Answer: The dimesions will be decreased by 13.05%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, we have to calculate the original area.

Area of a rectangle = Length x width

Replacing with the values given:

A = 40x50 = 2000 ft2

Since is reduced to 1739. if we multiply the original area by a the percentage decrease, and subtract that value to the original area, we obtain 1739 ft2.

2000 - (2000x) = 1739

Solving for x

-2000x = 1739 -2000

-2000x = -261

x =-261/-2000

x = 0.1305

Multiply by 1000 to obtain the percentage:

0.1305 x 100 = 13.05%

Explain how to find the missing exponent given the base and the value
drek231 [11]

Answer:

To find the value of missing exponent, we have to split the number which is in other side of equal sign (which is not having power) as the multiple of base of the missing exponent.

On both sides, powers have the same base, so their exponents must be equal.

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Problem 1:</h3>

Write the missing exponent:

25=5^x

Let x be the missing exponent.

To find the value missing exponent, we have to split the number which is in the left side as the multiple of the base of the missing exponent.

That is,

25=5*5 or 5^2

Now,

5^2=5^x

Powers have the same base so their exponent must be equal.

Hence the missing exponent is 2
