Answer:

a) Height = OC = 13.3cm

b) Perimeter = 48.4cm

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Given:

ODC is a right angle triangle and

ABCD is part of it.

AB = 6 cm

CD = 15 cm

BC = 8 cm

∠BCD = 90 degrees

AB is parallel to DC

Find attached the diagram obtained from the given information.

From the diagram, ∆OAB is similar to ∆ODC.

∠OBA = ∠OCD = 90 degrees

To find the height, we would apply the similar triangles theorem.

The ratio of corresponding sides are equal and the angles are congruent.

OB/BA = OC/CD

OC = OB+BC = OB+8

OB/6 = (OB+8)/15

15OB = 6(OB+8)

15OB = 6OB + 48

9OB = 48

OB = 48/9 = 16/3

OC = 16/3 + 8

OC = 13⅓ cm = 13.3cm

Height = OC = 13.3cm

b) To get perimeter, we have to first determine OD (the hypotenuse of ∆OCD) as it is a right angled triangle

Using Pythagoras theorem

Hypotenuse ² = opposite ² + adjacent ²

OD² = OC² + CD²

OD² = (13⅓)² + 15²

OD² = 1600/9 + 225 = 3625/9

OD = √(3625/9)

OD = 20.1

Perimeter of ∆ODC= OC + CD + OD

= 13.3 + 15 + 20.1

Perimeter = 48.4cm

The number of DVDs sold at a store in a month was 925 and the number of DVDs sold decreased by 12 per month. The number of Blu-r
sasho [114]

Answer:

  • See below

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>DVDs</u>

  • d = 925 - 12t

<u>Blu-rays</u>

  • d = 507 + 26t

<u>Solve the system:</u>

  • 925 - 12t = 507 + 26t
  • 26t + 12t = 925 - 507
  • 38t = 418
  • t = 418/38
  • t = 11

<u>Number of disks sold in 11 months:</u>

  • 925 - 12*38 = 469

There will be 469 DVDs and Blu-Ray discs sold per month in 11 months

Martha invested a principal amount of $15,000 into a savings account that earns simple interest at a rate of 4.5% per year. How
lidiya [134]

Option A

The simple interest earned over 6 years is $ 4050

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Martha invested a principal amount of $15,000 into a savings account that earns simple interest at a rate of 4.5% per year

<em><u>The formula for simple interest is given as:</u></em>

Simple\ Interest = \frac{p \times n \times r}{100}

Where, "p" is the principal and "n" is the number of years and "r" is the rate of interest

From given,

p = 15000

r = 4.5 %

n = 6 years

<em><u>Substituting the values we get,</u></em>

Simple\ Interest = \frac{15000 \times 4.5 \times 6}{100}\\\\Simple\ Interest = 150 \times 4.5 \times 6\\\\Simple\ Interest = 4050

Thus simple interest earned over 6 years is $ 4050
