Answer:

Area decreases by 16%

Step-by-step explanation:

Use formula for the area of the triangle

A=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot \text{Base}\cdot \text{Height}

<u>Initial triangle:</u>

The base is 18 cm

The height is 5 cm

The area is

A_{initial}=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot 18\cdot 5=45\ cm^2

<u>New triangle:</u>

The base is (1-0.3)\cdot 18=0.7\cdot 18=12.6\ cm

The height is (1+0.2)\cdot 5=1.2\cdot 5=6\ cm

The area is

A_{new}=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot 12.6\cdot 6=37.8\ cm^2

Area decreases by

100\%-\dfrac{37.8}{45}\cdot 100\%=100\%-84\%=16\%

HELP PLEASE!!
pogonyaev

Answer:

You need to have both the opposite and adjacent side of the right angled triangle. Tan = Opp/Adj

Step-by-step explanation:

Tangents are pretty much everywhere. A good example is maybe a slide at the playground. You’d need the tangent to figure out the angle of the slide and how it is.

The radius from the center of a circle to the point of tangency point shows that it would be perpendicular to the tangent line considering that anything with a radius is circular and the tangent line is… a line, making it impossible to be parallel.

Explain how you would convert a measurement given in ounces into pints
Greeley [361]
8 ounces = 1cup
2 cups = 1 pint
So, 16 ounces = 2 cups = 1pint
16 ounces = 1 pint

If you have 8 ounces, you would have half a pint.
If you have 20 ounces:
20 ounces/16 ounces= 5/4
So, you'd have 1 1/4 or 1.25 pints
