48x0.2= $9.6
$48-9.6=$38.40 Her friend is incorrect.
40/48 =0.83 or about 83% So, in this case she only got 17% off. :)

In the given figure, ΔABC is a right triangle.

ch4aika [34]

The true statement about right-angle triangle ABC is that: A. sin(A) = cos(C) and cos(A) = sin(C).

<h3>How to apply basic trigonometry?</h3>

In order to determine the angles, we would apply basic trigonometry. From the diagram of the right-angled triangle shown below, we can deduce the following parameters:

Angle (θ) = 45°.

Opposite (Opp) side = a.

Hypotenuse (Hyp) = c.

Adjacent (Adj) side = b.

By applying the basic trigonometry functions, we have:

sin(A) = Opp/Hyp = a/c.

sin(C) = Opp/Hyp = c/b.

cos(A) = Adj/Hyp = c/b.

cos(C) = Adj/Hyp = a/c.

From the above, we can logically deduce that sin(A) is equal to cos(C) and cos(A) is equal to sin(C).

one of the solutions to x2 − 2x − 15 = 0 is x = −3. what is the other solution? x = −5 x = −1 x = 1 x = 5

Goryan [66]

$x^{2} -2x-15=0$
P(-15)
s(-2)
$x^{2} -5x+3x-15$
=x(x-5)+3(x-5)
=(x+3)(x-5)
x=5

How much cardboard is needed to make the tissue box above? Square inches 8 3 3

Katen [24]

The amount of cardboard needed to make a cuboid box of dimensions 8 inch, 3 inches and 3 inches is 114 sq. inches.

<h3>What is the surface area of cuboid?</h3>

Let the three dimensions(height, length, width) be x, y,z units respectively.

The surface area of the cuboid is given by

$S = 2(a\times b + b\times c + c\times a)$

For this case, tissue box is almost cuboid shaped.

Also, its dimensions are given being 8 inches, 3 inches and 3 inches.

Suppose we measure the amount of cardboard needed in terms of area, then, the amount of cardboard needed to make that box(without any whole, full cuboid) is equal to the area of its surface(either outer or inner if we assume 0 inches thickness of cardboard),

Thus, we get:

Amount of cardboard needed = surface area of cuboid box with dimensions 8 by 3 by 3 (in inches)

= $2(8 \times 3 + 3 \times 3 + 3 \times 8) = 114 \: \rm in^2$

Thus, the amount of cardboard needed to make a cuboid box of dimensions 8 inch, 3 inches and 3 inches is 114 sq. inches.

Help me guy it is hard

Galina-37 [17]

The answer is B, you will need at least 6 spring roll wrapper packages.

The way you get the answer is by turning the word problem into an expression. You can make this into the fraction (17*6+15*3)/(25). 17 is the number of adults and you multiply this by how many spring rolls Jill wants to give each adult, which is 6, you can do the same for the children. Next the denominator is 25 which represents the amount of spring roll wrappers per each package. When you simplify the answer comes around to 5.88, but since you cant buy 88% of a spring role wrap package you have to buy another whole one, which makes the answer six.
