tigry1 [53]

Answer:

16.1% is the percentage decrease.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Visitors in February = 1,562

Visitors in march = 1,310

We have to find the percentage decrease of the number of visitors to Alec's website from February to March.

Percentage decrease =

$=\dfrac{\text{Change}}{\text{Original}}\times 100\%\\\\=\dfrac{1562-1310}{1562}\times 100\%\\\\=\dfrac{252}{1562}\times 100\% = 16.1\%$

Thus, 16.1% is the percentage decrease in the number of visitors to Alec's website from February to March.

Answer:

• x = 9

• y = 6√2

Step-by-step explanation:

The right triangles are all similar, so the ratios of hypotenuse to short side are the same:

27/x = x/3

x^2 = 81 . . . . . multiply by 3x

x = 9 . . . . . . . . take the square root

Then y can be found from the Pythagorean theorem:

x^2 = y^2 + 3^2

81 - 9 = y^2 = 72 . . . . . subtract 9

y = √72 = 6√2 . . . . . . .take the square root

The values of x and y are 9 and 6√2, respectively.
