The formula for depreciation is:
Value = Starting value x (1 - rate)^time
Using the given values:
Value = 25,000 x (1-0.12)^5
Value = 25,000 x 0.88^5
Value = $13,193.30 (Round the answer as needed)

Answer: Then you picked (6,3) and there is nothing you can do about it
Work backwards with pythagoras' theorem:
c^2=a^2+b^2
Here, a and b both equal to x. Therefore, you can write this as 8^2=2x^2. So 64=2x^2. Sqrt on both sides to give you 8=2x, hence x=4. However I must warn you that this working out may have a flaw, as I found that x actually equals to 5.66
