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\%

The rectangular box shown in the figure has dimensions 9" × 5" × 3" (a = 9, b = 5, c = 3). Approximate the angle θ formed by a d
aliina [53]

<span>The simplest method to do this is with the vector dot product. Let the vector A = <9i + 5j> with magnitude √106 be the base diagonal, and B = <5j + 3k> be the diagonal vector on the side, with magnitude √34. Then cos θ = (A dot B) divided by the product of the magnitudes. A dot B =30, so 

cos θ = 30 / √(34 x 106)</span>

<span> = 0.4997 ==></span>

<span> θ = 49.19° is the answer</span>

Which best explains if quadrilateral WXYZ can be a parallelogram?
nekit [7.7K]

A quadrilateral in which opposite sides are parallel is called a parallelogram. The correct option is A.

<h3>What is a parallelogram?</h3>

A quadrilateral in which opposite sides are parallel is called a parallelogram. Thus, a parallelogram is always a quadrilateral but a quadrilateral can or cannot be a parallelogram.

For a parallelogram, the pair of opposite sides are equal and parallel. Therefore,

1.)  For the first pair.

(x+8) = 15

x = 7

2.) For the second pair

(x+2)=(2x-5)

x + 2 = 2x - 5

2 + 5 = 2x - x

x = 7

(x+2) = (7+2) = 9

Since the measure of the pair of opposite sides is 15 units, the pair of the other two sides measure 9 units.

Hence, the correct option is A.

The complete question is mentioned in the below image.
