Let the average cost of car in 2009 be $x, then the average cost of a car in 2013 is 2x - 5
25,000 = 2x - 5
2x = 25,000 + 5 = 25,005
x = 25,005/2 = $12,502.50

What is the length of the equilateral triangle below?
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

C. 5√3

Step-by-step explanation:

To figure this out, we need to apply the Pythagorean Theorem, <em>a</em><em>²</em><em> </em><em>+</em><em> </em><em>b</em><em>²</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>c</em><em>²,</em><em> </em>where <em>c</em><em> </em>is the "HYPOTENUSE". In this case, <em>c</em><em> </em>is already found for us [10], so the operation we use whenever the hypotenuse is defined is deduction, or subtraction. Apply the Pythagorean Theorem: a² + 25 = 100; 75 = a². Now, to find <em>a</em><em>,</em><em> </em>we need to find two numbers that multiply to 75, where one of them is a PERFECT SQUARE, and in this case, they are 3 and 25. Since the square root of 25 is 5 [in this case, NO NON-NEGATIVE root], that gets moved to the outside of the radical, and 3 [NON-PERFECT SQUARE] stays wrapped under the radical, ending up with <em>5</em><em>√</em><em>3.</em><em> </em>You understand?

1. The ratio of the measures of the sides of a triangle is 5:6:8, and
julsineya [31]

Answer:

42mm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the shortest side of the triangle be 5x, the middle side be 6x, and the longest side be 8x.

5x+6x+8x = 159.6

19x = 159.6

x = 159.6 ÷ 19

x = 8.4

Shortest side of triangle (5x) = 8.4 × 5

                                               = 42
