Answer:

It is 27.35 ft up the house

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypotenuse of the right triangle is 28  and the base is 6

We can use the pythagorean theorem to find how high it is

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

6^2 + b^2 = 28^2

36 + b^2 = 784

Subtract 36 from each side

36-36 + b^2 = 784-36

b^2 = 748

Take the square root of each side

b =sqrt(748)

b =27.34958866

It is 27.35 ft up the house

Answer: 14.8
Explanation: You’re trying to find the hypotenuse using the two legs that you have. The formula to find hypotenuse is a^2+b^2=c^2. You are trying to find c^2. So it would be 10^2+11^2=c^2. 10^2 is 100 and 11^2 is 121 and 100+121 is 221. Then you would square root 221 and get 14.8 for the hypotenuse.

You borrow $500 to buy a computer. The simple interest rate is 15%. You pay off the loan after 4 years. How much do you pay for
GREYUIT [131]
Its $800 because to find interest u can use the formula I=PRT p is principal which is 500 times r which is rate-15/100(=15%) times 4

so the interest is 500×15/100×4=300
then u add 300 to 500 because the interest adds more money to the loan
