The first number is 80% of the second number, not 75%, hence, Brad is wrong.

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

The percentage is a ratio that can be expressed as a fraction of 100.

Given that, a second number is 125% of the first number.

Let the first number be 100, then the second number will be:

125% of 100

= (125/100) × 100

= 125

Now, divide the first number, 100, by the second number, 125, and then multiply with 100 to know how much % the first number is of the second number:
(100/125) ×100%

=80%

Therefore, the first number is 80% of the second number, not 75%.

Hence, Brad is wrong.

Figure ABCDE has vertices a(-3, 3), b(2, 3), c(5, -2), d(0, -3), and e(-3, -2). Plot the points on your own coordinates grid and
Ilya [14]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

Shown below

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

First of all, we have the following points:

a(-3, 3) \\ \\ b(2, 3) \\ \\ c(5, -2) \\ \\ d(0, -3) \\ \\ e(-3, -2)

To plot these points, we need to graph a coordinate grid. Recall that a coordinate grid is composed of two perpendicular lines, that we call the axes and are labeled like number lines. The horizontal axis is called the x-axis while the vertical axis is called the y-axis, and these two axes intersect at a point called the origin. Next, let's plot each point as follows:

<h2>PART 1. Plot the points on your own coordinates grid and connect in alphabetical order. </h2><h2></h2>

Point a:

Let's stand at the origin and then move three units to the left and three units up. The resulting point is shown in the firs figure below.

Point b:

Let's stand at the origin and then move two units to the right and three units up. The resulting point is shown in the firs figure below.

Point c:

Let's stand at the origin and then move five units to the right and two units down. The resulting point is shown in the firs figure below.

Point d:

Let's stand at the origin and then move three units to down. The resulting point is shown in the firs figure below.

Point e:

Let's stand at the origin and then move three units to the left and two units down. The resulting point is shown in the firs figure below.

Next, let's connect connect the points in alphabetical order, so that the line are connected from a to b, from b to c, from c to d, from d to e and from e to a again. So the resulting graph is shown in the second figure. As you can see, this is an irregular pentagon.

<h2>PART 2. Decompose figure ABCDE into rectangles and triangles.</h2>

Every pentagon can be divided up into three triangles. Hence, from the third figure. the triangles are:

ΔABE

ΔBDE

ΔBCD

Since a rectangle is a quadrilateral whose angles are all right angles, then there is no chance to obtain a rectangle from ABCDE. To obtain a rectangle, we'd need other points and this is not what the problem asks.

A rectangular box has a square base with an edge length of x cm and a height of h cm. The volume of the box is given by V = x^2h
tiny-mole [99]
Option 4 is correct i.e. <span>The volume of the box is increasing at a rate of 192 cm^3/min.

</span>Given : Volume of the rectangular box  = x²h 
where x is edge and h is height.
The edge and the height are varying with time, therefore, we write,x = x(t)
h = h(t)
dh/dt = -3 and we shall calculate when x = 4, dx/dt = 2 and when h=15 
V = x²h dV/dt = (2x × dx/dt × h) + (x² × dh/dt) dV/dt = 2×4×2×15 + (4)^2 ×(-3) dV/dt = 240 - 48
dV/dt = 192 
Because dV/dt is positive, hence the volume is increasing

For a certain​ candy, 15​% of the pieces are​ yellow, 5​% are​ red, 20​% are​ blue, 20​% are​ green, and the rest are brown. ​a)
LuckyWell [14K]
P(Brown) = 100 - 15 -5- 20 - 20 = 40%

P(yellow or blue) = 15 + 20 = 35%

P(not green) = 100 - 20 = 80%

P(striped) = 0%
