<span>Answer:
The multiplication factor of increase should be inverse of the multiplication factor of decrease.
e.g. Say you have a number 100.
You increase it by 25%. The multiplication factor is 5/4 i.e. when you multiply 100 by 5/4, you get 100*5/4 = 125. This is 25% more than 100.
Now you want to decrease it by a certain % such that you get 100 back.
Basically, 100*5/4 * x = 100
So x = 4/5 (inverse of 5/4)
Hence, you decrease by 20% (the multiplication factor of 20% is 4/5)
or
Use this formula: cumulative % change = a + b + ab/100
You want the cumulative change to be 0.
a + b + ab/100 = 0
If you know that you are increasing by 25% and want to find the % by which you should decrease to get the same number,
25 + b + 25b/100 = 0
5b/4 = -25
b = -20
So you need to decrease (hence you get the -ve sign) by 20%.</span>
The exercise is basiacally asking for the perimeter of the garden. The perimeter of a rectangle is twice the sum of its dimensions, so we have
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Use the midpoint formula to find the midpoint of the line segment.
Hi there!
v = ±
- - - - - - - - -
K = 1/2mv²
Isolate for the variable "v". We can begin by dividing both sides by 1/2. (Multiply by the reciprocal, or 2):
2 · K = 2 · (1/2mv²)
2K = mv²
Continue isolating by dividing both sides by "m":
2K / m = v²
Take the square root of both sides. Remember that the solution can either be positive or negative since there are positive and negative roots.
v = ±
0.0125 is your answer.
Hope this helps~!
