When flying from Florida to the Philippines island why does the shortest route pass through Alaska?

Because the earth is round, the distance seen on a flat map is a lot further than the distance on a globe, because of distortion. So following the circle that goes through these 3 points ( Florida, Alaska and the Philippines) it is a shorter distance to fly over Alaska.

The value of a car is $30,000 and depreciates at a rate of 6.5% each year.
navik [9.2K]

Answer:$20250

Step-by-step explanation:

6.5% of 30000

6.5/100 x 30000

(6.5 x 30000)/100

195000/100=1950

First year depreciation 30000-1950=28050

Second year=28050-1950=26100

Third year=26100-1950=24150

Fourth year=24150-1950=22200

Fifth year=22200-1950=20250

= 1.5a - 0.5
