See the picture attached with letters to better understand the problem

in the right triangle ABD
applying the Pythagoras theorem
8²=AD²+(x+4)²-----> AD²=64-(x+4)²------> equation 1

in the right triangle ADC
applying the Pythagoras theorem
12²=AD²+(2x+1)²-----> AD²=144-(2x+1)²------> equation 2

equate equation 1 and equation 2
64-(x+4)²=144-(2x+1)²-------> 64-[x²+8x+16]=144-[4x²+4x+1]
64-x²-8x-16=144-4x²-4x-1
4x²-x²-8x+4x=144-1-64+16
3x²-4x=95
3x²-4x-95=0

using a graph tool----> to resolve the second order equation
see the attached figure N 2
the solution is
x=6.33

the answer is
x=6.33 units

Decide whether quadrilateral JKLM is a rectangle, a rhombus, or a square. More than one answer may apply!

NARA [144]

Answer:

Square.

Step-by-step explanation:

given J(-4,2) || K(0,3) || L(1,-1) || M(-3,-2)

given below the visual answer.

you can find the distance of coordinate to coordinate:

Distance of JK

√(-4-0)² + (2-3)²

√17

Distance of KL

√(0-1)²+(3--1)²

√17

Distance of LM

√(1--3)²+(-1--2)²

√17

Distance of MJ

√(-3--4)²+(-2-2)²

√17

All sides are similar of √17 , so its a square.

Arlo invested $4000 in an account that earns 5.5% interest, compounded annually. The formula for compound interest is A(t)=P(1+i

USPshnik [31]

$\bf ~~~~~~ \textit{Compound Interest Earned Amount} \\\\ A=P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt} \quad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill &\$4000\\ r=rate\to 5.5\%\to \frac{5.5}{100}\dotfill &0.055\\ n= \begin{array}{llll} \textit{times it compounds per year}\\ \textit{annually, thus once} \end{array}\dotfill &1\\ t=years\dotfill &4 \end{cases} \\\\\\ A=4000\left(1+\frac{0.055}{1}\right)^{1\cdot 4}\implies A=4000(1.055)^4\implies A\approx 4955.2986$
