the hypotenuse of a right leg triangle is 12 centimeters, and the shorter leg is 6 centimeters. Find the length of the other leg

1 answer:

5 0

Well that's quite easy. There is a short cut. So 12 divided by 2 is 4. Then 6 divided by 2 is 3. There is a thing called a Pythagorean Triple. And the first one is 3,4 (which is the missing side) and 5. That is the most commonly used set and so are the number's multiples. Therefore the missing leg's length is 4 centimeters.

At the end of 8 years, Anna paid $400 interest for a loan. If the simple annual interest rate was 4%, how much did Anna borrow?

antiseptic1488 [7]

$1250

Use the formula i = prt

In this case, we don't know P or Principal amount

i = 400

r = .04 *found by diving 4/100*

n = 8

Set formula to solve for P like: P= i/r(n)

P=400/.04(8)

P= 400/.32

P = 1250
