Answer:

20 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle.

The square on the hypotenuse h is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is

h² = 12² + 16² = 144 + 256 = 400 ( take the square root of both sides )

h = \sqrt{400} = 20

Triangle XYZ was dilated by a scale factor of 2 to create triangle ACB and cos ∠X = 2 and 5 tenths over 5 and 59 hundredths.
Maru [420]

Based on the above, the Triangle XYZ and ACB are known to be similar triangles since tanX = tanA = 5 over 2 and 5 tenths;

Hence:

  • AC = 2 x  XY
  • CB = 2  x YZ

<h3>What is the triangle about?</h3>

From the question given; Triangle XYZ is known to have been dilated by a scale factor of 2 to form a type of triangle known as triangle  ACB, So therefore, XYZ and ACB are known to be the same or similar triangles.

Since Angles Y and C are known to both measure 90 degrees, and angles A and X are said to be congruent. Therefore:

tanX = tanA = 5 over 2 and 5 tenths

AC = 2  x  XY

CB = 2  x  YZ

For part B:

cosX=Base/Hypotenuse

cos A=AC/AB

AC =  2.05

AB = 5.59

Therefore, Based on the above, the Triangle XYZ and ACB are known to be similar triangles since tanX = tanA = 5 over 2 and 5 tenths;

Hence:

  • AC = 2 x  XY
  • CB = 2  x YZ

You deposit $5000 in an account earning 7.5% simple interest . How long will it take for the balance of the account to be $6500
GREYUIT [131]
Since this is a problem of simple interest, then the interest earned will be based always on the principal amount which is 5000. So assuming that, lets also assume that the duration to get interest will be in years since that is the most commonly used duration anyway. So first, let's multiply 5000 with 0.075 to get the interest for the first year. So we will have 375. This means that we will be getting 375 interest every year. We can do trial an error method to get the number of years that will yield us to 6500. Through that, I was able to get 4 years. So 4 times 375 equals  1500 plus the original balance of 5000. It will take 4 years before your balance reaches 6500
