How do you work out percentages

1 answer:

3 0

If you are converting, make the denomenator 100 for fractions or look at 2 decimal places for decimals. if you want to find a certain percentage for a total, make the total of the item 100% and from there find 1% and multiply to the wanted percentage

Window design. A triangular window on Ross camp's new scary boat has two sides that measure 87 centimeters 64 centimeter, respec

krek1111 [17]

Since the perimeter must not exceed 291.
Let the third side be x.

x + 87 + 64 < 291
x + 151 < 291.
x < 291 -151.
x < 140. (First)

But for a triangle there is what is called the Triangle Inequality Theorem. That given the two sides of a tringle, the third side of the triangle must greater than the positive difference between the two sides and less than the sum of the two sides.

So for this case. 87 and 64.

x > ( 87 - 64). x > 23.
x < (87 + 64) x < 151. Combine both inequalities.

23 < x < 151 (second).

Combining First and second. Both must be satisfied.
So we have a more accurate answer as:

23 < x < 140. x is greater than 23 and x is less than 140.

x could be 24, 25, 26, 27, ......, 139. cm.

I hope this helps.

What is the area of this triangle ?

oee [108]

Answer:

Area of triangle is 9.88 units^2

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the area of triangle

Given E(5,1), F(0,4), D(0,8)

We will use formula:

$Area\,\,of\,\,triangle =\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)s-c)} \\where\,\, s = \frac{a+b+c}{2}$

We need to find the lengths of side DE, EF and FD

Length of side DE = a = $\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2}$

Length of side DE = a = $=\sqrt{(5-0)^2+(1-8)^2}\\=\sqrt{(5)^2+(-7)^2}\\=\sqrt{25+49}\\=\sqrt{74}\\=8.60$

Length of side EF = b = $\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2}$

Length of side EF = b = $=\sqrt{(0-5)^2+(4-1)^2}\\=\sqrt{(-5)^2+(3)^2}\\=\sqrt{25+9}\\=\sqrt{34}\\=5.8$

Length of side FD = c = $\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2}$

Length of side FD = c = $=\sqrt{(0-0)^2+(8-4)^2}\\=\sqrt{(0)^2+(4)^2}\\=\sqrt{0+16}\\=\sqrt{16}\\=4$

so, a= 8.60, b= 5.8 and c = 4

s = a+b+c/2

s= 8.6+5.8+4/2

s= 9.2

Area of triangle= $=\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)s-c)}\\=\sqrt{9.2(9.2-8.6)(9.2-5.8)(9.2-4)}\\=\sqrt{9.2(0.6)(3.4)(5.2)}\\=\sqrt{97.5936}\\=9.88$

So, area of triangle is 9.88 units^2

Which segment of the triangle will give you the height of your peak? Write the equation for the proportion that will allow you t

Novosadov [1.4K]

The segment that will give the height of the peak is the segment that is located from the right angle to the peak.
To find the height, we can use the fact that we have two similar triangles.
We are going to define a variable.
We have:
x: height of the peak.
For similar triangles, we have the following relationship:
$\frac{x}{20} = \frac{6}{3}$
From here, we clear the height of the peak
Answer:
the equation for the proportion that will allow you to find the height of your peak is:
$\frac{x}{20} = \frac{6}{3}$
