Answer:

c = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

a² + 12a + c

To complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the a- term )² to a² + 12a

a² + 2(6)a + 6²

= (a + 6)² + 36

Hence the value of c = 36

The answer is p v q and some other one, I haven't done logic in 2 years already, so I don't know the other one. BUT, if p is true, then p v q HAS to be true because if one of the statements, p or q, is true, then p v q is true. For or statements to be true, at least one of the statements included has to be true.

Polygon C and polygon D are similar. The perimeter of polygon C is 192 inches, and the perimeter of polygon D is 48 inches. If o

Marianna [84]

Answer:

B. 2 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, put the two perimeters together to form a fraction.

192/48, which can simplify to 4/1

Now, following the order in which you put the perimeters (I used C/D,) set it equal to the sides.

$\frac{4}{1} = \frac{8}{x}$

Now, cross multiply. (multiply 1 and 8, 4 and x.)

$4x = 8$

Now, solve.

x=2 inches.

Pls answer 17 and 18 I will give brainist

Step-by-step explanation:

17. We need to understand what an indirect proof is. In an indirect proof, you prove a statement by showing that the negation of the statement is false.

The "then" part of the conditional is the "to prove" statement.

In an indirect proof, we assume the opposite of what we want to prove, this is also called proof by contradiction.

So if we need to prove angle A is not an obtuse angle, we will assume it is and then use the proof format to show that angle A cannot be obtuse.

<h2>The answer is B: Assume angle A is an obtuse angle</h2>

18. This question is asking us to use an indirect proof again. The "then" part of the statement is "KL > JK" and is the "to prove" statement.

We need the opposite of this, which would be assuming that KL <u><</u> JK.

<h2>The answer is B: Assume that KL <u><</u> JK</h2><h2>I'm always happy to help :)</h2>

1. $239 television; 10% discount 2. $72 game; 20% discount

Fiesta28 [93]

These are 16 questions and 16 answers

Answer:

See below and the attachment.

Explanation:

From 1 to 10, find the sale price to the nearest cent:

1. $239 television; 10% discount

$Sale\text{ }price=Orignal\text{ }price-discount\\ \\ Sale\text{ }price=\$239-10\%\times \$239=\\\\ Sale\text{ }price=\$239-0.10\times \$239=\\\\ Sale\text{ }price=\$239-\$23.9=\$215.10$

2. $72 game; 20% discount

You can also multiply by the factor (1 - % discount);

For instance for 20% discount, the factor is 1 - 20% = 1 -0.20 = 0.80. Which means that you can multiply the original price by the factor 0.80 to get the sale price:

$Sale\text{ }price=Orignal\text{ }price\times factor\\ \\ Sale\text{ }price=\$72\times(1-0.20)=\\\\ Sale\text{ }price=\$72\times0.80=\\\\ Sale\text{ }price=\$57.60$

3. $18.95 football; 15% discount

$Sale\text{ }price=Orignal\text{ }price\times factor\\ \\ Sale\text{ }price=\$18.95\times(1-0.15)=\\\\ Sale\text{ }price=\$18.95\times0.85=\\\\ Sale\text{ }price=\$16.11$

4. $10.99 CD; 25% discount

$Sale\text{ }price=Orignal\text{ }price\times factor\\ \\ Sale\text{ }price=\$10.99\times(1-0.25)=\\\\ Sale\text{ }price=\$10.99\times0.75=\\\\ Sale\text{ }price=\$8.24$

5. $149 MP3 player; 40% discount

$Sale\text{ }price=Orignal\text{ }price\times factor\\ \\ Sale\text{ }price=\$149\times(1-0.40)=\\\\ Sale\text{ }price=\$149\times0.60=\\\\ Sale\text{ }price=\$89.40$

6. $213 ski jacket; 30% discount

$Sale\text{ }price=Orignal\text{ }price\times factor\\ \\ Sale\text{ }price=\$213\times(1-0.30)=\\\\ Sale\text{ }price=\$213\times0.70=\\\\ Sale\text{ }price=\$149.10$

7. $595 refrigerator; 20% discount

$Sale\text{ }price=Orignal\text{ }price\times factor\\ \\ Sale\text{ }price=\$595\times(1-0.20)=\\\\ Sale\text{ }price=\$595\times0.80=\\\\ Sale\text{ }price=\$476.00$

8. $64 video game; 25% discount

$Sale\text{ }price=Orignal\text{ }price\times factor\\ \\ Sale\text{ }price=\$64\times(1-0.25)=\\\\ Sale\text{ }price=\$64\times0.75=\\\\ Sale\text{ }price=\$48.00$

9. $119 croquet set; 50% discount

You should not have problems with this: 50% discount means that you will pay half the price.

Hence, the sale price is:

$Sale\text{ }price=Orignal\text{ }price/2 \\\\ Sale\text{ }price=\$59.50$

10. $14.99 clock; 10% discount

$Sale\text{ }price=Orignal\text{ }price\times factor\\ \\ Sale\text{ }price=\$14.99\times(1-0.10)=\\\\ Sale\text{ }price=\$14.99\times0.90=\\\\ Sale\text{ }price=\$13.49$

11. A radio is on sale for $50. If this price represents a 10% discount from the original price, what is the original price to the nearest nickel? Hint: need to use a proportion to find the whole.

First note that if the discount is 10%, the sale price is 100% - 10% = 90% of the original price.

Let's set the proportion that represents the proportionality between the two ratios, starting with the fact that $ is the 90% and original price is the 100% (the whole part):

First ratio: $50/90

Second ratio: x /100

Proportion: first ratio = second ratio

$\$50/90=x/100$

Solve for x:

$x=100\times\$50/90=\$55.55$

Hence, the original price is $55.55

12. A box of laundry detergent is on sale for $6.50. If this price represents a 40% discount from the original price, what is the original price to the nearest cent?

Use the same hint used in the question above: set a proportion.

Remember a 40% discount means that the sale price is 60% of the original price:

$\$6.50/60=x/100\\ \\ x=100\times\$6.50/60=\$10.83$

13. Determine the price of a $35 basketball that is on sale for 50% off the regular price.

Again, 50% discount means that the sale price will be half of the original price, or the original price will be double of the sale price.

Here, the original price is $35, hence the sale price is $35/2 = $17.50

14. Dominic bought a new alarm clock that was on sale for $18.75. If this price represents a 30% discount from the original price, what is the original price to the nearest cent?

Since the price is after a 30% discount, the sale price is a 70% of the original price, and you set the proportion:

$\$18.75/70=x/100$

Solve for x:

$x=100\times\$18.75/70=\$26.79$

15. Michael bought a new fishing rod. The regular price of the fishing rod was $125.99. He bought it on sale with a 15% discount. Sales tax of 3% is applied to the discounted total. What was the sale price with tax of Michael’s fishing rod to the nearest cent?
