Answer:

9%

Step-by-step explanation:

Final Value-Starting value / Starting Value

100,280 - 92000 = 8280

8280/92000 = 0.09

0.09 -> % = 9% increase

Lisa says that 43 is an odd number that is composite . Is she correct? Explain.
Assoli18 [71]

Lisa is incorrect although it is an odd number it is not composite. It only has itself and 1. Therefore its a prime number.

This is the definition for prime if you still dont understand.

A prime number is a whole number greater than 1 whose only factors are 1 and itself.

A wall of a building is 34 inches wide 16 inches is concrete and 4 inches is limestone what fraction of the wall is brick
Molodets [167]

Answer:

7/17

Step-by-step explanation:

16 inches of concrete plus 4 inches of limestone come to 20 inches of concrete and limestone combined.  Subtracting 20 inches from 34 inches yields 14 inches.  14 inches of the total wall thickness (34 inches) is brick.  This fraction is 14/34, or 7/17.

Suppose your average, after taking 4 quizzes, is 73(out of 100). What must your average be on the next 5 quizzes to increase you
pychu [463]

x = average of next 5 quizzes

4 * 73 = first 4 quizzes

There will be a total of 4 +5 = 9 quizzes

Average of all quizzes = 88 = (4*73+5x)/9

 

9*88 = 9*(292 +5x)/9

792 = 292 + 5x

500 = 5x

X = 500/5 = 100

<span> Next 5 quizzes need to average 100</span>

At a certain time of the day, a tree that is x meters tall casts a shadow that is x-49 meters long. If the distance from the top
nikklg [1K]

The height of the tree is 60 meters.

Explanation:

Let the height of the tree be x. The tree casts a shadow of x-49 meters and the distance from the top of the tree to the end of the shadow is x+1 meters.

The sides of the triangle are attached in the image below:

Using pythagoras theorem,

x^{2}+(x-49)^{2}=(x+1)^{2}

Expanding, we get,

2 x^{2}-98 x+2401=x^{2}+2 x+1

2 x^{2}-98 x+2400=x^{2}+2 x

2 x^{2}-100 x+2400=x^{2}

x^{2}-100 x+2400=0

Solving the equation using the quadratic formula x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}, we get,

x=\frac{-(-100)\pm\sqrt{(-100)^{2}-4 \cdot 1 \cdot 2400}}{2 \cdot 1}

Simplifying, we have,

x=\frac{100\pm\sqrt{10000-9600}}{2}

x=\frac{100\pm\sqrt{400}}{2}

x=\frac{100\pm{20}}{2}

Thus,

x=\frac{100+20}{2} \\x=\frac{120}{2} \\x=60  and  x=\frac{100-20}{2} \\x=\frac{80}{2} \\x=40

where the value x=40 is not possible because substituting the value x=40 in x-49 results in negative solution. Which is not possible.

Hence, the value of x is 60.

Thus, The height of the tree is 60 meters.
