Well to solve this, lets plug in some numbers. Lets assume that for now, the starting number is 2. If it increases by 100%, bringing it up to 4, then decreases 100%, it is brought down to zero. Now one thing to note is that any number decrease by 100% is automatically zero. Watch, we start with two, it is then increased by 150%, bringing it up to 5, then decreased by 100%, bringing it back down to zero. In conclusion, 100% cannot be specified as a value, but rather a relation. 100% represents the entire number, meaning that if you are decreasing a number by 100%, you are basically subtracting the number by itself!

What is the value of u and v?
Novay_Z [31]

Answer and Explanation:

Since this is an isosceles right triangle, you can use the ratio of side lengths specific to this type of triangle where both legs are the hypotenuse over root 2:

u = v = 164√2 / √2 = 164

so:

u = 164

v = 164
