The weight of a boy was 15kg last year. If his weight increases by 3kg this year, find the percentage increase in his weight.

1 answer:

4 0

This year = 18kg
18 x .3= 5.4
The percentage change would be 5.4%. If it needs to be rounded by the nearest tenth, then it would be 5%.
I’m pretty confident this is the answer but I’m not 100% sure. I hope this helps!

When the sun has risen 32 degrees above the horizon, Sandy casts a shadow that is 9 feet 2 inches long. How tall is Sandy, to th

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

The height of Sandy is 68.74 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the sun has risen 32 degrees above the horizon. It means the angle of elevation is 32°.

Let the height of Sandy be x.

Sandy casts a shadow that is 9 feet 2 inches long.

We know that 1 feet = 12 inches

Using this conversion, we get

Shadow = 9 feet 2 inches = 9(12)+2 = 110 inches

In a right angled triangle,

$\tan\theta =\frac{perpendicular}{base}$

In triangle ABC,

$\tan(\angle C)=\frac{AB}{BC}$

$\tan(32^{\circ})=\frac{x}{110}$

Multiply both sides by 110.

$110\tan(32^{\circ})=x$

$68.73562871=x$

$x\approx 68.74$

Therefore the height of Sandy is 68.74 inches.

What is the solution to the inequality shown below?

lesantik [10]

To solve the inequality, you need to isolate/get the variable "p" by itself in the inequality:

5p + 26 < 72 Subtract 26 on both sides

5p + 26 - 26 < 72 - 26

5p < 46 Divide 5 on both sides to get "p" by itself

$\frac{5p}{5}$

$p$

p < 9.2 Your answer is A

7x + 2y = 4

Vinil7 [7]

$7x + 2(x + 1) = 4 \\ 7x + 2x + 2 = 4 \\ 9x + 2 = 4 \\ 9x = 2 \\ x = \frac{2}{9} \\ \\ y = \frac{2}{9} + 1 = \frac{11}{9} \\ ( \frac{2}{9} \: \frac{11}{9} )$
