When two triangles are similar, they're sides are in proportion.
In order to find the unknown side, we first have to find the ratio of the larger triangle to the smaller triangle.
We can use the sides TV and LN to make the proportion.
=
The ratio between the two triangles is 21:6
Now we can solve for the unknown side.
=
Cross multiply:
8 * 21 = 6 * LM
168 = 6LM
Divide both sides by 6:
LM = 28
The unknown side's length is 28 centimeters
Good luck!
Answer:
The value of first coin will be $151.51 more than second coin in 15 years.
Step-by-step explanation:
You have just purchased two coins at a price of $670 each.
You believe that first coin's value will increase at a rate of 7.1% and second coin's value 6.5% per year.
We have to calculate the first coin's value after 15 years by using the formula
Where A = Future value
P = Present value
r = rate of interest
n = time in years
Now we put the values
A = (670)(2.797964)
A = 1874.635622 ≈ $1874.64
Now we will calculate the value of second coin.
A = 670 × 2.571841
A = $1723.13
The difference of the value after 15 years = 1874.64 - 1723.13 = $151.51
The value of first coin will be $151.51 more than second coin in 15 years.
