Hey there,

Your correct answer will be A.)0.65 because when you do 7.2 divided by 12 because of the year, and it will get you 0.65

Answer:

0.63%

Step-by-step explanation:

If 7.5% decrease in 1 year (12 months), then the percentage decrease per month will be 7.5% divided by 12.

$\frac{7.5}{12}=0.625$ percent per month

Rounded to the nearest hundredth, 0.625% is equal to 0.63%

Eli needs pieces of ribbon cut into strips that are 2 1\2 feet long. The roll of ribbon is 7 1\2 feet long. Which expression cou

julsineya [31]

Answer: There are 3 strips that can be cut from the roll of ribbon.

Step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

Length of a ribbon is given by

$7\frac{1}{2}\ ft\\\\=\frac{15}{2}\ ft$

Length of pieces of ribbon cut into strips is given by

$2\frac{1}{2}\ ft\\\\=\frac{5}{2}\ ft$

So, we need to find the number of strips that can be cut is given by

$\text{ Number of strips }=\frac{\text{Length of roll}}{\text{ Length of strip}}\\\\=\frac{\frac{15}{2}}{\frac{5}{2}}\\\\=\frac{15\times 2}{2\times 5}\\\\=\frac{15}{5}\\\\=3$

Hence, there are 3 strips that can be cut from the roll of ribbon.

Which statements are true regarding triangle LMN? Check all that apply.

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

$NM = x$

$LM = x\sqrt{2}$

$tan (45) = 1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Pythagoras Theorem

Pythagoras theorem relates the three sides of the triangle in such a way that the sum of the square of base and perpendicular is equal to hypotenuse, such as:

$LM^{2} =LN^{2} +NM^{2}$

Step 2: Trigonometric Functions

Only for a right angle triangle following three trigonometric relations are valid

$sin (\theta) = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$

$cos (\theta) = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}$

$tan (\theta)=\frac{sin (\theta)}{cos (\theta)} = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}$

Step 3: Verifying all the possible answers

A: Since, LN = x and using $tan (45) =1$

we can calculate

$tan (\theta)= \frac{opposite}{adjacent}$

$tan (45)= \frac{NM}{x} =1$

therefore, NM = x (true)

B: As NM = x therefore it can not be equal to $x\sqrt{2\\}$ .

C: Using Pythagoras Theorem

$LM^{2} =LN^{2} +NM^{2}$

$LM^{2} =x^{2} +x^{2}$

$LM^{2} =2x^{2}$

$LM = \sqrt{2x^{2}} = x\sqrt{2}$

It can also be proved using trigonometric relation

$cos (45) = \frac{x}{LM}$

$LM = \frac{x}{cos (45)}$

As, $\frac{1}{cos (45)}= \sqrt{2}$

Therefore

$LM = x\sqrt{2}$

D and E:

Using same approach similar to part A

Since, LN = x and NM = x

we can calculate

$tan (\theta)= \frac{opposite}{adjacent}$

$tan (45)= \frac{x}{x} =1$

Therefore, $tan (45) = 1$ and not equal to $\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}$

Polygon YYY has an area of 111111 square units. Celia drew a scaled version of Polygon YYY using a scale factor of 333 and label

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

The ratio of the areas = the ratio of the squares of the scale factor.

So the area of Z is 3^2 * 11 = 99 sq units.
