Answer:

120 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the new cost is 144 pounds and this is 20% more,  this is 120% of the original price. Remember 100+20 = 120. To find the original price set up a proportion with these values:

Solve for the original price by cross multiplying numerator with denominator.

x(120) = 144(100)

120x = 14400

x= 120 pounds

Let set A = {odd numbers between 0 and 100} and set B = {numbers between 50 and 150 that are evenly divisible by 5}. What is A ∩
fgiga [73]
<span>A = {odd numbers between 0 and 100}
</span><span>A = {1, 3, 5, 7,...., 95, 97, 99}

B = </span><span>{numbers between 50 and 150 that are evenly divisible by 5}
B = {50, 55, 60, 65, ..., 140, 145, 150}

The notation </span><span>A ∩ B means the set of items that are in set A and also in set B. In terms of venn diagrams, it's the overlapping region between circle A and circle B

In this case, the following values are found in both set A and set B
{55, 65, 75, 85, 95}

So that's why 
</span>A ∩ B = <span>{55, 65, 75, 85, 95}
which is the final answer

Besides the 90° angle measure, what are the other two angle measures of a right triangle with side lengths 5, 12, and 13? Round
TEA [102]
In the right triangle, the longest side is the hypotenuse.
Let α be the angle opposite to the side with a length of 12 units, <span>then according to the Law of sines:

</span>\frac{13}{sin90^o}= \frac{12}{sin \alpha }   \ \ \to \ \ sin \alpha = \frac{12 \cdot sin90^o}{13}=  \frac{12*1}{13}  \approx 0.923 \ \ \to \ m\angle  \alpha \approx 67^o

In a triangle, the three interior angles always add to 180° ⇒

third angle = 180 - 90 - 67 = 23°

Answer:
67° and 23°  (to the nearest degree).
