Antoine and Tess have a disagreement over how to compute a 15% gratuity on $46.00. Tess says, “It is easy to find 10% of 46 by m

oving the decimal point one place to the left to get $4.60. Do that twice. Then add the two amounts to get $4.60 + $4.60 = $9.20 for the 15% gratuity.”

Tess is correct about figuring 10% but he added 2 of them together which is like adding 10% +10% which is 20% not 15%.

 he should have taken 1/2 of the 4.60 for 5% since 5 is half of 10

 half of 4.60 = 2.30

then add that to the 4.60

4.60 +2.30 = 6.90 is 15%

The word geometry comes from the greek words geo, which means "earth," and metron, which means "a measuring of." given this info
Leokris [45]

The geometry was developed by a Greek mathematician called Euclid and developed to meet some practical need in surveying, construction, astronomy, and various crafts.

In this question,

Early geometry was a collection of empirically discovered principles concerning lengths, angles, areas, and volumes, which were developed to meet some practical need in surveying, construction, astronomy, and various crafts.

It was developed by a Greek mathematician called Euclid. This branch of geometry deals with terms like points, lines, surfaces, dimensions of the solids, etc.,

In several ancient cultures there developed a form of geometry suited to the relationships between lengths, areas, and volumes of physical objects. This geometry was codified in Euclid's Elements about 300 bce on the basis of 10 axioms, or postulates, from which several hundred theorems were proved by deductive logic.

Hence we can conclude that the geometry was developed by a Greek mathematician called Euclid and developed to meet some practical need in surveying, construction, astronomy, and various crafts.

the value of n is both 5 times as much as the value of m and 36 more than the value of m. what are the values of n and m? explai
Ray Of Light [21]

You said that        n = 5m

AND                     n = m + 36 .

Well then, if those two quantities are both equal to 'n', then
they must be equal to each other, and we can write

                                               5m = m + 36

Subtract 'm' from each side:    4m =       36

Divide each side by 4 :              m =        9 .

OK.  We're half done.

Way back at the beginning, the first thing you told me
was that 'n' is 5 times the value of 'm'. 

                                   n = 5 (m)

Well !  Now we know what 'm' is, so

                                   n = 5 (9) = 45 .

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

Option (D)

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagoras theorem states,

(Hypotenuse)² = (leg 1)² + (leg 2)²

(13)² = (5)² + (12)²

By the converse of Pythagoras theorem,

If we draw two sides 5cm and 12cm of a triangles with a right angle between them, third side 13 cm will fit to form a right triangle.

Therefore, Option (D) will be the answer.
