Answer:

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

Finley's pumpkin had a mass of 6.5 kg before he carved it.

After carving it, the pumpkin had a mass of 3.9 kg.

Now, we are asked to determine the % decrease in the mass of the pumpkin.

Therefore, the % decrease in mass is given by  

\frac{\textrm {Initial Mass - Final Mass}}{\textrm {Initial Mass}} \times 100= \frac{6.5 - 3.9}{6.5} \times 100 = 40%. (Answer)

Find Arc PR<br>Please help and give explanation ​
garri49 [273]
Arc PR is 156 degrees. Since both angles are are making the forming arc they should be congruent. You can put (5x+23)=(9x-21) which is x=11.
Then you plug in 11 into your equation; 5(11)+23=78.
Since the vertex is on the outside of the circle then the arc is forms is 2 times the value of the angle.
78(2)=156
