It's 30 or 60 degrees because those and 45 degrees are the only ones we're ever expected to know.   Let's figure out which.

I'm not sure if this is trig.  The trig solution is easy,

area = (1/2) a b sin C

16 = (1/2) (8)(8) sin C

16/32 = sin C

sin C = 1/2

C = 30 degrees.

Answer: (1) 30

There's also C=150 degrees that works, but not among the choices.

-------------------

It's harder if we don't have trig yet.  An isosceles triangle, like here with a=BC=b=AC, is bisected in two by the altitude to the unique base, let's call it h=CD where D is the midpoint of AB.

We're told the area of ABC is 16.  Euclid's Theorem for the area of a triangle is of course one half base times height.

area = 1/2 ch

16 = (1/2) ch

ch = 32

h=32/c = 2⁵/c

We're gonna need another equation.  The two resulting triangles are right triangles, ADC and BDC, both right angles at D (that's what an altitude is) and both with an unknown base AD=c/2 (where c=AB) and hypotenuse a=b=8.

By the Pythagorean Theorem,

(c/2)² + h² = a² = 8² = 64

c²/4 + h² = 8² = 2⁶

There's pretty hard going ahead; I'll stop here and assume this is a trig problem.

What percent is 608 million of 845 million
wlad13 [49]
Hello,

To find the percentage, simply divide the smaller number to the larger number. In this situation, we divide 608 million by 845 million, which will get you:
0.719526627219. At this point, move the decimal place 2 places to the right to get the percent form of the decimal. Let's also round this decimal up.

After you move the decimal place, it's now 71.9526627219, and if we round it to the nearest 10th, it would be 71.95%.

In conclusion, the percent is 71.95%.

Hope this helps!

What's a simplified form of x-1+4+7x-3
Dovator [93]
Ok so right now leave the x's alone. Now add/subtract the numbers without variables which would equal to 0 since -1+4 = 3 and 3-3 =0

now 7x+x =8x so 8x is answer
