Answer:

£1638.40

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

Given data

A car costs £5000 when new

Each year the value decreases by 20%.

Step two:

let us compute the worth in the next 5 years

year 1

worth= 5000- 0.2*5000

worth= 5000-1000

worth=  £4000

year 2

worth= 4000- 0.2*4000

worth= 4000-800

worth=  £3200

year 3

worth= 3200- 0.2*3200

worth= 3200-640

worth=  £2560

year 4

worth= 2560- 0.2*2560

worth= 2560-512

worth=  £2048

year 5

worth= 2048- 0.2*2048

worth= 2048-409.6

worth=  £1638.40

The person is wrong because after 5 years the car is worth  £1638.40

A boat takes 4 hours to go 20 miles upstream.It can go 32 miles downstream in same time.Find the rate of the current and the rat
Mandarinka [93]
Recall your d = rt, distance = rate * time.

now, if the boat has a speed of say "b", and the current has a speed of say "c", when the boat is going upstream, is not really going "b" fast, is going " b - c " fast, because the current is eroding speed from it, going upwards.

And when the boat is going downstream, is not going "b" fast either, because the current is now adding to speed to it, so is really going " b + c " fast.

The time it took one way, is the same time it took back, 4 hours each way.

thus

\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&\stackrel{miles}{distance}&\stackrel{mph}{rate}&\stackrel{hours}{t}\\
&------&------&------\\
Upstream&20&b-c&4\\
Downstream&32&b+c&4
\end{array}
\\\\\\
\begin{cases}
20=4(b-c)\implies \frac{20}{4}=b-c\implies 5+c=\boxed{b}\\
32=4(b+c)\implies \frac{32}{4}=b+c\implies 8=b+c\\
--------------------\\
8=\left(\boxed{5+c}  \right)+c
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
8=5+2c\implies 3=2c\implies \cfrac{3}{2}=c\implies 1\frac{1}{2}=c

what's the speed of the boat?  well, 5 + c = b.

Find the surface area. Round to the nearest tenth.
Anton [14]

Answer:

66.4 in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area is defined as the area around the surface of a 3-dimensional solid. The shape we are given here is a triangular prism with a square base. This means it contains one square and 4 triangles on the surface. To find the surface area, we just need to find the areas of all 5 surface shapes and add them up. We have been given that the square has a side length of 4 inches, meaning the area is 4^2 or 16. The area of a triangle is (1/2)base*height. The base length is 4 inches and the height is 6.3, and (1/2)*4*6.3 is 12.6. Note that, since there are four triangles, we have to multiply this value by 4 (12.6*4 = 50.4). Now we have the area of the square and the area of all the triangles put together, so we can just add them up:

16 + 50.4 = 66.4
