7 0

It has already been given in the question that the cost of tv has dropped fro $265 in 2012 to $199 in 2014. To find the average rate of decrease in the cost of tv in 2 years we have to subtract the difference in price and then divide it by 2 to get to the actual result that is needed.
Difference in price of tv = (265 - 199) dollars
= 66 dollars
so the difference in price of tv in 2 years is $66
Then
The average rate of decrease in cost of tv = 66/2
= 33
So $33 is the average rate of decrease in the price of tv between the years 2012 and 2014.

In the figure, Δ ABC Δ XYZ. What is the perimeter of ΔABC? Show your work.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

∆ABC~ ∆XYZ

AB= 11 that is half of XY = 22

therefore XZ/2 = AC (base) = 32/2 = 16

and YZ /2 = BC(hypotenuse) = 44/2 = 22

(a= 11, b= 16, c= 22)

perimeter of a triangle

P = a+b+c

P= 11+16+22= 49
