Stanley the skunk will save about 15.5 feet.
This problem can be solve with the Pythagorean Theorem. The possible paths that Stanley can take make a right triangle. The legs of the triangle are 25 and 28, and the hypotenuse would be 37.5.
If Stanley went the long way, he would travel 25 + 28 = 53 feet. Taking the short way (hypotenuse) is 53 - 37.5 = 15.5 feet shorter.
Answer:
x=45
Step-by-step explanation:
An entire triangle is 180 degrees and you already know that one angle is 90 degrees. 180 - 90 is 90. Now you have the equation 2x=90.
You then divide each side by 2 to get the x by itself which leaves you with x=45.
Sale price = $450
original price = 25%y
dicount = +20%
solution = $450 × 45%
= $202.5
= $652.5
