55 deg 30 Minutes = 55.5 degrees 

sin = opp/hyp 

sin(55.5) = altitude/10 

Altitude = 10*sin(55.5) 

Altitude = 10 * sin(55.5) = 8.241261886 

Rounded to nearest 10th 

Altitude = 8.2 cm 

b. for base use Low of Cosines 

Let C = base 

Side A and B = length 10 Cm 

c^2 = 2*a^2 -2a^2*cos(<C) 

<C = 180 - 2*55.5 = 180 -111 = 69 degrees 

c = sqrt ( 2a^2 - 2a^2*cos(<C) 

c = sqrt ( 2*100- 200*cos(69)) 

c = sqrt (200 - 200*cos(69) ) = 11.32812474 



Answer base 
c = 11.3 cms 

c. 
Area = (1/2)*b * h 
Area = (1/2)*(answer a * answer b) 
Area = (1/2)* 11.32812474* 8.241261886 = 46.67902132 

Area = 46.7 (rounded) 

Area = ( 1/2) * a*b*sin(<C) = (1/2)*10*10*sin(69) = 
Area = 50* sin(69) = 46.67902132 
Area = 46.7 (rounded)</span>

A loan of P500,000 was signed by Liza who promised to pay it at the beginning of each month for 5 years. If money is worth 12% c
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

3,604,389

Step-by-step explanation:

Monthly payment P = \frac{a}{[(1+r)^{n} - 1] / [r(1+r)^{n}] }

where a = total loan amount, r = periodic rate, n = number of payment periods

a = 500,000 ; r = 0.12 ; n = (5 x 12) = 60 months

P = \frac{500000}{[(1+0.12)^{60} - 1] / [0.12 (1+0.12)^{60} ] }

P = \frac{500000}{(896.597) / (107.712)}

p = 60,073.151

Total amount paid = 60073.151 x 60 = 3,604,389

The length of the longer leg of a right triangle is 6 cm more than twice the length of the shorter leg. The length of the hypote
iragen [17]
Let x = the shorter leg
2x + 6 is the longer leg
2x + 9 is the hypotenuse

We now do the Pythagorean Theorem of a^{2}+b^{2} = c^{2}

x^{2} +  (2x+6)^{2} =  (2x+9)^{2}

Multiply out to get:

x^{2} +4 x^{2} +24x+36=4 x^{2} +36x+81

The 4 x^{2} will cancel out each other when you combine like terms to get all the terms on one side of the equal sign. 

Combine like terms with the rest to end with x^{2} -12x-45=0

Factor this to get (x-15)(x+3) = 0 then set each factor equal to zero. 

You end up with two solutions, x = 15 and x = - 3 HOWEVER distance cannot be measure in negatives so that answer will not work so x = 15. Now plug into our given information.

The short leg is 15 cm long.
The longer leg of 2(15) + 6 = 36 cm long
The hypotenuse of 2(15) + 9 = 39 cm long. 

You can check your answers by plugging them into the Pythagorean Theorem again.
