5. the health insurance company will pay 90% of the knee replacement surgery for mrs. pollard, after she pays a $500 deductible. the cost of her surgery is $31,700. how much will mrs. pollard pay for the surgery?

$28,143. Not 100% sure this is right, I checked with a calculator to make sure. This is what I get for the answer everytime. Hope this helps.

Step-by-step explanation:

$31,770 - $500 = $31,270

$31,270 * 90% = $28,143

part a: triangles gcb and epb

part b. sides cg and rp are parallel by definition of parallelogram.

angles cgb and e are congruent by being alternate interior angles of parallel lines cut by a transversal. angles gbc and ebp are congruent because they are vertical angles. by aa similarity, the triangles are similar.

part c. since the triangles are similar, the ratios of the lengths of corresponding sides are equal.

calculation of be:

gb/be = cb/bp

(400 ft)/be = 300/200

(400 ft)/be = 3/2

3be = 2 * 400 ft

3be = 800 ft

be = 800/3 ft

calculation of pe:

gc/pe = cb/bp

(350 ft)/pe = 300/200

(350 ft)/pe = 3/2

3pe = 2 * 350 ft

3pe = 700 ft

pe = 700/3 ft
