The value of x is 12.15 inches when both the rectangles are similar.

According to the question,

We have the following information:

We have two figures of rectangle which are similar and measurements of their length and width is given.

We know that when two figures are similar then it means that the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal.

So, we have the following expression for these two rectangles:

40/18 = 27/x

Using the cross multiplication method:

40*x = 18*27

Dividing both the sides of the equation by 40:

x = (18*27)/40

x = 12.15 inches

Hence, the value of x is 12.15 inches when both the rectangles are similar.

Investigate the difference between compounding annually and simple interest

Gennadij [26K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple interest formula

$A = P (1 + rt)$

Compound interest formula

$A = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

$A = 5000 (1 + 0.025*1)\\A=5000(1.025)\\A=5125$

Simple interest is $125

. $A = 5000 (1 + \frac{0.025}{1})^{1*1} \\A=5000(1.025)\\A= 5125$

Compound interest is $125

c. the result for both a and b are the same

$A = 5000 (1 + 0.025*3) \\A=5000(1.075) \\A=5375$

the simple interest is $375

. $A = 5000 (1 + \frac{0.025}{1})^{1*3}] \\A=5000(1.025)^3 \\A=5000(1.077)\\A= 5385$

the compound interest is $385

f. the result compared, compound interest is $10 more than simple interest

$A = 5000 (1 + 0.02*6) \\A=5000(1.12) \\A=5600$

the simple interest is $600

$A = 5000 (1 + \frac{0.02}{1})^{1*6}] \\A=5000(1.12)^6 \\A=5000(1.9738) \\A= 9869$

the compound interest is $4869

i. the result from g and h, h is over 8 times bigger than g.

j. interest compound annually is not the same as simple interest, only for the case of a and b seeing that it is for 1 year. but for 2years and above there is difference as seen in c to h
