Answer: 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer would be answer choice a.
Because 5/4 = 1.25
tan (51) = 1.235
tan (45) = 1
tan (60) = 1.732
tan (57) = 1.5399
The closest to 1.25 is tan (51)
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
the original number is greater
Step-by-step explanation:
1. let 1x be your starting number
2. therefore, 0.5 * 1x = 0.5x ( amount after you decreased it by 50%)
3. then increase: 0.5x * 1.5 = 0.75x (amount after you increased it by 50%)
4. 0.75x < 1x (this means that the original number is larger than the one you decreased and then increased)
