Because the triangles are similar the ratio of all the sides would be the same. So you need to find the ratio of the common sides and then use that ratio to find the unkown side.
In this picture sides FG = 52, FV would be the same side and is 24.
Dividing 24/52 = 0.461, so the unkown side WV would be 0.444 of it's common side HG.
HG = 39
39 * 0.461= 18.
The answer is C. 18
Answer:
A multiplicative inverse is a reciprocal. ... A reciprocal is one of a pair of numbers that when multiplied with another number equals the number 1. For example, if we have the number 7, the multiplicative inverse, or reciprocal, would be 1/7 because when you multiply 7 and 1/7 together, you get 1!
Year 1: 1,300 * 55% = 715 depreciation
1,300 - 715 = 585 book value
Year 2: 585 * 55% = 321.75 depreciation
585 - 321.75 = 263.25 book value
Year 3: 263.25 * 55% = 144.79 depreciation
263.25 - 144.79 = 118.46 book value
If the bike was bought 2 years ago, then its current value is $263.25.
Currently, it is the beginning of Year 3 but depreciation is computed at the end of the year.
Answer:
the probability is 0.311 (31.1%)
Step-by-step explanation:
defining the event L= being late to work :Then knowing that each mode of transportation is equally likely (since we do not know its travel habits) :
P(L)= probability of taking the bicycle * probability of being late if he takes the bicycle + probability of taking the car* probability of being late if he takes the car + probability of taking the bus* probability of being late if he takes the bus +probability of taking the train* probability of being late if he takes the train = 1/4 * 0.75 + 1/4 * 0.43 + 1/4 * 0.15 + 1/4 * 0.05 = 0.345
then we can use the theorem of Bayes for conditional probability. Thus defining the event C= Bob takes the car , we have
P(C/L)= P(C∩L)/P(L) = 1/4 * 0.43 /0.345 = 0.311 (31.1%)
where
P(C∩L)= probability of taking the car and being late
P(C/L)= probability that Bob had taken the car given that he is late
