Area = (1/2)bh   
h = b-4

(1/2)b(b-4) = 48
b(b-4) = 48 : (1/2)
b² - 4b = 96
b² - 4b - 96 = 0
D = (-4)² - 4·(-96) = 16 + 384 = 400 = 20²
b₁ = (4-20)/2 = -8     ∅
b₂ = (4+20)/2 = 12

The length of the base = 12 m

Use the formula for interest P=750 r=7% Y=25 A=?
Over [174]

Answer:

2062.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Interest = (Principle x rate x time)/100

Amount = Principle + interest

Principle = 750

Rate = 7%

Time = 25 years

(750 x 7 x 25)/100

= 131250/100

=1312.50

Principle = 750

Interest = 1312.50

Amount = 750 + 1312.50

Amount = 2062.50
