Answer:

87.5 percent

Step-by-step explanation:

when you have to increase a number by 50 percent you are multiplying it by 1.5

later when you increase the number by 25 percent you multiply it by 1.25

you can multiply 1.5 by 1.25 to get your answer

1.5 * 1.25 is 1.875

so the percent increase is 87.5 percent

The angles of a triangle are 80º, 2x + 2º, and 5xº. What is the value of x?

Gekata [30.6K]

Since the sum of the angles of a triangle = 180°

Then 80º + (2x + 2)º + 5xº = 180°
82° + (7x)° = 180°
(7x)° = 180° - 82°
x = 98° ÷ 7
∴ x = 14

7x - x = (7-1)x = 6x

The given triangle is an equilateral triangle, because it's all angles measure 60° each

now,

Area of an equilateral triangle :

=》

$\dfrac{ \sqrt{3} }{4} {a}^{2}$

where,

a = 8 ( side measure )

=》

$\dfrac{ \sqrt{3} }{4} \times 8 \times 8$
