Let x represent the length of the shorter leg.

Longer leg: 5x +19
Hypotenuse: 5x +20

Pythagorean theorem:
.. x^2 +(5x +19)^2 = (5x +20)^2
.. x^2 +25x^2 +190x +19^2 = 25x^2 +200x +20^2 . . . . . . eliminate parentheses
.. x^2 -10x -39 = 0
.. (x -13)(x +3) = 0
.. x = 13 . . . . . . . . . . leg lengths must be positive

The side length of the triangle are 13, 84, 85 feet.

Harrison walked a total of 14 km because the first rectangle has a perimeter of 6 km and the second has a perimeter of 8 km. Harrison’s brother walked a total of 12 km since that was the perimeter of the 5*1. 14-12 is 2 so there is a 2 km difference.

Answer:

74

Step-by-step explanation:

Say that arc JL going through M is arc E and JL going the other way is arc D

For the angle formed by two tangents, K=(1/2)(E-D)

64=E-D

Furthermore, angle K and central angle JCL (facing toward K) are supplementary, so 180-K=JCL=180-32=148

Thus, as the angles around angle C add up to 360, angle JCL (facing toward M) is 360-148=32+180=212

E is then 212

64=212-D

212-64=D=148

Thus, as JML is an inscribed angle, M=1/2(D)=1/2(148)=74

How much more interest will Maria receive if she invests $1,000 for one year at x percent annual interest, compounded semiannual
notka56 [123]

Answer:

  $0.025x² . . . where x is a number of percentage points

Step-by-step explanation:

The multiplier for semi-annual compounding will be ...

  (1 + x/2)² = 1 + x + x²/4

The multiplier for annual compounding will be ...

  1 + x

The multiplier for semiannual compounding is greater by ...

  (1 + x + x²/4) - (1 + x) = x²/4

Maria's interest will be greater by $1000×(x²/4) = $250x², where x is a decimal fraction.

If x is a percent value, as in x = 6 when x percent = 6%, then the difference amount is ...

  $250·(x/100)² = $0.025x² . . . where x is a number of percentage points

_____

<u>Example</u>:

For x percent = 6%, the difference in interest earned on $1000 for one year is $0.025×6² = $0.90.
