Answer:

Answer is 91.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1963= 10,000 sq miles; In 2001= 850 sq miles

  • Now applying formula of percentage of decrease we get:

% = Decrease in Amount/ Actual Amount

  • Applying values in formula:

= 10000-850/10000

= 9150/10000

% = 0.915

In percentage we get 91.5%

In △ABC AL is an angle bisector (L∈ BC ). Point M∈ AB so that LM=AM=BM. Find the angles in △ABC, if AC=2AL.
Alex787 [66]

Since LM = AM, point M must be on the perpendicular bisector of AL. Since AM = BM, BL must be perpendicular to AL. This makes ∆ALC a right triangle with hypotenuse AC twice the length of side AL. Hence ∠LAC = ∠LAB = 60°, and AL is angle bisector, median, and altitude.

ΔABC is isosceles with ∠A = 120°, and ∠B = ∠C = 30°.

Round the following number to four significant figures: 3.682417 *
Dovator [93]

Answer:

3.682

Step-by-step explanation:

We don't consider the decimal place or I should say comma so then we read from the first digit as long as it's not zero then until the fourth digit we look at the next digit if it's 5 or greater then we add 1 to the previous digit. And if the next digit is less than 5 then the digit won't change
