Step-by-step explanation:
- Since m∠ACM = 90°, then by angle addition, m∠ACP + m∠PCM = 90°.
- Since CP⊥ AM, then by definition of perpendicular, m∠APC = 90°. Since angles of a triangle add up to 180°, that means m∠PAC + m∠ACP = 90°.
- By substitution, m∠PCM = m∠PAC.
- Since m∠PCM + m∠CMP = 90°, then by substitution, m∠CMP = m∠PAC.
- Therefore, by AAA, △ACP and △CMP are similar.
Having proven that the triangles are similar, we can write the proportion:
AP / CP = CP / MP
9 / CP = CP / 16
CP² = 144
CP = 12
Now, we can simply use Pythagorean theorem to find the other sides.
AC² = AP² + CP²
AC² = 9² + 12²
AC = 15
CM² = CP² + PM²
CM² = 12² + 16²
CM = 20
Answer:
1. 7^(x-y)
2. z^5x^y

Part A:
Given that <span>the mattress is sold for 50% off of the retail price, let the retail price of the mattress be x, then
50% of x = 1200
⇒ 0.5x = 1200
⇒ x = 1200 / 0.5 = 2400
Therefore, </span><span>the retail price of the mattress, before the discount is $2,400.
Part B:
Given that </span><span>the store marks up the retail price to 150% of the wholesale price. Let the whole sale price be p, then
(100% + 150%) of p = 2400
250% of p = 2400
2.5p = 2400
p = 2400 / 2.5 = 960.
Therefore, </span><span>the wholesale price, before the markup was $960</span>
Step-by-step explanation:
the answer is in the above image
If it is fractions then the answer is -7/15. Think of as 8/15 - 1/15 except the answer is a negative number
