Answer:
42
Step-by-step explanation:
In short, the sum of the opposite areas are equal.
x + 30 = 24 + 48
x = 42
To prove this, draw a line from each corner to the "center" where the four lines meet. Along each side of the square are two triangles. These triangles have the same base and the same height, and therefore have the same area.
If we say the triangles at the bottom have area a, the triangles on the left have area b, the triangles on top have area c, and the triangles on the right have area d, then we can write 4 equations:
a + b = x
b + c = 24
c + d = 30
a + d = 48
Adding the first and third equations:
a + b + c + d = x + 30
Adding the second and fourth equations:
a + b + c + d = 24 + 48
Therefore:
x + 30 = 24 + 48
x = 42
If you take 3.5 and divide it by 0.05, or times 20, that would make it 70.
81.49 is the answer. Have a great day!
Answer:4 and 5
Step-by-step explanation:
√(20) is approximately 4.5 so it is between 4 and 5
With Calculator:
To work out the multiplier, take the percentage, divide by 100 and add 1
17.5% / 100 = 0.175
1 + 0.175 = 1.175
£50 x 1.175 = £58.75
Without Calculator:
First work out easy percentages of 50 (if needed use previous answers (such as 10) to work out smaller percentages (such as 5%))
100% = 50
10% = 5
5% = 2.5
2.5% = 1.25
10% + 5% + 2.5% = 17.5%
5 + 2.5 + 1.25 = £8.75
Add this on to the original price:
£50 + £8.75 = £58.75
The total price, including VAT, is £58.75
