Answer:
<em>Perimeter = 20.6cm to 1dp = 20.60cm to 2dp</em>
<em>Area = Base = 8.6/2 = 4.3 x 4.069 = 17.5cm^2</em>
<em>Height is found 4.07 cos( 54.47deg) 5/8.6 = 4.069cm</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Right angle side triangle, sides </em>
<em>= MN =8.6cm </em>
<em>= NP=5cm </em>
<em>= PM=7cm </em>
<em>= 25sq + 49sq = 74sq</em>
<em>MN^2 =√74 = 8.60232526704 = 8.6cm</em>
<em>P = 8.6 + 5 + 7 = 20.6cm </em>
I hope I am reading the problem right: The price of a mountain bike increased by 20% in the past year. The value is $150. What was the value of the mountain bike last year?
Let's simplify this. One year, there was this radical mountain bike that used to have an unsaid price, <em>x. </em>That year, that price of x increased by 20% more than it was before, or <em>120% times the original value</em>. Because of that, it's now $150.
We can equation this.
1.20x = 150
x = 150/1.2
x = 125
The bike, I believe, cost $125 last year. Hope this helps!
I hope you mean 1/5 when you say 1 5. If that's what you mean, then both, Joshua and Melanie, are correct because, both of their equations are the same.
Joshua's - <span>8 ÷ 1/5 = 40 (Since we can divide a number by fraction, we use this rule: keep, change flip. When we use that Joshua's equation turns into 8 * 5/1 = 8*5 = 40, same as Melanie's.)</span>
You can use this equation $598.30+X=$954.70
