Vikki [24]2 years ago

Applying the leg rule, and solving algebraically, the lengths are determined as:

JG = 9

HJ = 12

<h3>What is the Leg Rule?</h3>

The Leg rule states that when an altitude bisects the right angle of a right triangle and intersects the hypotenuse, then, hypotenuse/leg = leg/part.

Find length of JG using algebraic solutions and the leg rule:

Let JG = x

Hypotenuse = x + 16

Leg = 15

Part = x

Therefore:

(x + 16)/15 = 15/x (leg rule)

Cross multiply

x(x + 16) = (15)(15)

x² + 16x = 225

x² + 16x - 225 = 0

Factorize

(x + 25)(x − 9) = 0

x = -25 or x = 9

The length of JG (x) cannot be negative, therefore, the length of JG = 9.

Find length of JG using algebraic solutions:

Let HJ = y

Based on the altitude theorem, we would have:

y = √(16 × JG)

Substitute

y = √(16 × 9)

y = √(144)
y = 12

Therefore, the length of HJ is: 12.

Introduction to addition or subtraction of fractions with different denominator 3/4-1/8
snow_lady [41]
The denominator must be the same, so just think of the LEAST COMMON MULTIPLE, The LCM here is 8, because you can multiply 4 by 2 to get 8.
so when you multiply, you multiply both on the top and on the bottom, so this would be:
3 x 2 / 4 x 2 = 6 / 8
Now you can add or subtract: 6/8 - 1/8 = 5/8

John accepted a reduction of 15% on his salary when his company was not doing well. Now his company's financial position has imp
o-na [289]
To reverse a percentage decrease you divide it by the decrease (+ 100%)
For example we will pick the number, 100, which is decreased by 15% to 85.

To make 85 back to 100 we divide it by the decrease (1-0.15):
85 / 0.85 = 100

To find out how much 85 increased to get back to 100, we do:
15 / 85 = 0.1765 = %17.65

15 is the reduction/difference, and 85 is the with reduction total.

Because percentages stay the same, this is applicable to any numbers, from this, we know that whenever something is reduced by 15% - when restored to it's original is increased by %17.65

The answer is %17.65

A total of $2,000 is invested at an annual interest rate of 2%. Find the balance in the account after
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

<u>The balance in the account after 10 years is US$ 2,442.81</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the data given to us for answering the question:

Investment amount = US$ 2,000

Duration of the investment = 10 years

Annual interest rate = 2% compounded continuously

2. Let's find the future value of this investment after 10 years, using the following formula:

FV = PV * eˣ ⁿ

PV = Investment = US$ 2,000

number of periods (n) = 10 (10 years compounded continuously)

rate (x) = 2% = 0.02

e = 2.71828 (Euler's number)

Replacing with the real values, we have:

FV = 2,000 * (2.71828)^0.02*10

FV = 2,000 * 2.71828^0.2

FV = 2,000 * 1.2214027

<u>FV = US$ 2,442.81</u>

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

The answer is when they work 4 hours  x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

510 + 80x = 650 + 45x

80x - 45x = 650 - 510

35x = 140

x = 140/35

x = 4 hours

Benito spent $1616 to operate his car last year. Some of these expenses are listed below. Benito's only other expense was for ga
Verizon [17]
Subtract all the operating expenses from the amount he spent total and get what's left over is $491.  That's what he spent on gas.  Divide the number of miles he drove by the amount he spent on the gas to find out what the average cost of the gas was per mile.  491/7270 = .06753.  But that is expressed in dollars and we need it in cents.  Multiply that decimal by 100 to get 6.75 cents, choice A from above.
