Answer:

124 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Use ratios to find x and y, then find AB and GH, them sum up the lengths.

Find x:

12/15 = x/10
x = 12*10/15
x = 8 in

Find y:

12/15 = 16/y
y = 15*16/12
y = 20 in

Find AB:

y - 14 = 20 - 14 = 6 in

Find GH:

5x - 3 = 5*8 - 3 = 37 in

Find the perimeter:

P = 6 + 15 + 20 + 10 + 37 + 8 + 16 + 12 = 124 in

Kayla wants to find the width, AB, of a river. She walks along the edge of the river 65 ft and marks point C. Then she walks 25

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Part A) The triangles ABC and EDC are similar by AAA, because the three internal angles are equal in both triangles

Part B) The width of the river is about $39\ ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two triangles are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal and its corresponding angles are congruent

Part A) we know that

In this problem , triangles ABC and CDE are similar by AAA, because its corresponding angles are congruent

m<DCE=m<ACB -----> by vertical angles

m<EDC=m<ABC -----> is a right angle

m<DEC=m<CAB -----> the sum of the internal angles must be equal to 180 degrees

Part B) we know that

The triangles ABC and EDC are similar -------> see Part A

therefore

$\frac{BC}{DC}=\frac{AB}{DE}$

substitute the values and solve for AB

$\frac{65}{25}=\frac{AB}{15}$

$AB=15*(\frac{65}{25})=39\ ft$

PLEASE HELP

Answer:

$593.26

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the price of the laptop is $2500 and each year its resale value decreases by 25%. It means that 100 - 25 = 75% of the value is retained every year for the resale.

So, the resale value for 1st year = $\frac{75}{100} *2500 =$ $1875

for 2nd year = $\frac{75}{100} *1875 =$ $1406.25

for 3rd year = $\frac{75}{100} *1406.25 =$ $1054.7

for 4th year = $\frac{75}{100} *1054.7 =$ $791.01

for 5th year = $\frac{75}{100} *791.01 =$ $593.25

Or we can use the following formula to find its resale value after 5 years:

$2500*(0.75)^5 =$ $593.26
