I need help!! It’s proving trapezoids theorems

sweet [91]

Because ABCD is an isosceles trapezoid, the angles A and D are congruent.

BA and CD are congruent (given) and AD is congruent to itself (reflexive property).

Then triangles BAD and CDA form a pair of SAS triangles, so they are congruent.

BD and CA are corresponding parts in those triangles, so they are congruent (CPCTC).

1000 was invested at 5.5% interest, compounded annually. After sometime the amount had grown to 1550. How long was the money inv

scZoUnD [109]

compound interest equation for annually compounded

$A=P(1+r)^t$

A=final amount

P=principal

r=rate in decimal

t=time in years

given that

A=1550

P=1000

r=5.5%=0.055

find t

$1550=1000(1+0.055)^t$

divide both sides by 1000

$1.55=1.055^t$

take ln of both sides

$ln(1.55)=ln(1.055^t)$

use ln rule $ln(a^b)=b(ln(a))$

$ln(1.55)=t(ln(1.055))$

divide both sides by ln(1.055)

$\frac{ln(1.55)}{ln(1.055)}=t$

using a calculator, we get that t=8.18544 yrs

so about 8.2yrs

Margie needs to know the square footage for the first floor of the condo her client wants to make an offer on. The kitchen is 10

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

D. 850 square foot

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a space is the length

multiply by the width

The area for the kitchen, dining, office and sunroom will be calculated independently and added together.

Note the word "and the office and sunroom are each 10 feet by 10 feet"

Kitchen area = 10 ft x 15ft= 150sqft

Living/Dining area = 20ftx25ft= 500sqft

Sunroom = 10ftx10ft= 100sqft

Office= 10ftx10ft=100sqft

Therefore total surface area is the cumulative of the 4 areas

150sqft+500sqft+100sqft+100sqft= 850sqft

Vince bought 6 boxes of worms to use as bait while fishing with his friends. If each person uses exactly 3/8 of a box of worms,

tia_tia [17]

We are given the following information:

each person uses 3/8 a box

there are 6 boxes

Because each box is $\frac{8}{8}$ , and there are 6 boxes, we know that 1 person is $\frac{3}{8*6}$ , or $\frac{3}{48}$ .

In order to find how many people can use the 6 boxes, we can divide it by 3 (for each use):

48 / 3 = 16

Therefore, 16 people can share the worms.

Hope this helps! :)
