Essentially, we must take 5% of $1250. When we drop the percent sign, we move the decimal 2 places to the left, giving .05. Then "of" means multiply. We take $1250 and multiply times .05, giving 
<span>$62..50 </span>

<span>Another way to do it is to take 10%, or $125. </span>
<span>Then 5% is half of that. Half of $125 is $62.50 We can do that by dividing $125 by 2. I did it in my head. Others might do it on paper. Still others might have a calculator handy and say $125 divided by 2 on the calculator. We should all get the same answer unless one person spaces out or is tired. It happens!</span>

5% of 1250....turn percent to decimal...." of " means multiply
0.05(1250) = 62.50 <==

zzz [600]

Answer:

1800 inches, 150 feet, and 50 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

First, lets start in inches. multiply 45 by 3, to get 135 feet, and add that with 10.5 to get 145.5 feet. multiply that by 12 to get 1746 inches, and add 54 to that to get 1800 inches. divided that by 12 to get 150, and divided 150 by 3 to get 50.

The deck off the back of the house creates a right triangle. The side of the deck resting against the house is the hypotenuse of
goblinko [34]

Approximately 2 gallons will be needed if each gallon of stain and  the project will cost be $73.96 if  each gallon costs $36.98

<h3>How to find the area of a triangle</h3>

The formula for calculating the area of a triangle is expressed as:

A = 0.5bh

where

base = 15feet

height = 20feet

Area of the deck = 20 * 15 * 0.5

Area of the deck is  150 square feet

Number of gallons needed  = 350/150 = 2.3

Hence approximately 2 gallons will be needed if each gallon of stain covers a maximum of 350 square feet.

Cost of the two gallons  = 36.98 * 2

Cost of the two gallons  = $73.96

Hence the project will cost be $73.96 if  each gallon costs $36.98

1. M is the midpoint of LN and O is the midpoint of NP.
Reptile [31]
1. M is the midpoint of LN and O is the midpoint of NP. This makes the triangle MNO equal to half of LNP. Then you can get this equation
MO= (1/2) LP

If you insert MO = 2x +6 and LP = 8x – 20 the calculation would be:
2x+6= (1/2)( 8x-20)
2x+6= 4x-10
2x-4x= -10 - 6
-2x= -16
x=8

2. Centroid is the point that intersects with three median lines of the triangle. The centroid should divide the median lines into 1:2 ratio. In AC lines, A located in the base so A.F:FC would be 1:2

Then, the answer would be:
A.F= 1/(1+2) * AC
A.F= 1/3 * 12= 4

FC= 2/(1+2) * AC
FC= 2/3 * 12= 8

3. Since
∠BAD=∠DAC
∠ABD=∠ACD
AD=AD
The triangle ABD and ACD are similar. You can get this equation
BD=DC
x+8= 3x+12
x-3x= 12-8
-2x=4
x=-2

DC=3x+12= 3(-2) +12= 6

4. Orthocenter made by intersection of triangle altitude
A
BC lines slope would be (-4)-(-1)/1-4= -3/-3= 1. The altitude line slope would be -1, the function would be:
y=-x +a
0= 1+a
a=-1
y=-x-1
B
AC lines slope would be (-4)-(-1)/1-0= -3. The altitude line slope would be 1/3, the function would be:
y=1/3x+a
-1=1/3(4)+a
a=-7/3
y=1/3x - 7/3

C
BC lines slope would be (-1)-(-1)/4 = 0/4. 
The line would be 
0=x+a
a=-1
0=x-1
x=1

y=-x-1 = 1/3x-7/3
-x-(1/3x)=-7/3 +1
-4/3x= -4/3
x=1

y=-x-1
y=-1-1= -2
The orthocenter would be (1,-2)

5. 
a. Circumcenter: the intersection of perpendicular bisector lines<span>
b. Incenter: the intersection of bisector lines
c. Centroid: </span>the intersection of median lines<span>
d. Orthocenter: </span>the intersection of altitude lines
