Answer: 2.6 (rounded answer)

Step-by-step explanation: To solve for the side BC we can find the tangent (TAN) of 41 degrees. Since the tangent of an angle is equal to the opposite side over adjacent, we can set up an equation that looks like this, assigning side BC to be x:

tan(41)= x/16

0.1606567=x/16 <---- Use calculator to find tan(41)

0.1606567(16)=x/16(16) <---- Multiply each side by 16

2.5705071789=x

At a sale this week, a desk is being sold for $336. This is a 36% discount from the original price.

8090 [49]

Answer:

$525

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the original price by using the formula x - 0.36x = 336, where x is the original price, 0.36 is the discount percentage (converted to decimal form), and 336 is the total amount paid after the discount is applied:

$x-0.36x=336\\0.64x=336\\x=525$

To check and further understand why the formula works, we can simply apply the discount to the original price and subtract the number from the original price:

525 * 0.36 = 189

525 - 189 = 336

Modeling the first formula gives us:

525 - (0.36 * 525) = 336

525 - 189 = 336

Answer:

8π in

64π mm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference of a circle is equal to 2πr, where r is the radius.

2π(4) = 8π ≈ 25.132

The area of a circle is equal to πr²

π(8)² = 64π ≈ 201.062

Sammy bought 15.3 Liters of milk. She poured the milk equally into 5 bottles. There was 0.35 liters of milk left over. Calculate

Zanzabum

Answer:

The capacity of milk in 1 bottle is 2.99 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us solve the question

∵ Sammy bought 15.3 liters of milk

∵ She poured the milk equally into 5 bottles

∵ There were 0.35 liters of milk leftover

→ At first, subtract the leftover from the quantity she bought to

find the capacity of the five bottles

∴ The capacity of the 5 bottles = 15.3 - 0.35

∴ The capacity of the 5 bottles = 14.95 liters

→ To find the capacity of each bottle divide the total capacity by 5

∴ The capacity in one bottle = 14.95 ÷ 5

∴ The capacity in one bottle = 2.99 liters

∴ The capacity of milk in 1 bottle is 2.99 liters
