A right triangle has legs of lengths 9 cm and 12 cm. calculate the length of the hypotenuse?

just olya [345]

Let the legs of the triangle be a and b, and the hypotenuse c.

Your first instinct might tell you to use the Pythagorean theorem to go about solving this because $c= \sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}}$ . This works, but it is slow.

The fastest way to solve this is to recognize that the right triangle is a special triangle where the ratio of the sides are 3:4:5. This means that if the legs are 9 and 12, then the hypotenuse is 15 because 3*3 is 9, 3*4 is 12, and 3*5 is 15.

Three friends Steve, Jake and Jodie shared a pizza. Steve ate 2/5 of the pizza and Jake ate 1/4

nlexa [21]

Note that they together ate all of the pizza.
Therefore the total fractions they ate should add up to 1.

By letting the fraction Jodie ate be x.

x + 2/5 + 1/4 = 1
x = 7/20

The answer is 7/20.

Mai wants to make a scale drawing of her kitchen. Her kitchen is a rectangle with length 6 m and width 2 m. She decides on a sca

BigorU [14]

Answer:

Length of scale = 15 cm

Width of scale = 5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Dimensions of the kitchen of Mai are given as:

Length of kitchen = 6 m

Width of kitchen = 2 m

Scale to be used = 1 to 40

To find:

The drawing with labeling and dimensions of the scale drawing.

Solution:

First of all, let us understand about the concept of scaling.

Scaling is a method to represent big structures on paper.

For this purpose, we decide a scaling factor and draw the big structures on paper by scaling down (making it small) by using a scaling factor.

Here, the scale factor used is 1 to 40.

i.e. 1 unit on scale is equivalent to 40 units on the actual kitchen.

40 units of kitchen = 1 unit of scale

1 unit of kitchen = $\frac{1}{40}$ units of scale

6 m of kitchen = $\frac{1}{40}\times 6\ m = \frac{600}{40}\ cm = 15\ cm$

Length of scale = 15 cm

40 units of kitchen = 1 unit of scale

1 unit of kitchen = $\frac{1}{40}$ units of scale

2 m of kitchen = $\frac{1}{40}\times 2\ m = \frac{200}{40}\ cm = 5\ cm$

Width of scale = 5 cm

Please refer to the attached image as well for representation of given scale.

What initial investment must be made to accumulate $60000 in 17 years if the money is invested in a mutual fund that pays 12% an

mars1129 [50]

$7881.18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the initial Investment be $P_{0}$ . The Interest is compounded on a monthly basis at 12% annual interest rate. After 17 years, the Investment amounts to $60,000.

As the annual interest rate is 12%, the monthly interest rate is 1%.

Since this is a compound interest problem, the total amount can be modeled as follows: $P(t)=P_{0}(1+\frac{i}{100})^{t}$

Here $i$ is the interest rate, i.e $1$ , and t is the number of time periods, i.e $17\textrm{ years x }12\frac{\textrm{months}}{\textrm{year}}$ = $204\textrm{ months}$

$60,000=P_{0}\textrm{ x }(\frac{101}{100})^{204}$

$P_{0}=7881.18$

∴ Initial Investment = $7881.18
