No, because let’s say for example that something cost $100.00 so you take 20% (or $20) off of the 100 and you’re left with $80.00. Well then you have your 10% off coupon so you take 10% off of 80, which is 8 dollars. So now you’re at $72.00.

But if we just took off 30% from 100 originally, you would be at $70.00

So no it wouldn’t be the same. If you wanted to check the idea yourself just use different numbers and see if they match at the end.

Doctors can approximate the Body Surface Area (BSA) of an adult (in square meters) using the BSA index: B⁢S⁢A=H⋅W3600 , where H
Anettt [7]
<span>75 kilograms The equation given for BSA doesn't look correct, perhaps due to formatting issues involving a simple copy and paste without any proofreading afterwards. Doing a quick google search gives the Mosteller formula for BSA which is: BSA = sqrt(W*H/3600) This formula is quite likely the original target of the copy and paste since it has all of the correct values and it's likely that the square root symbol wasn't properly pasted, nor the horizontal bar indicating division. So I'll use the Mosteller formula in solving this problem: First, solve for W, then substitute the known values and calculate: BSA = sqrt(W*H/3600) BSA^2 = W*H/3600 3600*BSA^2 = W*H 3600*BSA^2/H = W 3600*1.96^2/185 = W 3600*3.8416/185 = W 74.755 = W So the weight of the adult is 75 kilograms. If the incorrectly copied equation of Bâ˘Sâ˘A=Hâ‹…W3600 were to be used and if the missing operator between the W and the 3600 were a divide symbol, the calculated value would be 38 kg, which is rather light for someone 185 cm tall since the low end of healthy is 65 kg. And if the missing operator between the W and 3600 was a multiply, then the calculated weight would be 3 micrograms which is way too small for a human being, no matter how starved. However, the value calculated using the Mosteller formula would represent a BMI of 22 which is about average for a normal healthy adult.</span>

How long will it take to drive 30 miles going 15 mph?
mrs_skeptik [129]
Distance=speed times time

distance=30mi
speed=15mph
t=t


so
30=15 times t
divide both sides by 15
2=t

Find the with of a triangle as a 15 cm high in a hypogynous of a 19 cm​
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

This other side of the triangle is equal to about 11.7 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find out the third side of the triangle we will just use the Pythagoras Theorem.

c^{2} =a^{2} + b^{2}

Since we know the hypotenuse and we know one of the legs, in order to find the second leg we just substitute the values and solve the equation and so we get...

c^{2} =a^{2} + b^{2}\\19^{2} = 15^{2} + b^{2}\\361 = 225 + b^{2} \\

b^{2} = 361 - 225\\b^{2} = 136\\b = \sqrt{136} \\

And so b ≈ 11.66190
