What you do is 28,140 - 5% cause when you are doing a type of problem like this (trying to fins what was the last year) that means to subtract cause she now has 28,140 , and that was from a 5% raise but what she is trying to figure out is that how much did she have before the raise , so we are gong to grab the increased salary (28,140) with the raise percentage that made it increase (5%) , now you subtract , 28,140 - 5% = 26,733 .. I subtracted and found my answer :)

your answer is 26,733 hope this helps :)

OK so you multiply 28140 by 5% and get 1407, so now you know what 5% is. so all you have to do now is subtract 1407 from 28140 and you will get 26733

Triangle ABC is reflected across line L to create A' B' C'. What is the area of A' B' C'?

Answer: 6

Step-by-step explanation:

A'B' = AB, and B'C' = BC. So A = (1/2)(3)(4)=6.

In geometry, how do defined terms and undefined terms relate to each other?

mart [117]

In geometry, definitions are formed using known words or terms to describe a new word. There are three words in geometry that are not formally defined. These three undefined terms are point, line and plane.

POINT (an undefined term) 
In geometry, a point has no dimension (actual size). Even though we represent a point with a dot, the point has no length, width, or thickness. A point is usually named with a capital letter. In the coordinate plane, a point is named by an ordered pair, (x,y). 

LINE (an undefined term) 
In geometry, a line has no thickness but its length extends in one dimension and goes on forever in both directions. A line is depicted to be a straight line with two arrowheads indicating that the line extends without end in two directions. A line is named by a single lowercase written letter or by two points on the line with an arrow drawn above them. 

PLANE (an undefined term) 
In geometry, a plane has no thickness but extends indefinitely in all directions. Planes are usually represented by a shape that looks like a tabletop or wall. Even though the diagram of a plane has edges, you must remember that the plane has no boundaries. A plane is named by a single letter (plane m) or by three non-collinear points (plane ABC). 

Undefined terms can be combined to define other terms. Noncollinear points, for example, are points that do not lie on the same line. A line segment is the portion of a line that includes two particular points and all points that lie between them, while a ray is the portion of a line that includes a particular point, called the end point, and all points extending infinitely to one side of the end point. 

Defined terms can be combined with each other and with undefined terms to define still more terms. An angle, for example, is a combination of two different rays or line segments that share a single end point. Similarly, a triangle is composed of three noncollinear points and the line segments that lie between them. 

Everything else builds on these and adds more information to this base. Those added things include all the theorems and other "defined" terms like parallelogram or acute angle.
