Find the percent change. Tell whether it is a percent increase or decrease. from 50 to 42

2 answers:

7 0

Percent change = (new value - old value)/(old value) * 100

If the percent change is positive, it is an increase.
If the percent change is negative, it is a decrease.

percent change = (42 - 50)/(50) * 100 = -8/50 * 100 = -16%

It is a 16% decrease.

The answer would be percent decrease because if it started at 50 and turned to 40, it lowered since we know 50 is higher than 42 so it dropped by 8 since 8 divided by 50 0.16 and 0.16 times 100 EQUALS 16%

You are constructing triangle ABC given the line segments AB and AC and ∠A. The first thing you do is copy segment AC. Next, you

kondaur [170]

Answer:

C) Copy AB

Step-by-step explanation:

The general idea is that you copy one segment, then the angle (so you know which direction the other segment goes), then the second segment. Finally, you connect the ends of the segments to complete the triangle.

The given description says you've done the first two parts of this, so you must mark off the length of segment AB in the direction you just constructed. That is, you must ...

Copy AB.

_____

In the attached figure, the construction did segment AB first, and is about to do segment AC next. The idea is the same. Swap points B and C in your mind to match the description in the problem statement.

The recycling bin in the shape of a rectangular prism is 15.5 inches long, 8 inches wide and 7 inches high. The recycling bins n

Viktor [21]

Answer:

694 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Dimension of prism

Length = 15.5 inches

width = 8 inches

height = 7 inches

Volume of regular prism is given by area of base * height

area of base = length * width ( as bin is rectangular)

area of base = 15.5 * 8 square inches = 124 square inches

Volume of regular prism = area of base * height

= 124 * 7 cubic inches = 868 cubic inches

_________________________________________________

868 cubic inches is the full capacity of the recycling bin

it is given that recycling bins need to be emptied when it is 80% full

so we need to find the 80% capacity of recycling bin

80% capacity of recycling bin = 80/100 * full capacity of the recycling bin

= 0.8 * 868 cubic inches = 694.4 cubic inches

694.4 cubic inches is the amount needed before the recycle bin is ready to empty .

But question says answer should in nearest cubic inch

hence answer is 694 cubic inches

Calculate the missing angle and give a reason for your answer

Vanyuwa [196]

Step-by-step explanation:

the triangle is an isosceles triangle hence the base angles are equal

sum of angles in a triangle is 180°, therefore, the top angle =180-(62+62)

the top angle =56°

h°= the top angle because alternate angles are equal

hence, h=56°

Please help___________

kramer

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's do the obvious things first.

Right rectangle

w = 11

L = 17

Formula

Area = L * W

Area = 11 * 17

Area = 187

Left rectangle

W = 8

L = 11

Area = 8 * 11= 88

Middle Rectangle

W = 11

L = 15

Area = 11 * 15 165

Now we come to the triangles. It's not obvious what to do with them. You have to infer that one of the lets is 8 and the other is 15. You get the 8 from the width of the left rectangle (see above.)

There are 2 triangles

Area = 2 * 1/2 * l1 * l2

Leg 1 = 8

Leg2 = 15

Area = 2 * 1/2 (8 * 15)

Area = 120

Total = 120 + 165 + 88 + 187 = 560

Unless you have an E answer that is 560, my answer does not agree with any of the given answers. I would suggest that you ask your teacher how it is done. My method is correct.
