Length of the other diagonal in the rectangular window is equals to

17 feet.

<h3>What is rectangle?</h3>

" Rectangle is defined as the quadrilateral with both the pairs of opposite sides are parallel and congruent. Each angle is of measure 90°."

According to the question,

Given rectangular window,

Length of top and bottom side = 8 feet

Length of other sides = 15 feet.

Length of one diagonal = 17 feet.

From the properties of a rectangle,

Diagonals are congruent to each other.

Therefore , length of the other diagonal is 17 feet.

Hence, Option(B) is the correct answer.

\begin{gathered} (4+3x)^2=x^2+(3+3x)^2 \\ 16+24x+9x^2=x^2+9+18x+9x^2 \\ 16+24x+9x^2=10x^2+18x+9 \\ 16+24x+9x^2-9=10x^2+18x+9-9 \\ 9x^2+24x+7=10x^2+18x \\ 9x^2+24x+7-18x=10x^2+18x-18x \\ 9x^2+6x+7=10x^2 \\ 9x^2+6x+7-10x^2=10x^2-10x^2 \\ -x^2+6x+7=0 \end{gathered}

using the formula of the quadratic equation

\begin{gathered} x_{1,\: 2}=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} \\ x1=\frac{-6+\sqrt{6^2-4\left(-1\right)\cdot\:7}}{2\left(-1\right)}=-1 \\ x2=\frac{-6-\sqrt{6^2-4\left(-1\right)\cdot\:7}}{2\left(-1\right)}=7 \end{gathered}

the length cannot be negative, therefore x=7

length of the shorter leg is: 7ft

length of the longer leg is: 3+3(7)= 24ft

length of the hypotenuse is: 4+3(7)= 25ft

Dirk opened up a savings account with $600. At a yearly interest rate of 5 percent that is compounded monthly, how much interest
gladu [14]

Answer:

Hence final answer is $15.17

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Dirk opened up a savings account with $600.

So P=$600

"At a yearly interest rate of 5 percent"

Means r=5% = 0.05

"compounded monthly" means n=12

i= monthly rate of interest = r/n=0.05/12

"how much interest will Dirk earn in six months." means find Interest when time is 6 months


Plug these values into compound interest formula:

A=P\left(1+i\right)^t

A=600\left(1+\frac{0.05}{12}\right)^6

A=600\left(1+0.00417\right)^6

A=600\left(1.00417\right)^6

A=600\left(1.02528228828\right)

A=615.169372966

which is approx

A=615.17

Now interest earned will be difference of A and P

Interest =A-P=615.17-600=$15.17

Hence final answer is $15.17
