Answer:

a = 7, b = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is base * height. Here, the area of PQRS can be written as: <em>A = a * (9 + b)</em>, where <em>a</em> is the unknown base and <em>9 + b</em> is the unknown height. We set this equal to 84 because that's what's given:

a(9 + b) = 84 = 9a + ab (I just distributed)

Now, we can write the area of PXYS as: <em>a * b</em>, where <em>a</em> is the unknown base and <em>b </em>is the unknown height. (Note that we know <em>a</em> is also the base of PXYS because PQRS is a rectangle and XY is parallel to QR; thus XY = QR = <em>a</em>). We set this equal to 21 because that's the area given:

ab = 21

Now, we can just plug in this value to our first equation:

9a + ab = 9a + 21 = 84

Solving for a, we get a = 7. We plug this back into ab = 21 and find that b = 3.

Thus, our answer is: a = 7, b = 3

Answer:

a = 7 cm , b = 3 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

PXYS: a × b = 21

ab = 21

PQRS: a × (b + 9) = 84

ab + 9a = 84

21 + 9a = 84

9a = 63

a = 7

7b = 21

b = 3

A triangle has sides with lengths of 7 millimeters, 14 millimeters, and 15 millimeters. Is it a right triangle
Harman [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Property of a right triangle,

(Hypotenuse)² = (leg 1)² + (leg 2)²

If the length of sides of the given triangle are 7mm, 14mm and 15mm.

(15)² = (7)² + (14)²

225 = 49 + 196

225 = 245

False

Therefore, the given triangle is not a right triangle.

Merle Fonda opened a new savings account. She deposited $40,000 at 10% compounded semiannually. At the start of the fourth year,
IrinaVladis [17]
Use compound interest formula  F=P(1+i)^n twice, one for each deposit and sum the two results.

For the P=$40,000 deposit,
i=10%/2=5%  (semi-annual)
number of periods (6 months), n = 6*2 = 12
Future value (at end of year 6),
F = P(1+i)^n = 40,000(1+0.05)^12 = $71834.253

For the P=20000, deposited at the START of the fourth year, which is the same as the end of the third year.
i=5% (semi-annual
n=2*(6-3), n = 6 
Future value (at end of year 6)
F=P(1+i)^n = 20000(1+0.05)^6 = 26801.913

Total amount after 6 years
= 71834.253 + 26801.913
=98636.17   (to the nearest cent.)
