Use the distance formula to find the distance between two points.
Complementary angles add up to 90 degrees.
So to find A you would need to add A and B together and equal it to 90 (3x+25+5x-7=90)
Combine like terms together (8x+18=90)
Subtract 18 from night sides (8x=72)
Divide by 8 on both sides (x=9)
Then to find A substitute x into its equation (3(9)+25)=(27+25)=52
A=52 I think
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
b2 = 5
Discussion:
A = 1/2 h (b1 + b2)
.
Substituting A = 16, h = 4, and b1=3 in the above formula gives:
16 = (1/2) (4)( 3 + b2) => (as (1/2)4 = 2) )
16 = 2 ( 3 + b2) => (divide both sides by 2)
8 = (3 + b2) => (subtract 3 from both sides)
8-3 = b2 =>
5 = b2
Check Area formula:
Does A = 16 = (1/2)(4)(3+5) ?
Does 16 = (1/2) (4)(8) ?
Does 16 = (1/2)(32) ? Yes it does so our calculation for b2 is correct
Thank you,
MrB
well, we know that 213.90 includes the 15% gratuity, so if the meal price was say "x", namely that is the 100%, and we add 15% to that, then 100% + 15% = 115%, so 213.90 is really the 115%.
now, if 213.90 is the 115.%, what is "x"? the 100%.
so since we know the meal without the tip is 186 bucks, the tip was then 213.90 - 186 = 27.90.
but they got extra potato wedges with butter and the waitress was wearing her best hat, they added $20 more, so the tip ended up as 27.90 + 20 = 47.90.
now, if the cost of the meal was $186 and that is the 100%, what is 47.90 off of it in percentage?
