There is 4.88% decrease in Olivia's score.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Score on first math test = Old value = 82 points

Score on second math test = New value = 78 points

Change = New value - Old value

Change = 78 - 82 = -4

The negative sign indicates the decrease.

Decrease percent = \frac{Change}{Old\ value}*100

Decrease percent = \frac{4}{82}*100=\frac{400}{82}

Decrease percent = 4.88%

There is 4.88% decrease in Olivia's score.

Answer:

x = \sqrt{w(w+z)}

Step-by-step explanation:

By the Pythagorean theorem, triangle BCD has

y^2 = x^2 - w^2

and triangle ABD has

v^2 = y^2 + z^2.

Substituting the first equation into the second equation for y^2 gives the equation

v^2 = (x^2 - w^2) + z^2

Now triangle ABC has

(w+z)^2 = x^2 + v^2

Expanding out the left side, w^2 + 2wz + z^2 = x^2 + v^2.

Now substitute the equation from before, v^2 = x^2 - w^2 + z^2, into the new equation.

w^2 + 2wz + z^2 = x^2 + (x^2 - w^2 + z^2)

w^2 + 2wz + z^2 =2x^2 - w^2 + z^2

We work to isolate x^2 by adding w^2 to both sides of equation and subtracting z^2 from both sides.

2w^2 + 2wz = 2x^2

Divide both sides by 2 and you get w^2 + wz = x^2

Assume that x is positive and square root both sides to get the final result of

x = \sqrt{w^2 + wz} = \sqrt{w(w+z)}

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

if you look inside the triangle,

you have one angle=65

the acute angle=180-150=30

<YZX=180-(65+30)=85

the angle <xzw is its supplement, 180-85=95

Three of these expressions are equal to the volume of the barn shown. Which expression is not?
timurjin [86]

The statement that does not match the others is the one at lower right.

_____

The barn's volume can be decomposed into a rectangular prism and a triangular one. Thus the <em>upper right</em> expression is a true represenation of the barn's volume:

... Volume of triangular prism + Volume of rectangular prism

The volume of a <em>rectangular prism</em> is the product of its dimensions. The dimensions of the rectangular prism portion of the barn's volume are a, b, c, so the volume of that portion is ...

... Volume of rectangular prism = a·b·c

The volume of a <em>triangular prism</em> is the area of the triangular base multiplied by the length of the prism. Here, the triangular base has base dimension b and height (d-c), so its area is ...

... Area of triangular barn end = (1/2)b(d-c)

Since the length of the barn is "a", the volume of the triangular prism is ...

... Volume of triangular prism = (1/2)b(d-c)a = (1/2)·a·b·(d-c)

The <em>total volume</em> is the sum of the volumes of the parts ...

... a·b·c + (1/2)·a·b·(d-c) . . . . . . matches the <em>upper right</em> selection

This can be factored by removing a·b to outside parentheses:

... a·b·((1/2)·(d-c) + c) . . . . . . . . . matches the <em>lower left</em> selection

___

Since the two left selections match the one at upper right, the odd one is the one at lower left.
