How do i find the perimeter and area?
1 answer:
First, we need to find the base. To do so, we will need to use the Pythagorean Theorem on one of the smaller triangles to solve for its unknown side. Then, we can double the base of the one to find the base of the whole.
Pythagorean Theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2
(12)^2 + b^2 = (16)^2
144 + b^2 = 256
b^2 = 112
b =
b =
total base = 2 x =
Second, we can find the area. The formula for the area of a triangle is A = 1/2 x base x height.
A = 1/2 x x 12
A = x 12
A = units^2
Third, we can find the perimeter. The perimeter is the sum of all of the exterior sides.
P = 16 + 16 +
P = 32 + units
Hope this helps!! :)

She invested $ 50000 at 1.5% rate and $ 90000 at 4% rate.
<u><em>Explanation</em></u>
Total amount of winnings = $ 200000
She first paid income tax on 30% on the winnings. So, the amount paid as income tax dollar.
<u>Remaining amount</u> = $ 200000 - $ 60000 = $ 140000
Suppose, she invested dollar at 1.5% rate.
That means, she invested dollar at 4% rate.
Given that, the total amount of interest earned = $ 4350
So, the equation will be.....
So, amount of investment at 1.5% rate = $ 50000
and amount of investment at 4% rate = $ 140000 - $ 50000 = $ 90000
