Answer:

The length of BC is 17 units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

An isosceles triangle has two equal sides and two equal angles

In this problem we have an isosceles triangle

Because

m∠ACB=m∠ABC ----> given problem

AC=AB

substitute the given values

$x+9=2x-8$

solve for x

$2x-x=9+8$

$x=17$

therefore

The length of BC is 17 units

A meter stick casts a shadow 2.4 m long at the same time a flagpole casts a shadow 9.7 m long. How tall is the flagpole

Luda [366]

The first thing we are going to do is draw a diagram of the situation to help us to solve the situation.
We an draw tow similar triangle between the length of the shadows and the height of the stick and the pole.
Since meter stick has a length of 1 meter, the height of our smaller triangle is 1 meter. Let $h$ be height of of the pole. Since both triangles are similiar we can establish a proportion between their corresponding sides and solve for $h$ :
$\frac{h}{1} = \frac{9.7}{2.4}$
$h=\frac{9.7}{2.4}$
$h=4.04$

We can conclude that the pole is 4.04 meters tall.

The value of a house decreases at a steady rate of 20% each year. What is the total percentage loss (to the nearest integer) in

Westkost [7]

Answer: The total percentage loss would be 67%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Rate of decline each year = 20%

Number of years = 5

We need to find the total percentage loss in value of the house at the end of 5 years.

So, Total percentage loss would be

$1-(1-\dfrac{r}{100})^5\\\\=1-(1-\dfrac{20}{100})^5\\\\=1-(\dfrac{4}{5})^5\\\\=1-(0.8)^5\\\\=0.67\\\\\approx 67%$

Hence, the total percentage loss would be 67%.

Sales for last week= $3,500

Let us find the amount of the commission

=7.5/100* 3500

=0.075*3500

=$262.5

Hence the commission earned last week is

$262.5

I need to know what -(6h + 7) + 8 = -19 is

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

10/3

Step-by-step explanation:

-1(6h + 7) = -6h - 7

-6h - 7 + 8 = -6h + 1

-6h + 1 = -19

-1 -1 - Subtract 1 from both sides.

-6h = -20

-6 -6 - Divide both sides by negative 6

h = 10/3
