Answer:

120 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the new cost is 144 pounds and this is 20% more,  this is 120% of the original price. Remember 100+20 = 120. To find the original price set up a proportion with these values:

\frac{144}{x}=\frac{120}{100}

Solve for the original price by cross multiplying numerator with denominator.

x(120) = 144(100)

120x = 14400

x= 120 pounds

Find the m∠RQP of the triangle
dmitriy555 [2]

Step-by-step explanation:

in the given figure ,

the two sides of the triangle are equal , so their opposite angles are equal .

so , we get

=》Angle RPQ = Angle PRQ = 65°

and some of interior angels of the triangle measures 180°

so,

=》RPQ + PRQ + RQP = 180°

=》65° + 65° + RQP = 180°

(Because RPQ = PRQ = 65°)

=》130° + RQP = 180°

=》RQP = 50°

A triangle has one angle that measures 70 degrees, one angle that measures 42 degrees, and one angle that measures 68 degrees. W
Leto [7]

Answer:

Scalene Acute Triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle above is an <em>"acute triangle"</em> because the measurement of each angle is <em>less than 90°</em>. However, there are three types of acute triangle and these are: <em>Equilateral Acute Triangle, Isosceles Acute Triangle and Scalene Acute Triangle.</em>

When all the angles have the same measurement of less than 90°, then it is an Equilateral Acute Triangle. If only two angles have the same measurement, it is an Isosceles Acute Triangle. If <u><em>none of the angles are the same </em></u>but all are less than 90°, which also means that the<u><em> sides are also unequal</em></u>, then it is an Scalene Acute Triangle.

The triangle above has <em>different angle measurements of less than 90°</em>. Therefore, it is an Scalene Acute Triangle.
