We can use the pythagorean thereom here, that tells us (a^2)+(b^2)=c^2. C is the hypotenuse, the side opposite from the right angle, while a and b are the other sides. We can insert 5 and 4 as a and b, and solve for c

:(5^2)+(4^2)=c^2

:25+16=c^2

:41=c^2

:sqrt(41)=6.4=c (We square rooted both sides. 6.4 is only rounded to the nearest hundredths place.) Hope this helps!

To decrease an amount by 7%, what single multiplier would you use?

Fofino [41]

To decrease something at 100% by 7% is:

100% - 7% = 93%

You multiply the original value by 0.93 to decrease it from it's original value by 7%
