Answer:

20%

Step-by-step explanation:

First we find the actual dollar amount of the discount.

$65.50 - $52.40 = $13.10

Now we need to find what percent of $65.50 is $13.10.

To find what percent a part is of the whole, divide the part by the whole and multiply by 100%.

percent = part/whole * 100%

percent = $13.10/$65.50 * 100% = 20%

Let G denote the centroid of triangle ABC. If triangle ABG is equilateral with side length 2, then determine the perimeter of tr

zhannawk [14.2K]

We know from Euclidean Geometry and the properties of a centroid that GC=2GM. Now GM=sin60*GA= $\sqrt{3}$ . Hence CM=GC+GM=3* $\sqrt{3} /$ . Now, since GM is normal to AB, we have by the pythagoeran theorem that:
$AC^2=AM^2+GM^2=BM^2+GM^2=BC^2$
Hence, we calculate from this that AC^2= 28, hence AC=2* $\sqrt{7}$ =BC. Thus, the perimeter of the triangle is 2+4* $\sqrt{7}$ .
