Area depends on the product of sides,

so if the sides are shortened by a factor of 2, area will reduce by a factor of 4. (2×2)

new area = 10/4=2.5 cm²

Solve for x.

x = {-4, 4}

Divide each side by '5'. x2 = 16 Simplifying x2 = 16 Take the square root of each side: x = {-4, 4}

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the right triangle altitude theorem, the correct proportions are:

$\dfrac{AB}{AC} = \dfrac{AC}{AD}$

$\dfrac{AB}{x} = \dfrac{x}{AD}$

$\dfrac{25}{x} = \dfrac{x}{16}$

$x^2 = 25 \times 16$

$x = 20$

AC = 20 cm

$\dfrac{AB}{CB} = \dfrac{CB}{DB}$

$\dfrac{AB}{y} = \dfrac{y}{DB}$

$\dfrac{25}{y} = \dfrac{y}{9}$

$y^2 = 25 \times 9$

$y = 15$

CB = 15 cm

Phan earned gross wages of $487.12. Phan's deductions were: $49 in federal withholding taxes, 6.2% in social security taxes, 1.4

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

$360.12

Step-by-step explanation:

Phan's net pay would be equal to the gross wage he receives minus the deductions:

Gross wage= $487.12

Federal withholding taxes= $49

Social security taxes= $487.12*6.2%= $30.2

Medicare taxes= $487.12*1.45%= $7.06

Health insurance= $28.74

Union dues= $12

Net pay= $487.12-$49-$30.2-$7.06-$28.74-$12

Net pay= $360.12

According to this, Phan's net pay is $360.12.
