Let's assume the number as x .

15% of x = $\dfrac{x \times 15}{100}$

→ $\dfrac{3x}{20}$

So after reducing 15% the number will be 6154 .

→ x - 3x/20 = 6154

→ 17x/20 = 6154

→ 17x = 6154 × 20

→ 17x = 123080

→ x = 123080/17

→ x = 7240

So the number is 7240

All angles in the diagram are measured to the nearest degree.

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

lower bound is 110.503 and upper bound is 112.500

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 3 angles around a point we are to find the fourth angle.

The three angles are 59. 108 and 81.

They are rounded off to the nearest degrees.

As per this given, fourth angle = 360-(59+108+81) = 112 degrees

Since angles were rounded off, the extreme chances are

58.5, 107.5, and 80.5 rounded off to 59, 108, and 81 from left side.

Right side maximum is 59.499, 108.499, 81.499 (taken upto 3 decimals) rounded to 59, 108, 81

In the first case, fourth angle would be 112.50 and in the second case, the fourth angle would be 110.503 degrees

Thus lower bound is 110.503 and upper bound is 112.500

We are given that lines a and c intersect at point S. Translate line a down line c until point S reaches point Q. Call the new l

Pavel [41]

Answer:

The lines a and b are parallel

Step-by-step explanation:

When we will translate line a, then the new line b will be formed.

Now, as translation preserves orientation each point on line a will be equidistant from line b , thus holding the condition and satisfying the property of two parallel lines.

Hence, line a and line b are parallel to each other.
