The percent increase is 48.28

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Purchase price of used-droid = $2900

Selling price of used=droid = $4300

Profit = Selling price - purchase price

Profit = 4300-2900 = $1400

Percent increase = $\frac{Profit}{Purchase\ price}*100$

$Percent\ increase=\frac{1400}{2900}*100\\\\Percent\ increase=\frac{140000}{2900}\\\\Percent\ increase=48.275\%$

Rounding off to nearest hundredth;

Percent increase = 48.28%

The percent increase is 48.28

What is the length of the apothem of a regular hexagon with 10-cm sides?

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

The length of apothem of given hexagon is 8.66 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Apothem of a polygon is given by:

$apothem = \frac{s}{2\ tan\ (\frac{180}{n})}$

Here

s is length of side

tan is trigonometric function

and n denotes number of sides

Given that the polygon is a hexagon

$s = 10cm\\n = 6$

Putting the values in the formula

$apothem = \frac{10}{2\ tan\ (\frac{180}{6})}\\= \frac{10}{2\ tan\ 30}\\=\frac{10}{2 * 0.5773}\\=\frac{10}{1.1546}\\=8.6610\\Rounding\ off\ to\ nearest\ hundredth\\= 8.66\ cm$

Hence,

The length of apothem of given hexagon is 8.66 cm

How to solve 325x52 traditional way

pentagon [3]

place 325 on top and line up 52 with 25 on bottom. Then multiply 2 with 5 to get 10. Place the zero bellow the line and carry the 1 over the 2. Multiply 2 times 2 to get 4 and then add one to get 5. Put the five bellow the line. Multiply 3 times 2 to get a total of 6 and bring it bellow the line. Bring a zero bellow the 0 that's bellow the line. Multiply 5 times 5 to get 25. Bring the 5 to the left of the zero you just placed and carry the 2. Multiply 5 times 2 to get 10 and add the 12. Place the 2 to the left of the 5 you just placed bellow the line and carry the 1. Multiply 5 times 3 to get 15 and add the 1 to get 16. Place the 16 to the left of the 2 you just placed bellow the line. Then add 650 plus 16250 to get an answer of 16,900.

Wow that was long and hard to explain LOL. :)
