10% * $230.00 = $23.00
The discount is $23.00.
_____
Of course, you know that 10% expressed as a decimal is 0.10. Many calculators will calculate percentages directly. If yours doesn't, you can use the decimal equivalent. If you recognize that multiplying by 1/10 simply shifts the decimal point to the left one place, you can do the arithmetic in your head.
The answer to this question would be

Answer:
Part 1) The perimeter of rectangle is equal to 24 units
Part 2) The area of rectangle is equal to 32 square units
Step-by-step explanation:
Part 1) Find the perimeter of rectangle
we know that
The perimeter of rectangle is equal to
where
L is the length of rectangle
W is the width of rectangle
we have
Plot the figure to better understand the problem
using a graphing tool
see the attached figure
Remember that in a rectangle opposite sides are congruent and the measure of each interior angle is equal to 90 degrees
so
the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to
step 1
Find the distance FG
substitute the values
step 2
Find the distance RF
substitute the values
step 3
Find the perimeter
we have
substitute
Part 2) Find the area of rectangle FROG
we know that
The area of rectangle is equal to
we have
substitute
The person and his shadow make a right triangle as well as the tree and it's shadow. they will be similar right triangles containing angles that are equal. I'm in similar triangles the angles are proportional so a ratio could be used to determine the shadow length. this ratio is:
25/5 = x/15
(Notice that both the height of the person and
the height of the tree height of the tree are on
the bottom because these would be similar
sides and the same for the shadows with both
on top. this could easily have been switched
with the shadows on bottom and heights on
top like:
5/25 = 15/x
however I noticed the 25/5 could easily be
reduced. this eliminated the need for cross
multiplication.)
The 25/5 can be reduced to 5:
5 = x/15
and then multiply both sides by 15 and you get:
x = 75
so the answer is 75 feet long.
this can be checked various ways. using trigonometry we have the opposite and adjacent sides so tangent could be used to find the angle between the shadow and the hypotenuse. this is:
tan (x) = opposite/adjacent
opposite = height
adjacent = shadow
so:
tan (x) = 5/25 for person
tan (x) = 15/75 for tree
these equations both reduce to:
tan (x) = 1/5
And of both equations are the same then the angLee are equal creating similar triangles and a correct answer
