A new car is purchased for 18300 dollars. The value of the car depreciates at 5.75% per year. To the nearest year, how long will it be until the value of the car is 8200 dollars?

2.23?

Step-by-step explanation:

18300 x 0.0575 (5.75 ÷ 100 = 0.0575) = 1,052.25

18300 -1052.25 =17,247.75

the correct option is 2.

step-by-step explanation:

according to the given information triangle abc is a right angle triangle with right angle at a. segment ab is 5 and segment ac is 7. point d is on segment bc and angles adb and adc are right angles.

it is given that triangles abd, cad, and cba are similar.

two triangles are similar if their corresponding sides are proportional.

in triangle cba, using pythagoras theorem

                      )

triangle abd and cba are similar,

                            (2)

triangle cad and cba are similar,

                      )

using (1), (2) and (3), we get

hence proved.

therefore option 2 is correct.
