Percent change = (new number - old number)/(old number) * 100
A positive percent change is a percent increase.
A negative percent change is a percent decrease.
In this problem, we have:
The new number is 15 laps.
The old number is 12 laps.
percent change = (15 - 12)/(12) * 100
percent change = 3/12 * 100
percent change = 25
Since the percent change is positive, +25, it is a percent increase.
Answer: The percent increase is 25%
Answer:
Boat traveled 553.24 feet towards the lighthouse.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the figure attached AB is the light house of height 200 feet.
Angle of depression of the boat from the top of a lighthouse = angle of elevation of the lighthouse from the boat = 14°52'
so 1' =
degree
so angle of elevation at point C = 14 + 
So angle of elevation from C = (14 + 0.87) = 14.87°
Similarly, when boat arrives at point D angle of elevation = 45°10' = 45 +
= 45.17°
Now we have to calculate the distance CD, traveled by the boat.
In ΔABC
tan14.87 = 
0.2655 = 
BC = 
BC = 753.239 feet
Similarly in ΔABD
tan45.17 = 
1 = 
BD = 200 feet
So distance CD = BC - BD
CD = 753.239 - 200
= 553.24 feet
Therefore, Boat traveled 553.24 feet towards the lighthouse.
Answer:
250 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
circumference of circle 'C' is defined as
C = 2πr
250π = 2πr
r = 250π/2π
r= 125
d = 2r = 2×125 = 250
.
diameter of the given circle is 250 ft
