The sales tax = $48.50
Let x be the sales tax rate expressed as a percent.
So x% * 776 = 48.50
x/100 * 776 = 48.50
x * 776 = 4850 (multiply both sides by 100)
x = 4850/776
x= 6.25%
So the sales tax rate expressed as a percent is 6.25%.

Line m and point P are shown below. Part A: Using a compass and straightedge, construct line n parallel to line m and passing th
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

  see the attached

Step-by-step explanation:

In the attachment, we will refer to the circles, bottom-to-top, as circles 1, 2 and 3. The black points of intersection, bottom-to-top, will be referred to by the letters A, B, C, D. The transversal line through the white point (W) and pink point (P) will be line q.

Step 1. Draw line q through point P so it intersects line m at some convenient point. Label that point W.

Step 2. Choose an arbitrary radius for your compass. Here, we have chosen it to be the length WB. It happens to be less than half the length of WP, but that is not a requirement.

Step 3. Draw an arc of the chosen radius centered at W and intersecting line q and line m. Label the intersection points A (on line m) and B (on line q). These intersection points are on circle 1.

Step 4. Draw an arc of the same radius centered at P. It should be a long enough arc that it would intersect the proposed line parallel to m. Label the intersection point on line q with label C. This intersection point is on circle 3.

Step 5. Adjust the compass width (radius) to the distance from A to B. This is the radius of circle 2.

Step 6. Draw an arc centered at C so that it intersects the arc of Step 4. This is circle 2, and you want it to intersect circle 3. Label that point of intersection D.

Step 7. Draw line PD parallel to m.

_____

The point of the construction is to create congruent alternate interior angles AWB and CPD, so that lines AW and PD are parallel.

before getting to school john has a few errands to run john has to walk 5 blocks to the galley and 9 blocks to the library befor
Serggg [28]

Answer:

  9 blocks

Step-by-step explanation:

The total of what John has already walked and the number more he must walk will be equal to the number he has to walk to get to school.

  12 + more = 5 + 9 + 7

  more = 9 + 5 + 7 - 12 . . . . . subtract 12 from both sides

  more = 9

John must walk 9 blocks more.

_____

We recognize that 5+7 = 12, so that last part of the sum totals zero.

Area triangles? it says show work so pls do
coldgirl [10]

\large{\underline{\underline{\pmb{\sf {\color {blue}{Solution:}}}}}}

Given,

Area = 225 yd²

Base = 30 yd

Height = [To be calculated]

To find:

The height of the given triangle.

We know that, area of a triangle is:

\frac{1}{2}  \times (b \times h) \\  \\  \leadsto \frac{1}{2} \times (30 \times h) \\  \\  \leadsto \frac{1}{2}   \times 30h \\  \\  \leadsto  \frac{1}{ \cancel{2}} \times  \cancel{30}h \\  \\  \leadsto1 \times 15h \\  \\  \leadsto \: h = 15 \: yd

Therefore, the require height is 15 yd.

\green\starProof:

\frac{1}{2}  \times (b \times h) \\  \\  \leadsto \frac{1}{2}  \times (30 \times 15) \\  \\  \leadsto \frac{1}{ \cancel{2}}   \times  \cancel{450} \\  \\  \leadsto1 \times 225  \\  \\  area = 225  {yd}^{2}
