Ted Thomason found a good deal when he purchased a bedding set. He paid the store's clerk two $20 bills and a $5 bill. The clerk

gave him $2.65 in change. If the sales tax is 7.2%, what was the selling price of the bedding set before taxes?

I'm pretty sure $39.31 was the original sales cost because if you use proportions to find out what is 7.2% of 42.35 ( what you get you you subtract 45 by 2.65). Your equation would be x/42.35 = 7.2/100. 42.35 is the whole because tax is adding money onto your original cost, making that the part. When you cross multiply you get 100x = 304.92. Then you divide by 100 on both sides to isolate the variable, to get x = 3.04. But you don't stop there. Since 3.04 is only the 7.2%, you have to subtract that by 42. 35 to get a sum of 39. 31 as your total.

What conclusions can be drawn using the given and its diagram?
dem82 [27]

Answer:

Whichever reasoning processes and research methods were used, the final conclusion is critical, determining success or failure. If an otherwise excellent experiment is summarized by a weak conclusion, the results will not be taken seriously.

Success or failure is not a measure of whether a hypothesis is accepted or refuted, because both results still advance scientific knowledge.

Failure lies in poor experimental design, or flaws in the reasoning processes, which invalidate the results. As long as the research process is robust and well designed, then the findings are sound, and the process of drawing conclusions begins.Whichever reasoning processes and research methods were used, the final conclusion is critical, determining success or failure.

The Pythagorean theorem is a² + b² = c². Solve for b. b=±c+a−−−−√ b=±c2−a2−−−−−−√ b=±c2+a2−−−−−−√ b=±c−a−−−−√
uysha [10]

a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}

As we have to solve for b, it means we have to isolate b

So first of all subtract a^{2} from both sides

So we get

b^{2} =c^{2} -a^{2}

Now we need b , but its b^2 , so we can take square root on both sides.


taking square roots on both sides

b= +- \sqrt{c^2 -a^2}


Hence option B is correct

Can someone please help me!!!!
Otrada [13]

It is true because if a is perpendicular to b and b is perpendicular to c therefore a has to be perpendicular to c also they said that all three lines are coplanar therefore the statement must be true

I hope this helped you out :)
