The answer would be C. 72
It increased a total of 4 inches.
The product has decreased by 80 %
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
The product of the original numbers: xy
One number is decreased by 75 %
Let x be the number decreased by 75 %
new number = x - 75 % of x

Another number is decreased by 20 %
Let y be the number decreased by 20 %
new number = y - 20 % of y

<em><u>Now the product is given as:</u></em>

<em><u>Now we have to find the percent decreased</u></em>
Subtract new product and original product and then divide by original product . Multiply the result by 100 to get percentage

Here negative sign denotes decrease
Thus the product has decreased by 80 %
Find the area of each shape and add.Let's start with the first semi-circle(half-circle)
If the area of a circle is πr² , then the area of a semi-circle is 1/2πr² where is 22/7 or 3.14, and r is the radius which is 1.8 meters
A=1/2πr²
A=1/2*22/7*1.8*1.8
A=5.09 m²(rounded to nearest hundredth)
Since the semi-circles are two and have the same radius, multiply the area of the first one by two or go through the same process again.
So 5.09 *2=10.18meters square is the area of the two semi-circles
Now, let's find the area of a rectangle which is length times width, where length is 6 meters and width is (1.8+1.8, because 1.8 is half the width)=3.6 meters
A=l*w
A=6*3.6
A=21.6meters square
Therefore the area of the shape is 10.18m²+21.6m²=219.888m²
The equation of the line is 
Explanation:
The given equation is 
<u>Slope:</u>
Since, the equation of the line is perpendicular to the equation
, then, the slope is given by

Hence, the slope is 
<u>Equation of the line:</u>
The equation of the line can be determined using the formula,

Substituting the point (-2,3) and the slope
, in the above formula, we get,

Simplifying, we get,



Therefore, the equation of the line is
