Answer:

6 dm

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle DBE is similar to triangle ABC, so their side lengths are proportional.

DE/AC = DB/AB

The length of DB can be found from ...

DB +AD = AB

DB = AB -AD = (15 -10) dm = 5 dm

So, we can fill in the proportion:

DE/(18 dm) = (5 dm)/(15 dm)

DE = (18 dm)·(1/3) . . . . . . . . . . simplify, multiply by 18 dm

DE = 6 dm

_____

It can be helpful to draw and label a figure.

Answer:

a=35, b=14, c=5

Step-by-step explanation:

b+6=20, b+6-6=20-6, b=14

4c-6=14, 4c-6+6=14+6, 4c=20, 4c/4=20/4, c=5

a triangle's angles always add up to 180, 180-55-90(the square means right angle)=35

Amount Financed: $2,650
Finance Charge: $484.69
Number of Payments: 36

(Finance Charge)/(Amount Financed)*100$=($484.69)/($2,650)*100$
(Finance Charge)/(Amount Financed)*100$=(0.1829)*100$
(Finance Charge)/(Amount Financed)*100$=$18.29

In the row of number of Payments 36, we look for:
(Finance Charge)/(Amount Financed)*100$=$18.29, and we see to which annual porcentage rate it corresponds in the first row

Answer: 11.25%

Find the 16th term for the sequence a(n)=7-2n.
N76 [4]
In the expression that you are given, n is the is number in the sequence. So in this scenario, n=16. So substitute the 16 into the equation. a(n)=7-2(16)=7-32=-25. So the 16th term in the sequence is -25.
