Answer:

√254 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

This is basically a triangle, with a height of 2, and hypotenuse of 16.

Using the Pythagorean theorem (a^2+b^2=h^2) we can find the other side.  

2^2+b^2=16^2

4+b^2=256

b^2=254

b=√254

Find the percent of increase or decrease from the first number to the second number. 140 to 84
tresset_1 [31]
We can automatically see that we are dealing with a percent decrease because we are going from a smaller to a bigger number. We need to first find what percent of 140the number 84 is. to do this we can set up the following equation:

140/84=100/x (this equation is basically saying if 140 is 100(%) what would 84 be?)

solving for x here gives us x = (84 X 100)/140 = 60, so 84 is 60 percent of 140 which means 140 decreased by 40 percent.

Let me know if I can clear anything else up.

Find the percent of decrease from 280 to 210. Round to the nearest tenth of a percent, if necessary.
Vlada [557]
To find the decreased percentage,here's what we can do:
\frac{originl \: value - new \: value}{originl \: value}  \times 100\%

In this case,the eqaution would be:
\frac{280 - 210}{280}  \times 100\% \\  =  \frac{70}{280}  \times 100\% \\  =  \frac{1}{4}  \times 100\% \\  = 25\%
Hope it helps!
