There are two triangles here: ABC and ADF. These triangles are similar, and thus proportional. So, we can set up a proportion between the left side of each triangle and the base of each triangle.

AB / AD = BC / DE

4 / (4 + BD) = 5 / 9

---AD is made up of AB and DB. We know AB, but not BD, so we need to find its value to find the length of AD.

5(4 + BD) = 9 x 4

20 + 5BD = 36

5BD = 16

BD = 3.2

AD = AB + BD

AD = 4 + 3.2

AD = 7.2

Hope this helps!

The value of your father’s car when bought was $30,000. If it loses 10% of its value every year, how long until the vehicle is o
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

6.7

Step-by-step explanation:

10% of 30000

10/100 x 30000

0.10 x 30000

=3000

In order to find how long you have to divide 20k with 3k

20000/3000 = 6.66666667

Round it up and you get 6.7

I have a link. I really needed help in number 16.
joja [24]
For this simulation, there are 5 numbers that we can draw. One of the numbers will result in seeing the groundhog. (1/5 or 0.20) To find the probability that Jay will see the groundhog 4 years in a row, we would use the following equation: 1/5•1/5•1/5•1/5
We would multiply the odds of getting a certain outcome by the number of time we want that outcome.
The odds that Jay will see the groundhog for the next for years is 0.0016, or .16%.

if pentagon abcd was reflected over the axis y-axis, reflected over the x-axis, and rotated 180, where would be point A' lie
frez [133]
A reflection over the x axis coupled with another reflection over the y axis leads to a rotation of 180 degrees. 

In other words,

Start with point A. Reflect over the x axis to get point B. Reflect B over the y axis to get point C. To go from A to C, we can rotate A 180 degrees about the origin.

----------------

So this means that if we do those reflections and then do the rotation, then we end up back where we started. Wherever point A is located, the point A' will also be located at the same position with the same coordinates.

18. Curry powder is sold at $7.45 per 100 g. How much money will Thuy need in order to buy 3 kg of curry powder?
MissTica

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$7.45 = 100g

x = 3kg( 3 × 1000) = 3000g

∵ $7.45 = 100g

   x        = 3000g

(100 × x) = (7.45 ×  3000)

100x = 22350

100x/100 = 22350/100

x  = $223.5
