadratic, we get

$\left(b+5\right)\left(b-8\right)$ =0

b+5=0

b=-5

b-8=0

b=8.

For base we can take only positive value.

<h3>Therefore, base of the triangle = 8 feet and height = 8 -3 = 5 feet.</h3>

Given the volume is 105 inches³ for an 8 pound bowling ball, find the radius of the bowling ball,

mariarad [96]

Answer:

2.92

Step-by-step explanation:

$V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 \\ \\ 105=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 \\ \\ r^3=\frac{105}{\frac{4}{3}\pi} \\ \\ r=\sqrt[3]{\frac{105}{\frac{4}{3}\pi}} \\ \\ r \approx 2.92$
