For the answer to the question above asking to p<span>rove the Pythagorean Theorem using similar triangles. The Pythagorean Theorem states that in a right triangle,
</span>A right triangle consists of two sides called the legs and one side called the hypotenuse (c²) . The hypotenuse (c²)<span> is the longest side and is opposite the right angle.
</span>⇒ α² + β² = c²
<span>
"</span>In any right triangle ( 90° angle) <span>, the sum of the squared lengths of the two legs is equal to the squared length of the hypotenuse."
</span>
For example: Find the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle if the lengths of the other two sides are 3 inches and 4 inches.
c2 = a2+ b2
c2 = 32+ 42
c2 = 9+16
c2 = 15
c = sqrt25
c=5

Answer:
B. 5 and 1/4 percent
Step-by-step explanation:
Step one:
given
principal= $2460
time= 3 and 1/2 years= 3.5 years
SI= $452
Required
The rate
Step two:
we know that
SI= PRT/100
substituting our data we have
452= 2460*R*3.5/100
452=8610R/100
cross multiply
452*100= 8610R
divide both sides by 8610
45200/8610= R
R= 5.25%
R= 5 and 1/4 percent
