Answer:

Height of the sail is 9 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since sail is in the shape of a triangle and the formula of a triangle is

Area = (1/2)×Base×Height

Area of the sail has been given in the question and we have to calculate the height of the sail.

40.5 = (1/2)× Height× Height ( since base = height)

40.5×2 = height² = 81

height = √81 = 9 feet.

Both base and height of the sail is 40 1/2 feet.

A sail is triangular in shape. Finding the area of a triangle is multiplying its base and height and dividing the product by 2.

A = 1/2 bh

Area = 40 1/2 or 40.50 sq. ft
Since base and height are equal.
40.50 x 2 = 81
bh = 81
bh = 81 ÷ 2
b = 40 1/2 ft
h = 40 1/2 ft

Kent worked in the houseware section of a department store. This year he set a record high for vacuum sales with567 vacuum sold.
Gemiola [76]
First subtract the original high from the new high:
567 - 540 = 27 more vacuums sold.

Now divide the increase amount by the original high and multiply that by 100 to get the percentage:

27 / 540 = 0.05

0.05 * 100 = 5% Increase.

<u>Answer</u>

95,040

<u>Explanation</u>
The interpretation of this expression is; the number of permutation of 5 objects out of 12.

12P5 = 12!/(12-5)!

         =12!/7!
         =(12×11×10×9×8×7×6×5×4×3×2×1)/(7×6×5×4×3×2×1)

         =12×11×10×9×8
         =95,040
