Answer:
33 1/3 percent smaller
Step-by-step explanation:
The number a exceeds the number b by 50 percent.
a = b + b*.5
a = b(1.5)
Divide by 1.5
a/1.5 = b
2/3a =b
We want to find (a-b)/a to find the percent decrease
(a-2/3a)/a *100percent
(1/3a)/a* 100 percent
1/3 * 100 percent
33 1/3 percent smaller
Answer:
2 or y=2
Step-by-step explanation:
You can find it by calculating -
- 
= 2
The axis of symmetry is 2
Answer:
x = -2
y = - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
-5y - 10x = 45
-3y + 10x = -5
------------------------Add
-8y = 40
y = -5
-3(-5) + 10x = -5
15 + 10x = -5
10x = -20
x = -2
Answer
x = -2 and y = - 5
The correct answer would be Choice B: 4 square units.
When the scale factor is 1/5, that means the lengths of the sides are 1/5 of the original size. So instead of having a base of 20 and height of 10, the new triangle has a base of 4 and a height of 2.
The area of the triangle is: (4 x 2) / 2 = 4
