Answer:

choice f

Step-by-step explanation:

take ∆ abc

ab^2 = ac^2 + ab^2

400 = 225 + ab^2

ab =√ 175

∆aDB

bd = 20-x

ad^2 = 175 -(20-x)^2

∆acd

225 = x^2 + 175 - 400+ 40x - x^2

225 = -225 + 40x

450 = 40x

x = 45/4

Joe is making $485 payments monthly, but the amount gets interest on a yearly basis, not monthly, so the amount that yields interest is 485*12

also, keep in mind, we're assuming is compound interest, as opposed to simple interest
