To solve this exercise you must follow the proccedure shown below:

 1. You have the the lengths of the sides of equilateral triangle which is inscribed inside a similar triangle are 10 cm. Therefore, the area is:

 A1=bxh/2
 A1=10 cmx10 cm/2
 A1=50 cm²

 2. <span>The larger triangle is dilated with a scale factor of 3 from the smaller triangle. Using the ratio of the area:

 (1/3)</span>²<span>=50/A2
 1/9=50/A2
 A2=450 cm</span>²
<span>
 3. The area of the shaded region is:

 At=A2-A1
 At=400 cm</span>²

What single decimal multiplier would you use to decrease by 12% followed by a 4% increase
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

The single decimal multiplier is 0.9152

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to write a single decimal number that would work as to decrease an original value by 12% and increase it also by 4%

Let the original value be x

12% = 12/100 = 0.12

So decreasing by 12% would be x-0.12x = 0.88x

Now this 0.88x, we shall increase it by 4%

4% is same as 0.04

Thus by increasing , we have;

0.88x + 0.04(0.88x)

= 0.88x + 0.0352x = 0.9152x

So the single factor we are multiplying by is 0.9152

Answer:

(13)

<u>x= 8</u>

<u>y=11</u>

(14)

<u>x= 20</u>

<u>y=20.75</u>

(15)

<u>x=9</u>

<u>y=13</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

(13) 8x-1 = 11x -25

24=3x

<u>x= 8</u>

8(8)-1 +15y-48= 180

15y=165

<u>y=11</u>

(14) 7x-44 + 4x + 4= 180

11x= 220

<u>x= 20</u>

4(20)+4+39= 8y-43

123=8y-43

166=8y

<u>y=20.75</u>

(15) 12x+1=15x-26

3x=27

<u>x=9</u>

28+15(9)-26+4y-9=180

4y=52

<u>y=13</u>
