Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A right angle triangle is formed.

The diagonal or shortcut that he found represents the hypotenuse of each right angle triangle. The number of blocks he used to walk due due east and north represents the adjacent and opposite sides of the right angle triangle. To determine the number of blocks he would have to walk when he takes the shortcut,d, we would apply Pythagoras theorem which is expressed as

Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side²

Therefore

d² = 7² + 3²

d² = 49 + 9 = 58

d = √58

d = 7.6 blocks

The normal distance is

3 + 7 = 10 blocks

The number of blocks by which the shortcut is shorter than walking the blocks is

10 - 7.6 = 2.4

Answer:

The answer to your question is 2.4 units shorter.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

3 blocks east and 7 blocks north.

Process

1.- Calculate the distance walking the blocks

     distance = 3 + 7

     distance = 10

2.- Calculate when walking diagonally using the pythagorean theorem

     distance² =  3² + 7²

     distance² = 9 + 49

     distance² = 58

     distance = 7.62

3.- Calculate the difference of distances

     Δd = 10 - 7.62

     Δd = 2.38 units

The triangles are similar. If DE = 24, EF = 42, and AB = 8, find BC
Alik [6]
If triangle abc is similar to def
That means all angles are the same and sides will be multiplied by some factor x. So AB(x)= DE
8x=24
Therefore x =3
Now BC=EF/x
BC=42/3
BC= 14

To prove a similarity of a triangle, we use angles or sides.

In this case we use angles to prove

∠ACB = ∠AED (Corresponding ∠s)
∠AED = ∠FDE (Alternate ∠s)

∠ABC = ∠ADE (Corresponding ∠s)
∠ADE = ∠FED (Alternate ∠s)

∠BAC = ∠EFD (sum of ∠s in a triangle)

Now we know the similarity in the triangles.

But it is necessary to write the similar triangle according to how the question ask.

The question asks " ∆ABC is similar to ∆____. " So we find ∠ABC in the prove.

∠ABC corressponds to ∠FED as stated above.
∴ ∆ABC is similar to ∆FED

Similarly, if the question asks " ∆ACB is similar to ∆____. "
We answer as ∆ACB is similar to ∆FDE.

Answer is ∆ABC is similar to ∆FED.

The interest she would pay is $694.40.

<h3>What is simple interest?</h3>

Simple interest rate is the interest that is paid only on the principal portion of a loan. This means that the debtor does not pays interest on the interest rate already accrued.

<h3>What interest does she pay? </h3>

Simple interest = principal x time x interest rate

$6200 x 4 x 0.028 =  $694.40.
