We have similar triangles RST ,TSR and TRQ.The triangles are similar to each other .

Similar triangles have sides in proportion.

In similar triangles TQR and TRS:

\frac{TR}{ST} =\frac{TQ}{TR}

Or,

\frac{x}{9} =\frac{16}{x}

Cross multiplying

x^{2}=16(9)

x^{2}=144

Taking root

x=12.

∵ ΔSRQ is a right triangle
and RT⊥SQ
∴ x² = ST * TQ
∴ x² = 9 *16 = 144

∴ x = √144 = 12

An actor invests some money at 7%, and $24000 more than four times the amount at 8%. The total annual interest earned from the i
natita [175]

Answer:

  • $70,000 at 7%
  • $304,000 at 8%

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given</u>:

  Total interest earned on two investments is $29,220.

  An amount is invested at 7%.

  $24,000 more than 4 times that amount is invested at 8%.

<u>Find</u>:

  The amount invested at each rate.

<u>Solution</u>:

  Our strategy will be to define a variable representing the amount invested at 7%, use that variable to write an expression for the amount invested at 8%, then write an equation for the total return on the investments.

Let x represent the amount invested at 7%. Then (24,000+4x) will be the amount invested at 8%. The total interest earned will be ...

  interest on 7% account + interest on 8% account = total interest

  0.07x + 0.08(24000+4x) = 29220

  0.39x + 1920 = 29220 . . . . . . . . . . . simplify

  0.39x = 27300 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 1920

  x = 27300/0.39 = 70000 . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x

  24,000 +4x = 24,000 +280,000 = 304,000 . . . . amount invested at 8%

He invested $70,000 at 7% and $304,000 at 8%.

<u><em>Check</em></u>

The answer must satisfy ...

  7% interest + 8% interest = 29,220

  0.07×70,000 +0.08×304,000 = 4,900 +24,320 = 29,220 . . . . as required
