Answer: 7/20 = 0.35 or 35%. 5/9 = 0.55555.... or 55.5555....%

Step-by-step explanation: 7/20 is the same as 0.35 when you divide them: 20 goes into 7 zero times. Bring down a zero once you have 0. in the quotient place. 20 goes into 70 three times. 3 multiplied by 20 is 60. 70 minus 60 is 10. 20 goes into 10 zero times. Bring down another zero. 20 goes into 100 five times. So we now have 0.35. Move the decimal place two spaces to the right to get the percent: 35%.

The same goes for 5/9: 9 goes into 5 zero times. Place a decimal after 0 and bring down a zero. 9 goes into 50 five times. 9 times 5 is 45. 50 minus 45 is 5. We can see a pattern here, so we can assume the next number will also be 5. We now have 0.55555.... as a percent, move the decimal place two spaces to the right: 55.56% rounded.

Two sides and an angle (ssa) of a triangle are given. determine whether the given measurements produce one triangle, two tria

These are a huge pain. First set up your initial triangle with A and B as your base angles and C as your vertex angle. Now drop an altitude and call it h. You need to solve for h. Use sin 56 = h/13 to get that h = 10.8. The rule is that if the side length of a is greater than the height but less than the side length of b, you have 2 triangles. h<a 10.8<12<13. Those are true statements so we have 2 triangles. Side a is the side that swings, this is the one we "move", forming the second triangle. First we have to solve the first triangle using the Law of Sines, then we can solve the second. $\frac{sin56}{12} = \frac{sinB}{13}$ to get that angle B is 64 degrees. Now find C: 180-56-64=60. And now for side c: $\frac{sin56}{12} = \frac{sin60}{c}$ and c=12.5. That's your first triangle. In the second triangle, side a is the swinging side and that length doesn't change. Neither does the angle measure. Angle B has a supplement of 180-64 which is 116. So the new angle B in the second triangle is 116, but the length of b doesn't change, either. I'll show you how you know you're right about that in just a sec. The only angle AND side that both change are C and c. If our new triangle has angles 56 and 116, then C has to be 8 degrees. Using the Law of Sines again, we can solve for c: $\frac{sin8}{c} = \frac{sin56}{12}$ and c = 2.0. We can look at this new triangle and determine the side measures are correct because the longest side will always be across from the largest angle, and the shortest side will always be across from the smallest angle. The new angle B is 116, which is across from the longest side of 13. These are hard. Ugh.
