Answer:

Increasing a number by 5% and then by 20% is the same as increasing the original number by 26%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Take a number, x.

Now increase it by 5%.

1.05x

Now increase it by 20%.

1.2 * 1.05x = 1.26x

1.26x = 126% of x = 100% of x + 26% of x

100% of x is the same as x, so it is the same as the original x.

The increase is 26% of the original number.

Increasing a number by 5% and then by 20% is the same as increasing the original number by 26%.

two mountain bikers leave from the same parking lot and head in opposite directions on two different trails. the first rider goe

sveta [45]

Applying the required rule or theorem, it can be concluded that the second biker is farther from the parking lot. The distance of the bikers to the parking lot are:

i. First biker = 17.0 km

ii. Second biker = 20.22 km

The path of travel of both bikers would form a triangle. Applying the Pythagoras theorem to the path of the first biker would give his distance from the starting point. While applying the cosine rule to the path of second rider would gives his distance to the starting point.

Thus,

a. To determine the distance of the first biker from the parking lot.

Let the required distance be represented by x. Applying the Pythagoras theorem, we have:

$hyp^{2}$ = $adj 1^{2}$ + $adj 2^{2}$
