Answer:

a = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle.

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is

a² + 3² = 5²

a² + 9 = 25 ( subtract 9 from both sides )

a² = 16 ( take the square root of both sides )

a = \sqrt{16} = 4

seraphim [82]

Answer:the percentage decrease is 36.67%

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial amount of sugar in his diet is 15 spoons in a day. Currently, the amount of sugar in his diet is 9 1/2 spoons in a day. Converting to decimal, it becomes 9.5 spoon in a day. The amount by which he reduced his sugar intake is 15 - 9.5 = 5.5 spoons.

Percentage decrease would be expressed as

Amount by which the intake decreased/ initial intake × 100

It becomes

5.5/15 × 100 = 36.67%

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:256 cows

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total cow be a

3/4 of a

3/4 x a=3a/4

Remainder= a-3a/4=a/4

Remainder=a/4

3/4 Of The remainder

3/4 of a/4

3/4 x a/4=3a/16

New remainder will be

a/4-3a/16=a/16

New remainder is a/16

Therefore: a/16=16

Cross multiplying we get

a=16x16

a=256
