Answer:

60%

Step-by-step explanation:

20,000

we can move the decimal place one to the left to find 10 percent

2,000

multiply 10 x 2 to find twenty percent or 4,000

we add this to the original total. 24,000

then add the 8,000

32,000

we know find one percent of the original total

200

and find the difference between the two totals

32000-20000 = 12,000

12000 divided by 200 which is 6

multiply six by ten to get

60 percent

In spherical geometry, all points are points on the surface of a sphere. A line is a circle on the sphere whose diameter is equa
mamaluj [8]

Answer: It is not possible that two triangles that are similar and not congruent in spherical geometry.

Step-by-step explanation:

For instance, taking a circle on the sphere whose diameter is equal to the diameter of the sphere and inside is an equilateral triangle, because the sphere is perfect, if we draw a circle (longitudinal or latitudinal lines) to form a circle encompassing an equally shaped triangle at different points of the sphere will definately yield equal size.

in other words, triangles formed in a sphere must be congruent and also similar meaning having the same shape and must definately have the same size.

Therefore, it is not possible for two triangles in a sphere that are similar but not congruent.

Two triangles in sphere that are similar must be congruent.

(3 1/2 - 9 3/4) divided by (-2.5)
vlabodo [156]

Answer: 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{3\frac{1}{2}-9\frac{3}{4}  }{-2.5}

Solve the numerator first.

3\frac{1}{2}-9\frac{3}{4}  =9-3(\frac{1}{2}-\frac{3}{4})=6(\frac{1*4-2*3}{2*4})=6(\frac{4-6}{8})=6(\frac{-2}{8})=-6\frac{1}{4}

We are left with:\frac{-6\frac{1}{4} }{-2.5}

To be able to work this out, we must convert the fraction to a decimal.

To do this, you can either go from a mixed number to an improper fraction and then from an improper fraction to a decimal, or you can divide the fractional part of the mixed number and add it to the whole number.

6+(1/4)

6+(0.25)

6+0.25

6.25

--------------------------------------------

\frac{-6.25}{-2.5}

Now, we know that this is a positive outcome because we have 2 negatives dividing.

6.25/2.5

To be able to work this out we have 1 more step to go. We have to convert these decimals to whole numbers; to do this, we multiply by 1 followed by as many zeros as the biggest number of decimals. In this case, the biggest number of decimals is 2, therefore; we must multiply by 1 followed by 2 zeros rather 100.

6.25*100/2.5*100

625/250

-----------------------------------------------------------

Let's solve this.

625/250=2.5

500

given a right-angled triangle with perimeter 18. The sum of the squares of the three side lengths is 128. What is the area of th
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

9units²

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle has 3 sides. Let the length of the three sides be a, b, c.

If the perimeter of the triangle is 18, then;

P = a+b+c

a+b+c = 18... 1

If the sum of the squares of the three side lengths is 128, this means;

a²+b²+c² = 128... 2

Since the triangle is also right angled, according to Pythagoras theorem;

c² = a²+b²... 3 (taking c as the hypotenuse)

Substitute equation 3 into 2;

(a²+b²)+c² = 128

c²+c² = 128

2c² = 128

c² = 128/2

c² = 64

c = √64

c = 8

Substituting c = 8 into 1

a+b+c = 18

a+b+8=18

a+b = 10 ...... 3

Substituting c = 8 into 2

a²+b²+c² = 128

a²+b²+8² = 128

a²+b²+64 = 128

a²+b²= 64..... 4

Solve equation 3 and 4 simultaneously;

a+b = 10

a²+b²= 64

From 4; a = 10-b

Substitute a = 10-b into 4;

(10-b)²+b² = 64

100-20b+b²+b² = 64

2b²-20b+100-64 = 0

2b²-20b+36 = 0

Divide through by 2:

b²-10b+18 = 0

b = 10±√10²-4(18)/2

b = 10±√100-72/2

b =( 10±√28)/2

b =(10±√4×7)/2

b = (10±2√7)/2

b = 5±√7

Hence b = 5+√7

If a+ b = 10

a+(5+√7 ) = 10

a = 10-(5+√7)

a = 10-5-√7

a = 5-√7

Area of the triangle A = 1/2 ab

A = 1/2 × (5+√7) × (5-√7)

A = 1/2 × (25-5√7+5√7-7)

A = 1/2 × (25-7)

A = 1/2 × 18

A = 9

Hence the are of the triangle is 9units²

Ind the 7th term of the geometric sequence with the given terms.
arlik [135]
To find the seventh term of the geometric sequence, divide first the fifth term by the fourth term to obtain the common ratio. -40 divide by -8 is 5. Then, multiply a5 by the common ratio, 5 twice or a4 by 5 three times. Both solutions will give, an a7 equal to -1000. Thus, a7 is -1000.
