Answer:

The hiking club's member count increased by 48%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given two data values: 25 members and 37 members. We need to determine how many members the club gained first. We can set up an equation where we solve for an unknown, or x, in this case.

$25 + x = 37\\\\x = 12$

The club increased by 12 members, so now we can divide this value by the initial amount of members and multiply the decimal we receive by 100 to express it in percentage form.

$\frac{12}{25} =0.48\\\\0.48 \times 100 = 48\%$

Therefore, the club's member count increased by 48%.

Write 8 is the whole number 11 is the numerator and 20 is the denominator

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

Fraction: 8 $\frac{11}{20}$

Decimal: 8.55

Step-by-step explanation:

8 11/20 is the answer because:

1) Since 8 is the whole number, 8 wouldn't be part of the fraction

2) The numerator is the top number in the fraction, so 11 is at the top since 11 is the numerator

3) The denominator is the bottom number in the fraction, so 20 is at the top since 20 is the denominator

8.55 is the answer because:

1) Since 8 is the whole number, 8 would be in front of the decimal point

2) When you multiply the fractions, you have to multiply until you get a hundred. Therefore, 20*5 = 100 and 11*5 = 55

Hope this helps!

One of the acute angles in a right triangle has a measure of 36.6°. What is the measure of the other acute angle?

Solnce55 [7]

Triangles equal 180 degrees total
It’s a right triangle so one of the angles is 90 degrees and we know another angle is 36.6
So 90+36.6= 126.6
180-126.6= 53.4
So I’m assuming the correct answer is C since that’s the closet number to 53.4

Use the Counting Principle to find the probability. Choosing the 7 winning lottery numbers when the numbers are chosen at random

frozen [14]

Answer: 120

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the order of the numbers doesn't matter we can use the formula:

$\dfrac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}\quad \text{where n is the quantity of items and r is the quantity chosen}\\\\\text{In this problem, there are 10 numbers (n = 10) and 7 to be chosen (r = 7)}\\\\_{10}C_{7}=\dfrac{10!}{7!(10-7)!}\\\\.\qquad=\dfrac{10!}{7!3!}\\\\.\qquad=\dfrac{10\times 9\times 8\times 7!}{7!\times 3\times 2\times 1}\\\\.\qquad=10\times 3\times 4\\\\.\qquad=120$

Find the orthocenter of the triangle with the given vertices: L(2, 2), M(-4, 2), N(-2, 6) a (-2, 4) b (3, -5) c (2, -4) d (-3, 5

Norma-Jean [14]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

(a) (-2, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The orthocenter is the point of concurrence of the altitudes of the triangle.

A plot of the triangle vertices shows the triangle to be acute. That means the orthocenter is inside. This eliminates choices B, C, D, which are all points outside the triangle.

Conveniently, side LM is horizontal. This means the orthocenter will have the x-coordinate of the vertical line through N, which is -2. Only one answer choice has an x-coordinate of -2:

a (-2, 4)
