Short Answer: D

Solution

Difference in weight = 8.68 - 6.2 = 2.48 pounds

%increase = x

6.2 * x/100 = 2.48                         Divide by 6.2 on both sides

(6.2 * x /100) ÷ 6.2 = 2.48 / 6.2    Simplify the left. Divide the right.

x / 100 = 0.4                                  Multiply both sides by 100

100 * x / 100 = 0.4 * 100                Combine

x = 40 %

Answer

The Puppy went up 40% in weight.

D because 6.2=100
6.2×1.4=8.68
so 100×1.4=140
140-100=40
so it's 40%

Multiple similarity transformations are performed on a triangle. which elements must be preserved?
romanna [79]
Answer – Angle Measure
 Generally speaking, when similarity transformations are performed on a triangle, the angle measure is preserved, whereas the length of the sides may be enlarged or reduced depending on the scale factor of the transformation, thus giving rise to similar triangles with corresponding angles that have exactly the same measure and corresponding sides that are proportional. <span>

Write the equation for a circle that satisfies the given conditions.
Alisiya [41]

The standard form of a circle is:

(x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2

Your center is (-10,  -6) and your radius is 9

Plug them into the equation and you get

(x-(-10))+(y-(-6)) = 9^2

(x+10)^2 + (y+6)^2=81

The correct answer is D.
