A right-angled triangle and its hypotenuse.

In geometry, a hypotenuse is the longest side of a right-angled triangle, the side opposite of the right angle. The length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle can be found using the Pythagorean theorem, which states that the square of the length of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides. For example, if one of the other sides has a length of 3 (when squared, 9) and the other has a length of 4 (when squared, 16), then their squares add up to 25. The length of the hypotenuse is the square root of 25, that is, 5.

A picnic table was originally priced at 40, but Megan waited to buy the picnic table on sale from 75% off. If she paid 10% sale

Mila [183]

Answer:

she spent total price of 13 on the picnic table

Explanation: 

Original price of the table = 40

Since she paid 10% of the sale tax after the sale then the total amount she spend is

Discount = (discount percentage – sale tax ) × original price

= (75% -10%) × 40

= 65 % ×40

= $\frac{65}{100} \times 40$

=26

Hence after the discount amount

Original price – discount price

= 40-26 = 13

Hence she spent total price of 13 on the picnic table

1. A limited-edition soccer ball costs $30, and the sales tax is 6%. What is the total cost?

ra1l [238]

Answer:

$31.80

Step-by-step explanation:

The ball will cost 100% of its price plus 6% of its price for a total of 106%.

To use percentages as a factor and multiply, they must be divide by 100, making the multiplication factor version of 106% 1.06.

Multiply the cost of the ball by your multiplication factor:

30 x 1.06 = 31.8

Money is written to two decimal places, making your answer $31.80
