If she had 36 free throw tries and made 75% of them, you would multiply 36 by 0.75. Percentages are really just parts out of 100, so 75 in decimal form would be 0.75 (out of 1.0).

36 x 0.75 = 27 ( the same as 3/4 of 36 )

So, the basketball player made 27 free throws.

Answer:

$\sf \dfrac{3}{4y}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify:

45 = 5 * 3 * 3

60 = 5 * 3 * 2 * 2

GCF = 5*3 = 15

$\sf \dfrac{45x^2}{60x^2y}=\dfrac{45}{60y}$

$\sf =\dfrac{45 \div 15}{60y \div 15}\\\\= \dfrac{3}{4y}$

Given right triangle ABC with altitude BD drawn to hypotenuse AC. If AC =16 and DC=5 what is the length of BC in the simplest ra

Nana76 [90]

The length of BC is $4 \sqrt{5}$ .

Solution:

Given ABC is a right triangle.

AC is the hypotenuse and BD is the altitude.

AB and BC are legs of the triangle ABC.

AC = 16 and DC = 5

<u>Leg rule of geometric mean theorem:</u>

$\frac{\text { hypotenuse }}{\text { leg }}=\frac{\text { leg }}{\text { part }}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{AC}{BC}=\frac{BC}{DC}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{16}{x}=\frac{x}{5}$

Do cross multiplication.

$\Rightarrow 16\times 5 = x\times x$

$\Rightarrow 80= x^2$

$\Rightarrow 16\times 5= x^2$

Taking square root on both sides.

$\Rightarrow \sqrt{16\times 5} = \sqrt{x^2}$

$\Rightarrow \sqrt{4^2\times 5} = \sqrt{x^2}$

square and square roots get canceled, we get

$\Rightarrow 4\sqrt{ 5} = x$

The length of BC is $4 \sqrt{5}$ .
