Answer:

b = square root of 125

Put into calculator and put to 1dp

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean theorem is

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

The a and b are the two short sides and c is always the hypotenuse

We just put the numbers in

10^2 + b^2 = 15^2

Now we can rearrange so that b^2 is by its self on the left side

b^2 = 15^2 - 10^2

Now just solve by putting into calculator

b^2 = 125

And finally square root to get b^2 down to b

b = square root of 125

Put into calculator and put to 1dp

Answer: b= 11.2

10^2 + b^2 = 15^2

100 + b^2 =  225

b^2 = 125

b= \sqrt{125}

b= 11.2

Select each equation which is equivalent to 60% of 25.
krek1111 [17]

The equation which is equivalent to 60% of 25 are x • 1.6 = 25, 0.6 • 25 = x and x/25=60//100

Percentages can be expressed as decimals or fractions.

Given the expression 60% of 25, this can b expressed as:

  • 60% of 25 = x

where x is the result of the expression.

  • 60/100 * 25 = x

Expressing 60% as a decimal will give;

0.6 of 25  = x

0.6 * 25 = x

From the expression 60/100 * 25 = x, this can also be written as:

25 = 100/60 x

25 = 10/6 x

25 = 1.6x

Hence the equation which is equivalent to 60% of 25 are x • 1.6 = 25, 0.6 • 25 = x and x/25=60//100

ratelena [41]
With the equation:
0.15 x = 30
x = 30 : 0.15 = $200
A regular price of TV is $200.
Which could not be used to determine x ( we shall plug in the value 200 ):
A ) 0.15 * 200 = 200 - 30
30 ≠ 170
B ) 0.85 * 200 = 200 - 30
170 = 170 ( correct )
C ) 200 - 0.15 * 200 = 200 - 30
200 - 30 = 200 - 30
170 = 170   ( correct )
D ) 0.15 * 200 = 30
30 = 30  ( correct )
Answer:
A ) 0.15 x = x - 30

Answer:

30

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles on a straight line are equal to 180°

180°-120°= 60°

Sum of Co interior angles are equal to 180°

180°-60° =120°

90°+60°+ x = 180°

((180° - 90° - 60°= 30°))
