The dimensions of the original rectangle 
length - L
width - W
area = L*W = LW
after the modification, new dimensions are
length increased by 30 % 
Length = L * 1.3 = 1.3L
Width = W * 0.6 = 0.6W
new area = 1.3L * 0.6W
                = 0.78LW
the percent decrease in area 
decrease % = (difference in area)/original area * 100
                    = (LW - 0.78LW)/LW * 100
                    = 0.22LW/LW * 100
                    = 22%
percent decrease is 22%

<span>4.375×10 = 43.75
</span><span>1 7/8 = 15/8 = 1.875
</span>1.428×10 = 14.28

so order from <span>Least to greatest:

PLEASE HELP URGENT<br><br> Given \tan \theta =0.6, find the value of b.
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

b=8.5cm

Step-by-step explanation:

tanx (this represents tan theta, it's just easier to type) is equal to 0.6 and since the tanx ratio is opp/adj, we know that opp/adj = 0.6

To find what b is (adjacent as it is adjacent to the angle being used and it is not the hypotenuse), we just have to rearrange.

0.6=5.1/adj

to solve for adj, we can switch 0.6 and adj. (This works because to get adj by itself on one side you would multiply it to the other side and then divide 0.6 from both sides --> simple algebra)

so then you have

adj=5.1/0.6

adj=8.5cm

(if you want to check your solution you can use pythagoeran theorem, a^2+b^2=c^2) and sub everything in and make sure all the numbers equal the right thing!

The correct answer is that there is more variability in the heights of the volleyball team members.

The mean absolute deviation shows us how spread out the data is, so the larger the mean absolute deviation the higher the variability.

Both teams have players that are 76 inches tall, so the last two statements cannot be true.
