What is the percent of decrease from 500000 to 60000

Mathematics

A change from 500000 to 60000 speaks to a negative change (diminish) of - 88% 

Percent change = [(500000 - 60000)/500000] x 100 = - 88 % (expansion) 

Where: 500000 is the old and 60000 is the new. For this situation, we have a negative change (diminish) of - 88 percent on the grounds that the new is more prominent than the old.

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

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

In our case, the number goes from 500000 (the old number) to 60000 (the new number).

percent change = (new number - old number)/(old number) * 100

percent change = (60000 - 500000)/(500000) * 100

percent change = -88%

Answer: the percent decrease is 88%

A triangle has 2 sides that equal 5 inches. The other side equals 4 inches
miskamm [114]

Answer:

Isosceles triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

It is assumed that the triangle is a right angle triangle, implying that Pythagoras theorem becomes applicable.

If the first side is represented by x and the second side by y,

x + y = 5

The hypotenuse is always the longest side hence it can be presumed to be 4 since both x and y cannot be more than 5.

Therefore using pythagoras equation:

hyp^2 = sqrt(opp^2 + adj^2)

this implies that

4^{2} = \sqrt{x} (x^{2} +y^{2}

therefore

16 = sqrt (x^2 + y^2) ----------------- (i)

since x + y = 5, y = 5 - x ------------------- (ii)

substituting (ii) into eqn (i)

16 = sqrt ( x^2 + (5-X)^2)

16 = sqrt( x^2 + 25 -10x + x^2)

16 = sqrt( x^2 + x^2 - 10x + 25)

16 = sqrt( 2x^2 - 10x + 25)

squaring both sides

256 = 2x^2 - 10x + 25

this can be refined as

2x^2 - 10x - 231 = 0

Solving using quadratic equation:

where a = 2, b = -10 and c = -231

x = 13.53  or -8.53.

Since x is a side of a triangle that cannot be negative,

x = 13.53 but x can never be greater than 5 since x + y = 5

This implies that the triangle is not a right angle triangle; it is most likely an  isosceles triangle with two sides of equal length such that x = y = 2.5 inches while the longest side; the hypotenuse is 4 inches.

substituting for x in

I need major help pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee
sveta [45]
Just make a triangle and an X and Y axis and reflect it over the Y axis.  It's that simple.  Then tell how you did it.  Obviously it will be a reflection.  Name the points (before and after) and you are done.

Pythagoras help needed please
boyakko [2]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the diagonal of the square. The side of the square is 5 cm long. By the Pythagorean theorem,

\text{Diagonal}^2=\text{Side}^2+\text{Side}^2\\ \\\text{Diagonal}^2=5^2+5^2\\ \\\text{Diagonal}^2=25+25\\ \\\text{Diagonal}^2=50\\ \\\text{Diagonal}=\sqrt{50}=5\sqrt{2}\approx 7.07\ cm

If the square (being inside the circle) touches the circle, then the diagonal of the square is exactly the diameter of the circle. The diameter of the circle is twice the radius of the circle, so

\text{Diameter}=2\times 5=10\ cm

Since the diagonal is shorter than the diameter, the square can fit into the circle without touching the circle.
