Tomtit [17]3 years ago

Answer:

Decrease of 28.6%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The multiplier for a increase of a% is 1 + a/100.

The multiplier for a decrease of b% is 1 - b/100.

Decrease of 15%

1 - 15/100 = 1 - 0.15 = 0.85

Decrease of 16%

1 - 16/100 = 1 - 0.16 = 0.84

Both:

0.85*0.84 = 0.714

Change:

The initial percentage is 100% = 1.

0.714 - 1 = -0.286

Negative, so a decrease

The answer is a decrease of 28.6%.

Answer:

  • Shown Below.

Explanation:

opposite angles in a quadrilateral sum up to 180°

total interior angles in a quadrilateral is 360°

solve for x:

x - 2 + x + 2 = 180°

2x = 180°

x = 90°

solve for each angle:

1st

x + 2

90° + 2 = 92°

2nd

x - 2

90° - 2 = 88°

3rd

x - 10

90° - 10° = 80°

4th

360° - 80° - 88° - 92° = 100°

When something is bisected, it is cut into two equal halves.

We know that SV cut RST into two parts.

Those two parts are RSV and VST

RSV = 64 and VST = 64

RST = RSV + VST = 64 + 64 = 128

The correct answer should be 128
