Answer:

Remi needs 15 cm of wood to be cut for the shelf.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have drawn the triangle for your reference.

Now Given:

Base measure (BC) =30 cm

Slant height (AB) = 24 cm

Slant height (AC) = 18 cm

Also Given horizontal shelf halfway between the base and the top.

In the triangle drawn horizontal shelf is denoted by DE.

We need to find the measure of DE.

Now we know that horizontal shelf halfway between the base and the top.

Hence by Midpoint theorem which states that;

"The segment joining two sides of a triangle at the midpoints of those sides is parallel to the third side and is half the length of the third side."

DE=\frac{1}{2}\times BC

Substituting the value we get;

DE = \frac{1}{2}\times 30 =15\ cm

Hence Remi needs 15 cm of wood to be cut for the shelf.

1. )The function f(x)=12,500(0.87)^x models the value of a car x years after it is purchased.

1] Given that the value of x has been modeled by f(x)=12500(0.87)^x, then:
the rate of change between years 1 and 5 will be:
rate of change is given by:
[f(b)-f(a)]/(b-a)
thus:
f(1)=12500(0.87)^1=10875
f(5)=12500(0.87)^5=6230.3
rate of change will be:
(6230.3-10875)/(5-1)
=-1161.2
 rate of change in years 11 to 15 will be:
f(11)=12500(0.87)^11=2701.6
f(15)=12500(0.87)^15=1,547.74
thus the rate of change will be:
(1547.74-2701.6)/(15-11)
=-288
dividing the two rates of change we get:
-288/-1161.2
-=1/4
comparing the two rate of change we conclude that:
The average rate of change between years 11 and 15  is about 1/4  the rate between years 1 and 5.
The answer is D]
2] Given that the population of beavers decreases exponentially at the rate of 7.5% per year, the monthly rate will be:
monthly rate=(n/12)
where n is the number of months
=7.5/12
=0.625
This is approximately equal to 0.65%. The correct answer is A. 0.65%

just olya [345]
The total amount owed after 6 months will be found using the formula:
FV=P(1+r/100*n)^n
P=principle=$10000
r=rate=18%
n=terms=0.5


FV=10000(1+18/2*100)^0.5
FV=$10,440.30651
Thus the amount owed will be $10440.30651
