Answer: 175 robberies

Step-by-step explanation:

Robberies last year= 243

Robberies has reduced by 28% which means there are (100-28)% = 72% robberies this year.

Number of robberies this year= 72% of 243 = 72/100 × 243 = 174.96 = 175.

There are 175 robberies this year

Answer: 175

Step-by-step explanation:

The original number of robberies = 243

It has been reduced by 28% , to find the present number of robberies , all we need do is to find 72% of 243. That is

72% x 243

= 0.72 x 243

= 174.96

Therefore , the number of robberies this year to the nearest whole number will be 175

Suppose a and b vary inversely, and b = 8 when a = 6. Write a function that models the variation and find b when a = 30. Explain
ICE Princess25 [194]
1. If a and b vary inversely and b = 8 when a = 6:
b = k/ a
8 = k / 6
k = 6 * 8
k = 48
Function is:
b = 48 / a
2. When a = 30:
b = 48 / 30 = 8/5
b = 1.6

ANSWER ASAP ITS FOR FINALS
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

9. 66°

10. 44°

11. 2\sqrt{7}

12. 2\sqrt{3}

13. 27.3

14. 33.9

15. 22°

16. 24°

Step-by-step explanation:

9. Add 120 + 80 (equals 200) and subtract that from 360 (Because all angles in a quadrilteral add to 360°), this equals 160. Plug the same number in for both variables in the two other angle equations until the two angles add to 160. For shown work on #9, write:

120 + 80 = 200

360 - 200 = 160

12(5) + 6 = 66°

19(5) - 1 = 94°

94 + 66 = 160

10. Because the two sides are marked as congruent, the two angles are as well. This means the unlabeled angle is also 68°. The interior angles of a triangle always add to 180°, so add 68+68 (equals 136) and subtract that from 180, this equals 44. For shown work on #10, write:

68 x 2 = 136

180 - 136 = 44

11. Use the Pythagorean theorem (a² + b² = c²) (Make sure to plug in the hypotenuse for c). Solve the equation. For shown work on #10, write:

a² + b² = c²

a² + 6² = 8²

a² + 36 = 64

a² = 28

a = \sqrt{28}

a = 2\sqrt{7}

12. (Same steps as #11) Use the Pythagorean theorem (a² + b² = c²) (Make sure to plug in the hypotenuse for c). Solve the equation. For shown work on #11, write:

a² + b² = c²

a² + 2² = 4²

a² + 4 = 16

a² = 12

a = \sqrt{12}

a = 2\sqrt{3}

13. Use SOH CAH TOA and solve with a scientific calculator. For shown work on #13, write:

Sin(47°) = \frac{20}{x}

x = 27.3

14. Use SOH CAH TOA and solve with a scientific calculator. For shown work on #14, write:

Tan(62°) = \frac{x}{18}

x = 33.9

15. Use SOH CAH TOA and solve with a scientific calculator. For shown work on #15, write:

cos(θ) = 52/56

θ = cos^-1 (0.93)

θ = 22°

16. (Same steps as #15) Use SOH CAH TOA and solve with a scientific calculator. For shown work on #16, write:

sin(θ) = 4/10

θ = sin^-1 (0.4)

θ = 24°
