Joyce paid $15.00 for an item at the store that was 70 percent off the original price. What was the original price?

So we know that $15 was 70% of the original. We can then cross multiply and divide (15 x 100 ÷ 70) The answer you get is 21.4285714 which then rounded is $21.43!! I hope this helped!

An 18-foot ladder touches a building 14 feet up the wall. What is the angle measure, to the nearest degree, of the ladder to the
kondor19780726 [428]
Trigonometry can be used to find angles and sides of simple triangles. If an 18-foot ladder touches a building 14 feet up the wall then the angle can be deduced by trigonometry. In this case, the ladder defines the hypotenuse (H) of the triangle and the wall defines the opposite (O) side of the triangle. Therefore we can use the equation theta=sin^-1(O/H) . This yields an angle of 51 degrees.

If triangle ABC is similar to triangle DEC, find the values of x and y.
Mumz [18]

The values are x=8 and y=35, if the given ΔABC and ΔDEC are equal, it is obtained by Pythagoras theorem.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given are,

           From ΔABC,

                    AB= 6

                    BC= 10

                    AC = x

           From ΔDEC,

                    CD= 28

                    DE= 21

                    CE = y

Step:1

        Pythagoras theorem from  ΔABC,

                    BC^{2}=AB^{2} + AC^{2}...............(1)

       Substitute the values,

                   10^{2} = 6^{2} + AC^{2}

                  100 = 36 + AC^{2}

                   AC^{2} = 100 - 36

                           = 64

                    AC = \sqrt{64}

                    AC = 8

                  AC = x = 8

Step:2

        Pythagoras theorem for ΔDEC,

               CE^{2} = CD^{2}  + DE^{2}................(2)

       From the values,

              CE^{2} = 28^{2} + 21^{2}

             CE^{2} = 784 + 441

                     = 1225

              CE = \sqrt{1225}

              CE = 35

             CE = y = 35

Result:

         The values are x=8 and y=35, if the given ΔABC and ΔDEC are equal.

If the 7th of an AP is equal to 11 times the 11th term, find the 18th term
Zina [86]

Answer:

-33 or 33

Step-by-step explanation:

The seventh term of an AP is written as:

a + 6d

The eleventh term of an AP is written as:

a + 10d

If the 7th term is 11 times the 11th term, then;

a + 6d = 11(a + 10d)

Expand to get:

a + 6d = 11a + 110d

11a - a = 6d - 110d

10a =  - 104d

\frac{a}{d}  = -   \frac{104}{10}

\frac{a}{d}  = -   \frac{52}{5}

We must have a=-52 and d=5

Or

a=52 and d=-5

For the first case, the 18th term is :

- 52 + 5 \times 17 = 33

For the second case,

52 - 5 \times17 =  - 33
