The triangles ABD, ADC and ABC are similar (AA stands for "angle, angle" and means that the triangles have two of their angles equal).

If two triangles have two of their angles equal, the triangles are similar.

Therefore the sides of triangles are in proportion.


\dfrac{c}{16}=\dfrac{9}{c}


cross multiply


c\cdot c=16\cdot9\\\\c^2=144\to c=\sqrt{144}\\\\c=12


\dfrac{a}{9+16}=\dfrac{16}{a}


cross multiply


a\cdot a=25\cdot16\\\\a^2=400\to a=\sqrt{400}\to a=20


The length of side b we can be calculated using the Pythagorean theorem:


b^2+20^2=(9+16)^2\\\\b^2+400=25^2\\\\b^2+400=625\ \ \ |-400\\\\b^2=225\to b=\sqrt{225}\to b=15


Answer:

a = 20; b = 15; c = 12

The three missing lengths are the left hypotenuse, x, the middle altitude, y, and the right hypotenuse, z.


9/y = y/16


y^2 = 9 * 16


y^2 = 144


y = 12


9^2 + 12^2 = x^2


x^2 = 225


x = 15


12^2 + 16^2 = z^2


z^2 = 400


z = 20


From left to right, the sides measure 15, 12, and 20 units.

Find the balance at the end of 4 years if $10,000 is deposited at a rate of 1.5% simple interest.
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

Principal amount (P) = $10,000

Rate (R) = 1.5%

Time (T) = 4 years

Simple interest, I = P X R X T / 100

= 10000 X 1.5 X 4 /100

= 60000 / 100

= $600

Therefore, Balance = P + I

= 10000 + 600

= $10600
