1. 50%
2. 25%
3. 60%
Example: What is 10% of 150?
Convert the problem to an equation using the percentage formula: P% * X = Y
P is 10%, X is 150, so the equation is 10% * 150 = Y
Convert 10% to a decimal by removing the percent sign and dividing by 100: 10/100 = 0.10
Substitute 0.10 for 10% in the equation: 10% * 150 = Y becomes 0.10 * 150 = Y
Do the math: 0.10 * 150 = 15
Y = 15
So 10% of 150 is 15
Double check your answer with the original question: What is 10% of 150? Multiply 0.10 * 150 = 15
Answers:
Perimeter = 58.5 centimeters
Area = 163.15 square centimeters
===============================================
Explanations:
To get the perimeter, you add up the three exterior (aka outer) sides. So you add up everything but the length measuring 13 cm, as this segment is not on the outside of the triangle. Imagine this is a parking lot and you want to put fencing around the outer sides. You won't build any fencing to run through the middle of the lot (assuming you don't want to subdivide)
So we add up 15.4, 18 and 25.1 to get 15.4+18+25.1 = 58.5 centimeters. The units stay at centimeters. We don't go to "square centimeters" like we do with the area below.
------------
To get the area of the largest triangle, we multiply the base and height, then divide by 2. The base is always perpendicular to the height
base = 25.1
height = 13
area = base*height/2 = 25.1*13/2 = 163.15 square cm
You write "square" before the "cm" to indicate the proper units for the area. Think of a 1 cm by 1 cm rectangle which has area of 1*1 = 1 square cm. This idea applies to triangles as well because we can subdivide the triangle into smaller squares, or you can move one piece of a triangle to another side to reshape the figure into a rectangle.
Answer:
115 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
The line RQ meets at 115 degrees (Look at the bottom numbers)
It's not 65 degrees because the angle is obtuse.
