Answer:

57.45% increase

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for percent change is (new - old)/new x 100.

The new value is $282 and the old value is $120.

Plug that into the formula:

(282 - 120)/282 x 100

= 57.45%

I hope this helped!

<h3>Answer:  x = 35</h3>

==========================================================

Explanation:

All three angles must add to 180. This is true for any triangle.

x+x+110 = 180

2x+110 = 180

2x = 180-110 ... subtract 110 from both sides

2x = 70

x = 70/2 .... divide both sides by 2

x = 35

As a check: 35+35+110 = 180 which helps confirm the answer.

Point m is the midpoint of ab¯¯¯¯¯ . am=3x+3, and ab=8x−6. what is the length of am¯¯¯¯¯¯ ?
LuckyWell [14K]
As given m is a midpoint of ab. So am is half of ab.

So we can write

am =  \frac{ab}{2}

As given am = 3x+3 , ab = 8x - 6.

So 3x+3 = \frac{8x - 6}{2}

3x+3 =  \frac{2(4x - 3)}{2}

3x+3 = 4x - 3

3+3 = 4x - 3x&#10;

6 = x

So x = 6.

So length of am = 3x+3 = 3*6 + 3 = 21

Can somebody please clearly (and correctly) explain how to successfully work out this question?
STatiana [176]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the number of tiles needed

divide 4m by 0.2m for row of tiles ⇒ 20 tiles per row

divide 3m by 0.2m for column of tiles ⇒ 15 tiles per column

number of tiles = 20 × 15 = 300

number of packs = 300 ÷ 10 = 30

cost = 30 × £34.99 = £1049.70

Since she has £1000 to spend and £1049.70 > £1000

She does not have enough to cover the wall

Explain why all squares are similar????? and please help with question below!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oliga [24]
That's not a squre
anyway, we use ratios
base:person to corner=28:8
height to height=x:5
so
28/8=x/5 becasue same ratio
28/8=14/4=7/2
7/2=x/5
multiply
35/10=2x/10
35=2x
divide 2
17.5=x

x=17.5 feet
