3/8 equals 0.375 as a decimal number and as a percentage it equals 37.5%. I just divided 3 by 8 and multiplied by one hundred.
Question:
The parallelogram shown below has an area of 40 units squared.
Find the missing base.
Answer:
See Explanation Below
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is incomplete as the diagram which shows the dimension of the parallelogram is not attached.
However, I'll give a general explanation on how to get the base of the parallelogram. If you follow this explanation, you'll get the right answer regarding your question.
The area of a parallelogram is calculated as thus.
Area = Base * Height
Given that the area = 40 units²
Let's assume the height of the parallelogram is 10 unit.
All you need to do is to plug in these values in the formula above..
Area = Base * Height becomes
40 = Base * 10
Divide both sides by 10
40/10 = Base * 10/10
4 = Base
Hence, Base = 4 units
Or take for instance the height is 5 units.
You'll still follow the simple steps as it is above.
Area = Base * Height becomes
40 = Base * 5
Divide both sides by 5
40/5 = Base * 5/5
8 = Base
Hence, Base = 8 units
(a) The parabola opens downward.
(b) The axis of symmetry is at x = -2.
(c) The vertex is at (-2,0).
(d) The x-intercepts is (-2,0), and the y-intercept is at (0,-1).
Answer:
Kamira has 9 apples and John has 14 apples
Step-by-step explanation:
first you add 6+4 to get 10
then add 4+10 to get 14
If you decrease something by 4 percent,
you are keeping (100% - 4%) or 96% of the original
so multiply by the original amount by 96 percent or .96
If you have 100 pennies, and you give 4 away ( 4 percent decrease), you still have 96 pennies. You are keeping 96 percent of what you started with. This works no matter how much you start with.
Example:
you have 40 dollars
4% decrease
40 * .04 = 1.6 take this away
40 - 1.6 = 38.4 left
you keep 96 percent
40 * .96 = 38.4 left
