Answer:
I could really use some help on a question that I am struggling with. Can you help? Here it is...
Step-by-step explanation:
What is the interest on $3,500 borrowed for two years at 2.5% interest?
To find the hypotenuse of a right triangle, you must use a^2 + b^2 = c^2
* keep in mind the hypotenuse MUST be larger than the legs.
The Pythagorean Theorem comes from making 2 squares from the lengths of each leg (that is why it is a^2 and b^2). The hypotenuse must be equal to the area of the two squares created.
Both triangles area:
4.2 x 8.2 = 34.44
you don’t need to divide by two cause there’s two triangles anyways.
also, you get 8.2 by subtracting the total length by the top length. (13.5-5.3)
rectangle:
4.2 x 5.3 = 22.26
the total area is 56.7cm squared
