Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

George has a wealth that is 33\frac{1}{3}% (\frac{100}{3}%) greater than Pete's. Let’s assume Pete's wealth percentage is 100%.

Thus, George's wealth percentage = 100% + \frac{100}{3}%

                                                           = \frac{400}{3}%

                                                           = 133\frac{1}{3}%

To find out how much poorer Pete is compared to George, we can calculate;

                                                           = (\frac{100}{3}) ÷ (\frac{400}{3} ) × 100

                                                           = (\frac{100}{3}) × \frac{3}{400} × 100

                                                           = 0.25 × 100

                                                           = 25%

Pete is 25% less wealthy than George.

In ΔHIJ, the measure of ∠J=90°, JI = 4, HJ = 3, and IH = 5. What ratio represents the tangent of ∠I?
Inessa [12570]

Answer:

The ratio  \frac{3}{4} corresponds to the tangent of ∠I.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s revisit the trigonometric ratios:

  • sin Ф =  \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}
  • cos Ф =  \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}
  • tan Ф =  \frac{opposite}{adjacent}

For triangle HIJ

∵ m∠J = 90°

- The hypotenuse is the side opposite the right angle.

So, HI is the hypotenuse.

∵ HJ = 3 units

∵ IH = 5 units

- We’ll apply the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for HJ.

∵ (HJ)² + (IJ)² = (IH)²

∴ 3² + (IJ)² = 5²

∴ 9 + (IJ)² = 25

- Subtract 9 from both sides.

∴ (IJ)² = 16

- Taking the square root on both sides gives:

∴ IJ = 4 units

To determine the tangent of ∠I, identify the sides that are opposite and adjacent to it.

∵ HJ is opposite to ∠I

∵ IJ is adjacent to ∠I

- Utilizing the rule of tan above:

∴ tan(∠I) = \frac{HJ}{IJ}

∴ tan(∠I) = \frac{3}{4}

The ratio \frac{3}{4} indicates the tangent of ∠I.
