Answer:
ST = 8 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Since ∆PQR is congruent to ∆STU, therefore, the three sides of ∆PQR would be congruent or equal to the corresponding three sides of ∆STU.
PQ corresponds to ST.
Therefore, PQ is congruent to corresponding side ST, which is 8 m
ST = 8 m
Given:
Initial value = 25,000
depreciation = 15% per annum based on net book value
Net book value = 25,000 (1 - 0.15)^t
where t is the number of years
NBV = 25,000 (0.85)^5
NBV = 25,000 (0.4437)
NBV = 11,092.50
The approximate value of the car 5 years from date of purchase is 11,092.50
It would be smaller because 11/12 = 22/24
