Caleb’s puppy weighs 2,250 grams. If the puppy weighed 600 grams at his last visit to the veterinarian’s office, what is the per

cent increase in the puppy’s weight rounded to the nearest whole number?

Answer:
The puppy's weight increased 275%

Explanation:
To get the percent of increase, we will apply the following equation:
% of increase = $\frac{increase}{original value} * 100$

In the given we have:
old weight = 600 grams
new weight = 2250 grams
This means that:
increase = 2250 - 600 = 1650 grams

We also have:
old value = 600 grams

Substitute in the above equation to get the % of increase as follows:
% of increase = $\frac{1650}{600} *100 = 275$ %

Hope this helps :)

In the figure, the ratio of the perimeter of rectangle ABDE to the perimeter of triangle BCD is . The area of polygon ABCDE is s

Gekata [30.6K]

Step 1

Find the perimeter of rectangle ABDE

we know that

the perimeter of rectangle is equal to

$P=2b+2h$

In this problem

$b=ED=2\ units$

$h=AE=6\ units$

substitute

$P=2*2+2*6=16\ units$

Step 2

Find the perimeter of triangle BCD

we know that

the perimeter of triangle is equal to

$P=BD+DC+BC$

In this problem we have

$BD=AE=6\ units$

$DC=BC$

Applying the Pythagoras theorem

$DC^{2}=4^{2}+3^{2}$

$DC^{2}=25$

$DC=5\ units$

substitute

$P=6+5+5=16\ units$

Find the ratio of the perimeter of rectangle ABDE to the perimeter of triangle BCD

we have

the perimeter of rectangle is equal to

$P=16\ units$

the perimeter of the triangle is

$P=16\ units$

so

the ratio is equal to

$\frac{16}{16} =1$

therefore

<u>the answer Part 1) is the option B</u>

$1$

Step 3

Find the area of polygon ABCDE

we know that

The area of polygon is equal to the sum of the area of rectangle plus the area of triangle

Area of rectangle is equal to

$A=AE*BD=6*2=12\ units^{2}$

Area of the triangle is equal to

$A=\frac{1}{2}AEh$

the height h of the triangle is equal to $4\ units$

substitute

$A=\frac{1}{2}(6)(4)=12\ units^{2}$

The area of polygon is

$12\ units^{2}+12\ units^{2}=24\ units^{2}$

therefore

<u>the answer part 2) is the option C</u>

$24\ units^{2}$

The general form of the equation of a circle is x2 + y2 + 42x + 38y − 47 = 0. The equation of this circle in standard form is .

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

(-21,-19)

$\sqrt{849}$

Standard form

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation of circle

$x^2+y^2+42x+38y-47=0$

General equation of circle:

$x^2+y^2+2gx+2fy+c=0$

Centre: (-g,-f)

Radius: $\sqrt{g^2+f^2-c}$

Compare the equation to find f, g and c from the equation

$g\rightarrow 21$

$f\rightarrow 19$

$c\rightarrow -47$

Centre: (-21,-19)

Radius (r) $=\sqrt{21^2+19^2+47}=\sqrt{849}$

Standard form of circle:

$(x+21)^2+(y+19)^2=849$

The centre of circle at the point (-21,-19) and its radius is $\sqrt{849}$ .

The general form of the equation of a circle that has the same radius as the above circle is standard form.

The figure below shows the graph of f ', the derivative of the function f, on the closed interval from x = -2 to x = 6. The grap

wolverine [178]

Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

From x = -2 to x = 5, f' is negative. That means f is decreasing.

From x = 5 to x = 6, f' is positive. That means f is increasing.

The negative area (between x = -2 and x = 5) is larger than the positive area area (between x = 5 and x = 6). That means f decreases more than it increases.

So f is an absolute maximum at x = -2.

The measure of central angle XYZ is StartFraction 3 pi Over 4 EndFraction radians. What is the area of the shaded sector? 32Pi u

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

<em>96π units²</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the diagram attached

Area of a sector is expressed as;

Area of a sector = θ/2π * πr²

Given

θ = 3π/4

r = 16

Substitute into the formula

area of the sector = (3π/4)/2π * π(16)²

area of the sector = 3π/8π * 256π

area of the sector = 3/8 * 256π

area of the sector = 3 * 32π

<em>area of the sector =96π units²</em>
