<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>

The approximate percent change is:

55%

<h3><u>Step-by-step explanation:</u></h3>

It is given that:

The new number, 550, is 200 more than the original number.

Let the original number be: x

That means:

550=200+x

x=550-200

x=350

Now, the percent change is calculated as:

[(New number-Original number)/original number]×100

= \dfrac{550-350}{350}\times 100\\\\=\dfrac{200}{350}\times 100\\\\=57.14\%

which is approximately equal to :

55%

Right triangles abc and dbc with right angle c are given below. If cos(a)=15,ab=12 and cd=2, find the length of bd.
dmitriy555 [2]

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we have that

cos(A)=\frac{1}{5} \\ AB=12\ units\\ CD=2\ units

Step 1

<u>Find the value of AC</u>

we know that

in the right triangle ABC

cos (A)=(AC/AB)\\AC=AB*cos(A)

substitute the values in the formula

AC=12*(1/5)\\ AC=2.4\ units

Step 2

<u>Find the value of BC</u>

we know that

in the right triangle ABC

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

AB^{2} =AC^{2}+BC^{2}\\ BC^{2}=AB^{2} -AC^{2}

substitute the values

BC^{2}=12^{2} -2.4^{2}\\BC^{2}= 138.24\\ BC=11.76\ units

Step 3  

<u>Find the value of BD</u>

we know that

in the right triangle BCD

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

BD^{2} =DC^{2}+BC^{2}

substitute the values  

BD^{2} =2^{2}+11.76^{2}

BD=11.93\ units

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

the length of BD is 11.93 units

Marcus is building a fence around his rectangular backyard. The length of his backyard is 75 3/4 ft, and the width is 81 1/4 ft.
Allisa [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

4,923.75ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the backyard = Length * width \

Area of the backyard = 75 3/4 * 81 1/4

Area of the backyard = 303/4 * 325/4

Area of the backyard = 6,154.6875ft²

If 3/4 of the fence is finished, the area of the finished part is expressed as;

Finished part = 1/5 * 6,154.6875

Finished part = 1,230.9375ft²

Part left unfinished = 6,154.6875-1,230.9375

Part left unfinished  = 4,923.75ft²
