A car trip from New York to Cincinnati took 12.5 hours. The return trip by the same route took 1 hour longer.

Let x be the speed of the car

Car trip from New York to Cincinnati

We know Distance D = speed * time

time = 12.5 hours and speed =x

D = 12.5x

Return trip

The return trip by the same route took 1 hour longer. So 12.5+1 = 13.5 hours

he average rate of speed was 4 mph less. So speed is x-4

Distance D = speed * time

time = 13.5 hours and speed =x-4

D = (x-4)*13.5

D= 13.5x-54

The distance of ongoing trip and return trip are same

So we equate both the distance equations D= 13.5x-54  and D= 12.5x

12.5x = 13.5x-54    

Subtract  13.5 on both sides

-1x = -54

x=54

speed of ongoing trip = 54 miles per hour

Distance D = 12.5x = 12.5 * 54=675 miles

The length of the route = 675 miles

$260

I don’t know what model/formula you are supposed to be using.

But what I did first was calculated what 30% of 2700$ is.
2700 x .3 = 810

So it depreciates $810 per year.

$810 x. 3 years = 2430

2700 - 2430 = 260

In three years, the laptop will be worth $260

The coordinates of the vertices of a rectangle are (−3, 4) , (7, 2) , (6, −3) , and (−4, −1) . What is the perimeter of the rect
ki77a [65]

Answrer

Find out the what is the perimeter of the rectangle .

To prove

Now as shown in the figure.

Name the coordinates as.

A(−3, 4) ,B (7, 2) , C(6, −3) , and D(−4, −1) .

In rectangle opposite sides are equal.

Thus

AB = DC

AD = BC

Formula

Disatnce\ formula = \sqrt{(x_{2} - x_{1})^{2} +(y_{2} - y_{1})^{2}}

Now the points  A(−3, 4) and  B(7, 2)

AB = \sqrt{(7- (-3))^{2} +(2- 4)^{2}}

AB = \sqrt{(10)^{2} +(-2)^{2}}

AB = \sqrt{100+4}

AB = \sqrt{104}

AB = 2\sqrt{26}\units

Thus

CD= 2\sqrt{26}\units

Now the points

A (−3, 4) , D (−4, −1)

AD = \sqrt{(-4 - (-3))^{2} +(-1- 4)^{2}}

AD = \sqrt{(-1)^{2} +(-5)^{2}}

AD = \sqrt{1 + 25}

AD = \sqrt{26}\units

Thus

BC = \sqrt{26}\units  

Formula

Perimeter of rectangle = 2 (Length + Breadth)

Here

Length = 2\sqrt{26}\ units

Breadth = \sqrt{26}\ units  

Perimeter\ of\ rectangle = 2(2\sqrt{26} +\sqrt{26})

Perimeter\ of\ rectangle = 2(3\sqrt{26})

Perimeter\ of\ rectangle = 6\sqrt{26}

\sqrt{26} = 5.1 (Approx)

Perimeter\ of\ rectangle = 6\times 5.1

Perimeter of a rectangle = 30.6 units.

Therefore the perimeter of a rectangle is 30.6 units.
