Answer:

CD = 25 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

\frac{CD}{RS} = \frac{CE}{RT} , substitute values

\frac{CD}{20} = \frac{40}{32}  ( cross- multiply )

32CD = 800 ( divide both sides by 32 )

CD = 25

Answer:

CD = 25 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

\triangle CDE \sim \triangle RST

\therefore \frac{CD}{20}=\frac{40}{32}

(Corresponding sides of similar triangles are in proportion)

\therefore \frac{CD}{20}=\frac{5}{4}

\therefore CD = \frac{5}{\cancel 4}\times \cancel {20} \:\:\blue{\bold{5}}

\therefore CD = 5\times 5

\therefore CD = 25\: ft

5. Landon bought a new car for $16,000 and it depreciates 4.5% every year. Write a function that describes
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

<h3>The value C(t) of the car after  5  years is $12709.</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Landon bought a new car for $16,000 and it depreciates 4.5% every year.

<h3>To find the value C(t) of the car after  5  years:</h3>

Initial value C(0)= $16,000

Depreciation rate is  r=\frac{4.5}{100}

<h3>∴ r=0.045</h3>

Period ,  t=5 years

C(t)=C(0)(1-r)^t

Substitute the values we get

C(5)=16000(1-0.045)^5

=16000(0.955)^5

=16000(0.7943)

∴ C(5)=12708.8

<h3>The value C(t) of the car after  5  years is  $ 12709</h3>

Solve.<br><br> The answer must be a fraction. Solve by substituting.
maw [93]

Answer: x = -14/5

Step-by-step explanation: We shall begin by expanding the brackets for both sides of the equation

-2/3 (x + 2) = 1/6 (x + 6)

(-2x/3) -4/3 = (x/6) + 1

By collecting like terms we now have

(-2x/3) - (x/6) = 1 + 4/3

(-4x - x)/6 = 7/3

-5x/6 = 7/3

By cross multiplication we now have

-5x (3) = 7 (6)

-15x = 42

x = -(42/15) {simplify further by dividing the RHS by 3}

x = -14/5

Therefore x equals, minus fourteen over five (-14/5)
