The percentage decrease is 60% decrease because it changed by 81 and 81 is 60% of 135
The Answer Is 42.............................................
The mixed number is 4 5/12.
Step-by-step explanation:
By Pythagoras' theorem,
12^2 = 11^2 + height^2
height = ±√12^2 - 11^2 (rej -ve value since height > 0)
height = 16.279 (5sf) = 16.3 (nearest tenth place)

Just use the Pythagorean Theorem
(9 +x)^2 = 15^2 + x^2
x^2 + 18x + 81 = 225 + x^2
18x = 144
x = 8
So the three sides of the triangle are
15, 8 and 17
