The answer is:  "10 cm" .
____________________________________
Method 1)
____________________________________________
2L + 2w = 40 ;  Since the formula for perimeter of a rectangle (Note: a square is a rectangle) is:

                         P = 2L + 2w ;  Note:  L = length; w = width; P = perimeter;
______________________________________________________
 Factor out a "2":
_________________
" 2L + 2w = 40" ;

2 (L+ w) = 40;

Divide each side of the question by "2" ;
____________________________________
         [2 (L + w)] / 2  = 40 / 2 ;
____________________________________
 to get:  (L + w) = 20 ;

Note:  this "rectangle is a square" ; so L= w".
__________________
20 /2 = 10 ;

L + w = 10 + 10 = 20.

This is a square, so each side of the square is the same length.

Each side is:  10 cm .
______________________________________________
Method 2)
______________________________________________

We are given: The perimeter (sum of the lengths of all sides) of a square is "40 cm."  Since a square has 4 sides of equal length:
     Each side is:  40 cm / 4 = 10 cm.
______________________________________________

A car with an initial cost of $26,500 depreciates at a rate of 7.5% per year. Write the function that models this situation. The
solniwko [45]

Answer:

f(x) = 26500 * (0.925)^x

It will take 7 years

Step-by-step explanation:

A car with an initial cost of $26,500 depreciates at a rate of 7.5% per year. Write the function that models this situation. Then use your formula to determine when the value of the car will be $15,000 to the nearest year.

To find the formula we will use this formula: f(x) = a * b^x. A is our initial value which in this case is $26500. B is how much the value is increasing or decreasing. In this case it is decreasing by 7.5% per year. Since the car value is decreasing we will subtract 0.075 from 1. This will result in the formula being f(x) = 26500 * (0.925)^x. Now to find the value of the car to the nearest year of when the car will be 15000 we plug 15000 into f(x). 15000 = 26500 * (0.925)^x. First we divide both side by 26500 which will make the equation: 0.56603773584=(0.925)^x. Then we will root 0.56603773584 by 0.925. This will result in x being 7.29968 which is approximately 7 years.
