How the sales tax de-calculator works

Step 1: take the total price and divide it by one plus the tax rate.

Step 2: multiply the result from step one by the tax rate to get the dollars of tax.

Step 3: subtract the dollars of tax from step 2 from the total price.

Pre-Tax Price = TP – [(TP / (1 + r) x r]

TP = Total Price.

Looking for right triangle side a is 1 inch long,and side b is 2 inches long. What is the length of side c?

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

$\sqrt{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}$

In this situation a = 1, b = 2

$1^{2} + 2^{2} = c^{2}$

1 + 4 = $c^{2}$

5 = $c^{2}$

c = $\sqrt{5}$

This is an important mathematical theorem to know. It's called the Pythagorean Theorem.

John wants to measure the width of a stream using the methods he has learned in geometry. He puts a stake in the ground opposite

otez555 [7]

John's method to determine the width of the stream uses the knowledge

that the tangent of 60° is approximately 1.7.

The proper sequence John would use to find the width of the stream are;

Step 1; John drives a stake opposite the tree to establish a line between two points

Step 2; John uses a compass to walk away from the stakes at a right angle

Step 3; On the path John walks until he finds a line of sight to the tree that equals 60 degrees

Step 4; John drives a second stake in the ground

Step 5; John measures the the distance between the two stakes

Step 6; John multiplies the distance between the two stakes by 1.7 to find the distance.

Reasons:

The steps that can be used to measure the width of the stream are;

Step 1: Drive a stake opposite the tree on the other side of the stream.

Step 2: With the aid of a compass, walk at right angles to the line formed by the stake and the tree.

Step 3; Keep walking along the previous path till a point is reached where the angle formed between the line of site to the tree and the walk path is 60°.

Step 4; At the point where the line of sight to the tree is 60°, a second stake is driven in the ground.

Step 5; Measure the distance between the stakes that are placed in the ground.

Step 6; Given that by trigonometry, the ratio of the width of the stream to the distance between the two stakes is tan(60°) ≈ 1.7, multiply the distance between the two stakes by 1.7 to find the width of the stream.

$\displaystyle tan(60^{\circ}) = \mathbf{\frac{Width \ of \ stream}{Distance \ between \ stakes}}$
