31/100 is 0.31 as a fraction
M < 2 and m < 3 are supplementary angles which add up to 180 degrees.
< 2 + < 3 = 180
3x + 17 + 5x - 21 = 180
8x - 4 = 180
8x = 180 + 4
8x = 184
x = 184/8
x = 23
m < 2 = 3x + 17 = 3(23) + 17 = 69 + 17 = 86 degrees
m < 3 = 5x - 21 = 5(23) - 21 = 115 - 21 = 94 degrees
m < 1 and m < 2 are corresponding angles....they are equal.
so m < 1 = 86 degrees <===
Answer:
45%
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula to work out the decrease is:
Percentage Decrease= actual decrease / original amount X 100%
1) So firstly, we have to work out the decrease, to do this we have to do is do $750-$412.50= $337.50
2) We can now substitute this into our formula which will now be. (We will also add the original amount, which is $750.00)
Percentage Decrease= 337.50 / 750.00 X 100% = 45
The percentage decrease is 45%
Answer:
Area A = 12 = 1/2 × x × (5x-2)
5x^2 - 2x -24 = 0
Solution;
Base x = 2.4
Height h = 10 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
base of the triangle is x feet;
Base = x
The height of a triangle is 2 less than 5 times it's base;
Height = 5x - 2
the area of the triangle is 12 square feet;
Area A = 12 ft^2
The area of a triangle is;
Area A = 1/2 × base × height
Substituting the base and height;;
Area A = 1/2 × x × (5x-2)
Area A = 1/2 × (5x^2 - 2x)
Area A = 12
12 = 1/2 × (5x^2 - 2x)
Multiply through by 2.
24 = (5x^2 - 2x)
5x^2 - 2x -24 = 0
Solving the simultaneous equation;
x = 2.4 or -2
Since the base cannot be negative;
x = 2.4 ft
Height h = 5x -2 = 5(2.4) - 2 = 12 - 2 = 10 ft
Base x = 2.4
Height h = 10 ft
