<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: D. 5.7 units.

<h2>Why?</h2>

Since the diagonals meet to form four right triangles, we can use the following the Pythagorean Theorem.

We can see that the diagonals are equal, also, the other two sides of the triangle are also equal(x), it means that the other two angles are also equal to 45°.

Remember, the sum of the internal angles of a triangle are also equal to 180°.

We can use the following equation:

sin(\alpha)=\frac{OppositeSide}{Hypotenuse}

Where:

\alpha=45\\OppositeSide=X\\Hypotenuse=8Units

So, by substituting we have:

sin(45)=\frac{x}{8Units}\\\\x=sin(45)*8Units=0.71*8=5.68Units

And,

5.68units rounded to the nearest tenth are equal to 5.7units

Hence, the correct option is D. 5.7 units.

Answer:

The correct answer is option D. 5.7 units

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given a square,  Its diagonals meet to form four right angles

<u>To find the value of x</u>

From the figure we can see that the triangle with sides x, x, 8 have angles 45°,45° and 90°

If the angles are 45°,45° and 90° then sides are in the ratio 1 : 1 : √2

Here x : x : 8 = 1 : 1 : √2

Therefore x = 8√2 = 8/1.414 = 5.6577 ≈ 5.7 units

Therefore the correct answer is option D  5.7 units

Mr. Noel borrowed money from his cousin at a rate of 10% simple interest. After 1 year, $440
Alborosie

Answer:

<h2>$400</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula for calculating the simple interest expressed as;

Simple Interest = Principal * rate * time/100

Note that the principal is the amount he originally borrowed

I = PRT/100 ............ 1

Amount paid off A = Principal+Interest

A = P+I ............ 2

From equation 2; I = A-P......... 3

Substitute equation 3 into 1;

A-P = PRT/100

Given A = $440, R = 10%, Time = 1year

Substitute the given parameters into the resulting equation;

440 - P = P*10*1/100

440-P = 10P/100

440-P = 0.1P

440 = 0.1P+P

440 = 1.1P

Divide through by 1.1;

1.1P/1.1 = 440/1.1

P = $400

<em>Hence the amount Mr Noel originally borrow is $400</em>
