Percent decrease=decrease/original times 100
decrease=23.5-21.2=2.3
original=23.5

percent decrease=2.3/23.5 times 100=0.0978 times 100=9.8%

Answer: B. 9.8%

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to use proportions

since 23.5 is the 100% = 23.5 inches /100 %

For 21.2 inches =21.2inches /x%

23.5/100 =21.2/x

Solving for x:

x = 21.2 / (23.5/100)

x = 90.2%

21.1 inches are 90.2% of 23.5 inches.

So, the percent decrease is:

100% - 90.21 % = 9.8 %

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

Instructions: Find the measure of the indicated angle to the<br> nearest degree
Artemon [7]

Answer:

? = 57

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use trig functions

cos ? = adj/ hyp

cos ? = 14/26

Taking the inverse cos of each side

cos ^-1 ( cos ?) = cos ^-1 ( 14/26)

? = 57.42102961

To the nearest degree

? = 57
