Suppose the length of the triangle is x, if the perimeter of the rectangle is 100 ft, the width of the rectangle will be (50-x) ft.
Area of rectangle will be:
A=length*width
A=x(50-x)
A=50x-x^2
at maximum area, dA/dx=0
thus
dA/dx=50-2x=0
solving for x we get
2x=50
x=25
thus for maximum area length=25 ft
the size of the width will be
50-x=50-25=25 ft
thus the maximum area will be:
25*25=625 sq. feet

Alice borrowed 16700 from the bank at a simple interest rate of 9% to purchase a used car.At the end of the loan,she had paid a
BigorU [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Alice borrowed 16700 from the bank at a simple interest rate of 9% to purchase a used car. It means that the interest is not compounded. Simple interest is usually expressed per annum. The formula for simple is

I = PRT/100

Where

I = interest

P = principal(amount borrowed from the bank)

R = 9% ( rate at which the interest is charged

T = number of years

At the end of the loan,she had paid a total of 24215. This means that the interest + the principal = 24215

Therefore,

The interest = 24215 - 16700 = 7515

Therefore

7517 = (16700 × 9 × t)/100

751700 = 150300t

T = 751700/150300

T = 5 years

Converting 5 years to months,

1 year 12 months

5 months = 12 × 5 = 60 months
