Answer: Rs. 25,300

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the original price of the plot:

Assume this price is x:

x * ( 1 - 15%) = 18,700

0.85x = 18,700

x = 18,700/0.85

x = Rs. 22,000

To make a gain of 15%, sell at:

= 22,000 * (1 + 15%)

= 22,000 * 1.15

= Rs. 25,300

Point I is on line segment HJ. Given I J equals 3X +3, HI equals 3X-1, and HJ equals 3X +8, determine the numerical length of HJ

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 3 + 3x - 1 = 3x + 8

6x + 2 = 3x + 8

3x + 2 = 8

3x = 6

x = 2

HJ= 3(2) + 8 =6 + 8 = 14

HI= 3(2) - 1 = 6 - 1 = 5

IJ = 3(2) + 3 = 6 + 3 = 9

An isosceles triangle has an angle that measures 38degrees. What measures are possible for the other two angles? Choose all that

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

71° and 71°.

⠀

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle having two sides equal along with one different side is called an isosceles triangle.

⠀

So, Let us assume the other sides (two equal sides) of the isosceles triangle as x. As the different side is already given in the question.

⠀

We know that,

The sum of all angles of a triangle is 180°

⠀

So, According to the question :

⠀

${\longrightarrow \it\qquad { \ { { 38 \: }^{ \circ} + x + x = 180{}^{ \circ} }}}$

⠀

${\longrightarrow \it\qquad { \ { { 38 \: }^{ \circ} + 2x = 180{}^{ \circ} }}}$

⠀

${\longrightarrow \it\qquad { \ { 2x = 180{}^{ \circ} - { 38 \: }^{ \circ}}}}$

⠀

${\longrightarrow \it\qquad { \ { 2x = 142{}^{ \circ} }}}$

⠀

${\longrightarrow \it\qquad { \ { x = \dfrac{142{}^{ \circ}}{2} }}}$

⠀

${\longrightarrow \it\qquad { \pmb { x = 71^{ \circ} }}}$

⠀

Therefore,

The measure of the two other angles of the isosceles triangle are 71° and 71°.
