Stanley the skunk will save about 15.5 feet.
This problem can be solve with the Pythagorean Theorem. The possible paths that Stanley can take make a right triangle. The legs of the triangle are 25 and 28, and the hypotenuse would be 37.5.
If Stanley went the long way, he would travel 25 + 28 = 53 feet. Taking the short way (hypotenuse) is 53 - 37.5 = 15.5 feet shorter.
Was increased by 1 inch, the new measure of each side would be 4 inches.
Use Multiplication Distribute Property: (xy)^a = x^ay^a
6^2(x^-2)^2(0.5x)^4
Simplify 6^2 to 36
36(x^-2)^2(0.5x)^4
Use this rule: (x^a)^b = x^ab
36x^-4(0.5x)^4
Use the Negative Power Rule: x^-a = 1/x^a
36 × 1/x^4(0.5x)^4
Use the Multiplication Distributive Property: (xy)^a = x^ay^a
36 × 1/x^4 × 0.5^4x^4
Simplify 0.5^4 to 0.0625
36 × 1/x^4 × 0.0625x^4
Simplify

Answer:
Time taken n = 19 years (Approx)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Amount of car P = $27,500
Decrease rate r = 15% = 0.15
Final amount A = $1,254
Find:
Time taken n
Computation:
A = P[1-r]ⁿ
1,254 = 27,500[1-0.15]ⁿ
0.0456 = [0.85]ⁿ
Time taken n = 19 years (Approx)
