The area of the largest triangle would be 6 inches².

How did I get this? I'll explain first:

We would want our triangle to have the longest sides, so it can be big. If you think of a rectangle, a triangle can fit into it if:

The base (bottom) of the triangle is the same length as one side of the rectangle, and the other side of the triangle is perpendicular (90°) to the bottom and is the same length of the other side of the rectangle.

Okay, just picture it: two sides of the triangle are resting in the two sides of the rectangle, and the third side of the triangle is a line that splits the rectangle in half from one corner to the other.

I've added an image to explain.

The formula to find the area of a triangle is half of the base × height.

A of Δ = half of 3 × 4
A = 1.5 × 4 = 6 inches²!

So, using the number 3,200,000 deaths per year, you want to divide it until it reaches deaths per minute.
3,200,000 divided by 365 (for days)
8767.123 divided by 24 (for hours)
365.297 divided by 60 (for minutes)
and so you get 
6.088 deaths per minute

Hope this helped.

8.1 = 0.9a, how do you solve?
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

a = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

8.1 = 0.9a

Solving

8.1 = 0.9a

Solving for variable 'a'.

Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-0.9a' to each side of the equation.

8.1 + -0.9a = 0.9a + -0.9a

Combine like terms: 0.9a + -0.9a = 0.0

8.1 + -0.9a = 0.0

Add '-8.1' to each side of the equation.

8.1 + -8.1 + -0.9a = 0.0 + -8.1

Combine like terms: 8.1 + -8.1 = 0.0

0.0 + -0.9a = 0.0 + -8.1

-0.9a = 0.0 + -8.1

Combine like terms: 0.0 + -8.1 = -8.1

-0.9a = -8.1

Divide each side by '-0.9'.

a = 9

Simplifying

a = 9

Plz answer and im giving a lot of points ; ; oh and its two questions in one
Natali [406]
Please don't ask 2 questions in 1 question



remember that percent is parts out of 100 so x%=x/100
basically just remove the percent sign and move the decimal place 2 places to the left  to convert to fraction

the first one
20 dollars
4.75% tax
15% tip
it depends if you want to tip on the total with tax or without tax
it is better to top on the without-tax value since tax comes from you so
find 4.75% of 20 and add that to 15% of 20 then add that to 20 to get the proper value

scenarios
1. 20+(20 times 4.75%)+(20 times 15%)=23.95
2. ([(20 times 104.75%)] times 115%)=24.09
both are bellow $25 so $25 shoudl be enough to cover it




total cost of a spa treatment of 42 with 6% tax and 20% tip
so you could again do two things:
1. apply tax and give tip on the new amount
2. find the tip and add that to the tax of only 42

scenarios:
1.(42 times 106%) times 120%=$50.4
2. (42 times 20%) +(42 times 106%)=$52.92
it depens on what you tip on
