What is the length of EF in the right triangle below?
1 answer:
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangle is right use Pythagoras' identity to find EF
The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides, that is
EF² + DF² = DE² ← substitute values
EF² + 12² = 18², that is
EF² + 144 = 324 ( subtract 144 from both sides )
EF² = 180 ( take the square root of both sides )
EF = → A

Same case as Pablo's, more or less.
a = price for the desktop
b = price for the laptop
we know the laptop is 150 bucks more than the desktop, b = a + 150.
how much is 7% of a? (7/100) * a, 0.07a.
how much is 9.5% of b? (9.5/100) * b, 0.095b.
total interests for the financing add up to 303, 0.07a + 0.095b = 303.
how much was it for the laptop? well b = a + 150.
a = price for the desktop
b = price for the laptop
we know the laptop is 150 bucks more than the desktop, b = a + 150.
how much is 7% of a? (7/100) * a, 0.07a.
how much is 9.5% of b? (9.5/100) * b, 0.095b.
total interests for the financing add up to 303, 0.07a + 0.095b = 303.
how much was it for the laptop? well b = a + 150.
