Answer:
The streets of millston are laid out like a grid, with each square block being the same size. the distance from the movie theater to the restaurant is 1/2 mile along cabot street .If there are exactly 4 blocks between the two locations, how long is each block.
Not sure why such an old question is showing up on my feed...
Anyway, let

and

. Then we want to find the exact value of

.
Use the angle difference identity:

and right away we find

. By the Pythagorean theorem, we also find

. (Actually, this could potentially be negative, but let's assume all angles are in the first quadrant for convenience.)
Meanwhile, if

, then (by Pythagorean theorem)

, so

. And from this,

.
So,
Answer:
Percentage increases and decreases, are found by setting the problem up proportionally.
You are trying to find what percentage of 17.37 is 8.30 first.
so What %/100 = 8.30/17.37
Now define a variable:
Let x = What%
x/100 = 8.30/17.37
17.37x = 830
x = 830/17.37
x ≈ 47.78
8.30 is approximately 47.78% of 17.37, so the percentage decrease is 100% - 47.78% = 52.22%
The percentage decrease is approximately 52.22%
Answer:
well what's the equation to know what x equals
