Answer:12.59

Step-by-step explanation:

enter image source here

From the diagram you can see that we have constructed a right triangle, with height A and base 15.

Length of shadow = 15 feet.

Height of flagpole = A.

We know the angle of elevation is

40

∘

. Using this angle and the tangent ratio, we can find A.

∴

)

=

A 6-inch-by-10-inch rectangle is cut down to a 5-inch-by-8-inch rectangle. What is the percent of decrease in the area? Express
Serjik [45]

Answer:

  33 1/3% decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

The original area is (6in)(10in) = 60 in². The reduced area is (5in)(8in) = 40 in². Then the change in area is ...

  ((new value)/(old value) -1) × 100%

  (40/60 -1)×100% = -1/3×100% = -33 1/3%

The area decreased by 33 1/3%.
