Answer:

47.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to first subtract 80 and 42 to find the decrease first. This is 38. Now, you have to divide this by the original number which is 80. So 38 divided by 80 is 0.475.

Now multiply this by 100.

You can easily move the decimal point to the right.

So you would get 47.5%

Hope this helped!

Solve for x in triangle

fenix001 [56]

X=60degrees

bc you find 180-125 bc it is a straight angle. You get 55 degrees. Then you add 65+55=120. 180-120=60 degrees. This is because every triangle must have a sum of angles that equals 180 degrees.

Hope this helps.

Free fall reaches 216km per hour. What is rate in meters per second.? How many meters fall during 20 seconds free fall?

lakkis [162]

Given,

Rate of free fall = 216 km/h

Solution,

km/h to m/s is converted as follows :

$216\ \dfrac{km}{h}=216\times \dfrac{1000\ m}{3600\ s}\\\\=60\ m/s$

So, the rate of fall is 60 m/s.

If t = 20 s

Assume, initial velocity = 0

It will move under the action of gravity.

Using equation of motion,

$h=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\h=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 10\times 20^2\\\\h=2000\ m$

Hence, this is all for the solution.

Ahhhh help everyone help me solve this ....

Answer:

$y = \frac{18 {w}^{2} {x}^{2} {z}^{2} }{25}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{3wx}{ \sqrt{2y} } = \frac{5}{2z} \\ \\ \sqrt{2y} \times 5 = 3wx \times 2z \\ \\ \sqrt{2y} \times 5 = 6wxz \\ \\ \sqrt{2y} = \frac{6wxz}{5} \\ \\ {( \sqrt{2y} })^{2} = {( \frac{6wxz}{5} })^{2} \\ \\ 2y = \frac{36 {w}^{2} {x}^{2} {z}^{2} }{25} \\ \\ \\ y = \frac{36 {w}^{2} {x}^{2} {z}^{2} }{25} \div 2 \\ \\ \\ y = \frac{36 {w}^{2} {x}^{2} {z}^{2} }{25} \times \frac{1}{2} \\ \\ \\ y = \frac{36 {w}^{2} {x}^{2} {z}^{2} }{50} \\ \\ \\ y = \frac{18 {w}^{2} {x}^{2} {z}^{2} }{25}$
