The ladder, wall and floor form a right triangle, The angle where the wall and floor meets should be 90 degrees. We know the ladder and the ground makes an angle of 45 degrees, so the last angle must also be 45 degrees since all inner angles of a triangle add to 180.
In this case, we are looking for the hypotenuse. The question tells us the distance of one leg, 7 ft. Since the angle for the ladder and the wall is also 45 degrees, the second leg must also be 7 ft.
Plug this into the pythagorean theorem (a^2+b^2=c^2) where c is the hypotenuse.
49+49=c^2
98=c^2
c=approx 9.899
The final answer is about 9.899 ft

Mark takes a bank loan of $3,600 to start up a business at an annual interest rate of 8%. How much will he have to repay in 16 m
Dimas [21]

Answer:

  A.  $3,984

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of interest is computed from ...

  I = Prt

For the given values, the interest is ...

 I = $3600×0.08×(16/12) = $384

Then the total amount that needs to be repaid is ...

  Principal + Interest = $3600 +384 = $3,984

_____

The time period is 16 months, so is 16/12 years.

The time periods of the interest rate and "t" in the formula must match. If the interest rate is an annual rate, then "t" is in years. If the interest rate is a monthly rate, then "t" is the number of months.
