Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a triangle is = 0.5bh
if the height (h) is 4 less than base (b) then h = b - 4
48 = 0.5(b)(b - 4)
48/0.5 = b² - 4b
96 = b² - 4b
b² - 4b - 96 = 0
(b + 8)(b - 12) = 0
b must be either -8 or 12
since a distance can't be negative that means
the base is 12
The interest that Marcos will get is 50000.
<h3>How to calculate the interest?</h3>
The following can be deduced from the information given:
Principal = 50000
Interest rate = 12.5%
Time = 8 years
The simple interest will be:
= (PRT/100)
= (50000 × 12.5 × 8)/100
= 50000
The amount that will be obtained after 8 years will be:
= Principal + Interest
= 50000 + 50000
= 10000
