The original price was $25. 

First, convert the 30% to a real mathematical number. For percents, this is always done by dividing the 30% by 100%, or 30% / 100% = 0.300.

Second, find out what 30% of $25 is. This is the amount of the sale discount. This is always found by mulitplying 0.300 by the item's cost $25, like this:

0.300 x $25 = $ 7.50.

So for this sale, you'll save $ 7.50 on this item.

This means, the cost of the item to you is

<span>$25 - $ 7.50 = $17.50.</span>

A triangle has sides with lengths of 48 meters, 51 meters, and 31 meters. Is it a right triangle?
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula = a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Putting values

= (31)^2 + (48)^2 = (51)^2

= 961 + 2304 = 2601

= 3265 = 2601

Both sides are not equal so it is not a right triangle

Answer:

y = -3/4(x+4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The point slope formula is given by

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is a point on the line

y-0 = -3/4(x - -4)

y = -3/4(x+4)

A rectangular painting by Leonardo da Vinci measured 62cm along its diagonal. If the painting has a height of 42 cm how wide is
IRINA_888 [86]

ANSWER

45.6cm to the nearest tenth.

EXPLANATION

The diagonal of the rectangular painting is 62cm.

The height of the painting is 42 cm.

The height of the painting h , the diagonal, and the width of the painting forms a right triangle with the diagonal being the hypotenuse.

From the Pythagoras Theorem,

{w}^{2}  +  {42}^{2}  = {62}^{2}

{w}^{2} = {62}^{2} -  {42}^{2}

{w}^{2}  = 2080

{w} =  \sqrt{2080}

w = 4 \sqrt{130}

The width of the painting is 45.6cm to the nearest tenth.
