Answer:

DF = 7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the 3 sides are congruent, then

EF = DE , that is

4.5m - 42 = 1.5m - 9 ( subtract 1.5m from both sides )

3m - 42 = - 9 ( add 42 to both sides )

3m = 33 ( divide both sides by 3 )

m = 11

Thus

DE = 1.5m - 9 = 1.5(11) - 9 = 16.5 - 9 = 7.5

Then

DF = 7.5

By what percent must we decrease the number A to obtain the number 4A/5?

Schach [20]

$\bf \cfrac{4A}{5}\implies \cfrac{4}{5}\cdot A\impliedby \textit{A is being reduced to four fifths} \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{let's convert four fifths to percentage}}{\cfrac{4}{5}\cdot 100\implies \cfrac{400}{5}\implies 80}$

so 4/5 of A is really 80% of A then.

since a whole A is 100% of A, 100% - 80% = 20%, A is being reduced by 20%, namely 1/5.
