Answer:

  A.  40.7%

Step-by-step explanation:

The selling price for a $5 profit will be ...

  $12.75 +5.00 = $17.75

From $29.95, this represents a change of ...

  (17.75 -29.95)/29.95 × 100%

  = -12.20/29.95 × 100% ≈ -40.7346%

The bookstore can offer a maximum discount of about 40.7%.

Given the measures a = 10, b = 40, and A = 30°, how many triangles can possibly be formed?
arlik [135]

Answer:

no triangle can be formed with the given values (i.e 0 triangle).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

length of side a, = 10

length of side b, = 40

angle A, = 30°

Apply sine rule to determine the angle of the second side (B);

\frac{sin \ A}{a} = \frac{sin \ B}{b} \\\\\frac{sin \ 30^0}{10} = \frac{sin \ B}{40}\\\\sin \ B = 40(\frac{0.5}{10} )\\\\sin \ B = 2

The maximum sine function is 1, there is no sine function that will be equal to 2, so there is no triangle that can be formed with the given values.
