Answer:

the other leg of the right triangle is, 12 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras theorem;

\text{Hypotenuse side}^2 = \text{Shorter side}^2 +\text{Longer side}^2

As per the statement:

The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 15 cm, and the shorter leg is 9 cm

⇒Hypotenuse side = 15 cm and shorter leg = 9 cm

Let x be the other or longer side

Substitute these in above formula we have;

15^2 = 9^2+ x^2

⇒225 = 81 +x^2

Subtract 81 from both sides we have;

144 = x^2

⇒x = \sqrt{144} = 12 cm

therefore, the other leg of the right triangle is, 12 cm

12 cm, use the pythagorean theorem: a^2+b^2=c^2
9^2+b^2=15^2
81+b^2=225
b^2=144
b=12
12 cm

Question 1.
Step 1. Add the total cost of purchasing the luxury items:
TotalCost=35.95+34.65+15.30+6.99+42.96=135.85
You will spend $135.85 purchasing the luxury items.

Step 2. Add the total cost of purchasing the name brand items:
TotalCost=19.95+15.98+9.40+4.99+29.75=80.07
You will spend $80.07 purchasing the name brand items.

Step 3. Subtract the total cost of purchasing the name brand items from the total cost of purchasing the luxury items:
135.85-80.07=55.78

Answer to the original question:
We can conclude that you will spend $55.78 more by purchasing the luxury items.

Question 2:

Part 1. 
To find the how many months will take to pay the card debt, we are going to use the credit card equation: N=- \frac{1}{30}* \frac{ln(1+ \frac{b}{p}*(1+ \frac{r}{365})^{30}))  }{ln(1+ \frac{r}{365}) }
where
N is the months to pay the card
b is the balance 
p is the monthly payment 
r is the interest rate in decimal form 

We know from our problem that the balance of the credit card is $1,367.90 and the monthly payment is $400.00, so b=1367.90 and p=400. To find convert the interest rate to decimal form, we are going to divide the rate by 100% 
r= \frac{9.5}{100}=0.095.
Now that we have all we need, lets replace the values in our credit card equation: 
N=- \frac{1}{30}* \frac{ln(1+ \frac{b}{p}*(1+ \frac{r}{365})^{30})) }{ln(1+ \frac{r}{365}) }
N=- \frac{1}{30}* \frac{ln(1+ \frac{1367.90}{400}*(1+ \frac{0.095}{365})^{30})) }{ln(1+ \frac{0.095}{365}) }
N=3.4799

It will take you 3.5 months according to our calculation, but since you pay $400 each month on the due date, we can conclude that it will take you 4 months to pay off the card.

Part 2. To calculate the total amount paid including the interest, we just need to multiply the monthly payment by the number of payments.
We know from our problem that the monthly payment is $400. We also know from our previous calculations that the number of payments is 4, so lets multiply both quantities:
400*4=1600

We can conclude that the total amount paid including interest is $1,600

-7t + 7t = -3 + 3

0 = 0

if there is same number on both side it have infinitely many solution.

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

A water faucet is turned 1/7 to the right and then 3/4 to the right again.

=> In total, that water faucet turned 1/7 + 3/4 = 4/28 + 21/28 = 25/28 to the right.

Hope this helps!
