It should be 12 ft away from the wall. Not 4 ft. You do not just subtract the difference because as you pull it away from the wall, the ladder is mostly moving horizontally with only a small vertical change.

You can use Pythagorean Theorem to find the answer. Think of the ladder as the hypotenuse of a right triangle with the wall and the ground as the legs.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

16^2 + b^2 = 20^2

b^2 = 20^2 - 16^2

b^2 = 144

b = 12 ft

Stephen borrows $10,000 from his uncle at a simple interest rate of 2%. He repays the loan in full after 3 years. How much money
ohaa [14]

The total amount of money that Stephen would pay his uncle is equal to $10,600.

<h3>How to calculate simple interest.</h3>

Mathematically, simple interest is calculated by using this formula:

I = PRT

<u>Where:</u>

  • I is the simple interest.
  • P is the principal.
  • R is the interest rate.
  • T is the time measured in years.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

Interest rate = 2% = 0.02.

Principal = $10,000.

Time = 3 years.

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

I = 10000 × 0.02 × 3

I = $600.

Amount of balance;

A = I + P

A = 600 + 10,000

A = $10,600.

ABC is a right-angled triangle. Calculate the length of AB. Give your answer correct to 2 decimal places.
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

A = 53 degrees

B = 90 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Every Triangle has 180 degrees

B is 90 degrees because it has a 90 degrees symbol so we know that it is 90 degrees

C is already said as 37 degrees

90 + 37 = 127

So 180 - 127 = 53

Therefore A = 53

Hope this helped
