Answer:

7.69% increase

Step-by-step explanation:

Let our initial number be 100

11% decrease will be;

100- 0.11(100) = 100-11 = 89

A 21% increase will be;

89 + 21% of 89

89 + 0.21(89)

= 107.69

difference from the starting is 107.69 - 100 = 7.69

The percentage is 7.69% increase

Find the circumference of a circle that has an area of 452.16 square meters. (Use 3.1416 as the value of π.)

laila [671]

$\bf \textit{area of a circle}\\\\
A=\pi r^2\quad 
\begin{cases}
r=radius\\
-----\\
A=452.16
\end{cases}\implies 452.16=\pi r^2\implies \cfrac{452.16}{\pi }=r^2
\\\\\\
\boxed{\sqrt{\cfrac{452.16}{\pi }}=r}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\textit{circumference of a circle}\\\\
C=2\pi r\qquad \qquad \implies C=2\pi \left( \boxed{\sqrt{\cfrac{452.16}{\pi }}} \right)$

so, is just that product, recall to use "<span>3.1416 as the value of π".</span>

Sue's teacher asked her to find 42.6 divided by ten to the power of two. How many places and in which direction should Sue move

algol [13]

Hey You!

Ten to the power of two = 100

So, when 42.6 is divided by 100, Sue should move the decimal 2 places to the left (before the 4).

42.6 ÷ 100 = 0.426

Find the difference between the points (6, -3) And (-5,-3)

Varvara68 [4.7K]

We can use the distance formula to find the distance between these points.

Distance formula: $\sqrt{(x.2 - x.1)^{2} + (y.2 - y.1)^{2}}$

√(-5 - 6)² + (-3 - (-3))²

√121 = 11

The difference between the points is 11.
