Answer:
175 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question,
(a) ΔABC and ΔEDC are similar because all the angles in ΔABC is equal to the corresponding angles in ΔEDC.
I.e, ΔABC is equiangular to ΔEDC. (AAA).
(b) From the diagram.
for similar angle, ratio of corresponding sides are equal
100/d = 4x/7x
100/d = 4/7
where d = distance across the river
solve for d
d = (100×7)/4
d = 175 ft
For it to double its price the price has to be +100% more, and every year you get +2.4%, so you do:
100/2.4≈ 42 years or 41.66666667.. years.
#1 7.1 years old
#2 7.8 years old
#3 87.4
#4 74
#5 7.4
3/4 is 75% so the answer is 75% out of 100
Hope that helps!:)
