Percent means per 100 so 40% 40 per 100, or simply 40/100

When we divide 40 by 100 we get 0.4 which is a decimal number.

to convert from percent to decimal you have to divide by 100, and then remove the % sign.

Mrs. Nelson has a rectangular flower box that is 5 feet long and 2 feet tall. She wants the width of the box to no more than 5 f

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Volume = length x width x height.
if the width has to be a whole number no more than 5 then the only options for the width is 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5.
V=5x1x2
V=10
V=5x2x2
V=20
V=5x3x2
V=30
V=5x4x2
V=40
V=5x5x2
V=50
the possible volumes are as follows: 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50.
make sure in your answer that you label your volumes so you write ft^3 after every volume answer.

Prove that 1/sin^2A -1/tan^2A= 1

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$LHS =\dfrac{1}{Sin^{2} \ A }-\dfrac{1}{Tan^{2} \ A }\\\\\\ = \dfrac{1}{sin^{2} \ A}- \dfrac{1}{\dfrac{Sin^{2} \ A}{Cos^{2} \ A}}\\\\\\= \dfrac{1}{sin^{2} \ A } - \dfrac{Cos^{2} \ A}{Sin^{2} \ A}\\\\\\= \dfrac{1-Cos^{2} \ A}{Sin^{2} \ A}\\\\\\= \dfrac{Sin^{2} \ A}{Sin^{2} \ A}\\\\\\= 1 = \ RHS$

Hint: 1 - Cos² A = Sin² A
