Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

first create a proportion.

40/100 = 18/x

you're trying to find x, the original price, so to find x you'll need to cross multiply. 18 times 100 divided by 40, which is 45.

The original price was $45

Answer:

about 9.80 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of half the segment (h) can be found from the Pythagorean theorem:

h² +5² = 7²

h² = 7² -5² = 49 -25 = 24

h = √24 = 2√6

This is half the segment length, so the whole segment length is ...

L = 2h = 2(2√6)

L = 4√6 ≈ 9.7980

The length of the segment is 4√6 ≈ 9.80 cm.

What is the measure of angle A?

I am Lyosha [343]

First you have to find the angle B (check attachment)

$B = 180^{\circ} - 137^{\circ} = 43^{\circ}\\$

Then you can find the last angle inside the triangle, which I'll call C

$C = 180^{\circ} - 102^{\circ} - 43^{\circ} = 35^{\circ}$

Now you can find angle A

$A = 180^{\circ} - C = 180^{\circ} - 35^{\circ} = 145^{\circ}$
