Based on the calculations, the depth of tent is equal to 12 feet.
<h3>How to calculate the depth of the tent?</h3>
Based on the diagram (see attachment) and information provided, we can logically deduce the following parameters (points):
- Triangle ABC is an isosceles triangle (AB = AC).
- The front and back of the triangle are identical triangles.
- Side AD is perpendicular side BC.
- CD is the midpoint of BC i.e CD = BC/2 = 6/2 = 3 feet.
Next, we would determine the height of the right-angled triangle (ADC) by applying Pythagorean theorem:
AC² = AD² + DC²
AD² = AC² - DC²
AD² = 5² - 3²
AD² = 25 - 9
AD² = 16
AD = √16
AD = 4 feet.
Also, we would determine the area of the triangle (ABC):
Area = 1/2 × b × h
<u>Where:</u>
Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;
Area = 1/2 × 6 × 4
Area = 12 feet².
Depth of tent = 3 × height of ADC
Depth of tent = 3 × 4
Depth of tent = 12 feet.

DB is a median (given). It goes from vertex point D to midpoint B.
The point B is the midpoint of segment AC. So B cuts AC into two equal halves: AB and AC
Meaning AB = AC
AC = AB+BC ... segment addition postulate
AC = AB+AB ... substitution; replace BC with AB (valid because AB = AC)
AC = 2*AB
2*AB = AC
2*AB = 50 ... substitution; replace AC with 50
2*AB/2 = 50/2 ... divide both sides by 2
AB = 25 which is the answer
Answer:
Using the percentage difference formula you can find the percentage decrease.
SO its
100(new-old/new)
So we solve
10-6=4
4/10= 2/5
2/5*100=200/5
40
40 percent decrease
Call the number : x
(1/3)x + 5 = x-6
=> (1/3)x + 5 - (x-6) = 0
=> (1/3)x + 5 - x + 6 = 0
Group (1/3)x with -x, 5 with 6
=> [(1/3)x - x] + (5+6) = 0
=> (-2/3)x + 11 = 0
=> (-2/3)x = -11
=> x = -11 : (-2/3) = 33/2.
Recheck : 1/3 x 33/2 + 5 = 33/6 + 5 = 63/6 = 21/2
33/2 - 21/2 = 12/2 = 6 (21/2 is 6 less than 33/2, satisfied.)
