The ford escape uses hybrid fuel technology to deliver more power, convenience, prestige, and fuel economy with the latest in technology than non- hybrid cars. These criteria would be identified in which stage of the consumer purchase decision process for an automobile?

a. problem recognition

b. needs analysis

c. information search

d. post- purchase evaluation

C, information search

Explanation:

There are stages in consumer purchase decision process which includes problem recognition, information search, evaluation of alternatives, etc.

Information search is the second stage of consumer purchase decision process. When a consumer has recognized the need for a product, the next thing is getting information on and about the product.

For the ford escape above, in the process of information search, the consumer will find out that the vehicle uses the hybrid fuel technology to deliver more power, prestige, fuel economy, etc; which is not obtainable in non-hybrid cars.

This information will enable a consumer to determine whether or not to purchase the ford escape.

Cheers.

bd = 9 cm

step-by-step explanation:

in a 30°-60°-90° triangle, the ratio of side lengths is 1 : √3 : 2. that is, the longest side (hypotenuse) is twice the length of the shortest side.

all of the triangles in your geometry are 30°-60°-90° triangles. ac is the hypotenuse of δacd, and the short side of δabc.

the short side ad of δacd will be half the length of ac, so 3 cm. the hypotenuse ab of δabc will be twice the length of ac, so 12 cm. segment bd is the difference of the lengths ab and ad, so is

bd = ab -ad

bd = 12 cm - 3 cm = 9 cm

comment on side length ratios

you can figure the ratios of side lengths in a 30°-60°-90° triangle by considering the trig ratios of the angles. or you can figure the length of the altitude of an equilateral triangle of side length 2 using the pythagorean theorem.
