Problem 4:

Mathematics

Answer:

12cm and 16cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypotenuse of the right angle triangle  = 20cm

 let the other two sides be x and y;

 The difference;

                x  = y - 4

Problem:

Find x and y;

Solution:

According to the pythagoras theorem;

    x² + y² = 20²  ------ i

       x² + y² = 400 ----- i

and  x - y = 4 ---- ii

So;   x = 4 + y

Now input the value into equation (i);

  (y + 4)² + y² = 400

   (y+4)(y+4) + y² = 400

    y² + y² + 4y + 4y + 16 = 400

    2y² + 8y + 16 = 400

    2y² + 8y + 16 -400 = 0

   2y² + 8y - 384 = 0;

      y² + 4y - 192 = 0

Factorize the equation;

  y² + 16y - 12y - 192 = 0

  y(y + 16) - 12(y + 16) = 0

  (y-12)(y + 16) = 0

     y -12 = 0 or y+ 16 = 0

     y = 12 or -16

It is not realistic for the length of a body to be a negative value, so y= 12;

   since;

    x - y = 4,

    x = 4 + 12

    x = 16

A UCF graduate has 3 bank overdrafts per year, and the bank charges $35 per overdraft. The bank pays the graduate 1% interest pe
Elena L [17]

Answer:

$33

Step-by-step explanation:

First we calculate the cost of the overdrafts:

3 overdrafts * $35 = $105

Then, if he maintains an average monthly balance of $600, we can calculate = $600*12 months = $7200 (average yearly balance). And the bank pays him 1% interest per annum:

$7200 * 1% = $72 (this is what the bank pays the graduate per year)

So if the bank charges him $105 and pays him $72, then the net annual cost is = $105-$72= $33

Explain how to do this please!
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

4 children per counselor

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the question is asking children per counselor, divide the children/counselor. Check all of the rows by dividing the children by counselor to make sure the constant of proportionality is correct. If you divide correctly, the constant of proportionality you get is 4.

Hope it helps!
