Answer:

B. 642.22 units squared

Step-by-step explanation:

Knowing that QP ║ MN and ∠QLP = ∠MLN, then ΔQLP ~ ΔMLN.

That means corresponding sides and heights have the same ratios.

We know that QP = 25, which corresponds to MN = 34. Also, the height of ΔQLP, LS, corresponds to the height of ΔMLN, LR = LS + SR = LS + 10. Let's say LS = x.

We can now write:

QP / MN = LS / LR

25 / 34 = x / (x + 10)

Cross-multiply:

34 * x = 25 * (x + 10)

34x = 25x + 250

34x - 25x = 250

9x = 250

x = 250/9 ≈ 27.78 units

So, LS = 27.78 units and LR = LS + SR = 27.78 + 10 = 37.78 units.

The area of a triangle is denoted by A = (1/2) * b * h, where b is the base and h is the height.

Here, the base of ΔLMN is MN = 34, and the height is LR = 37.78. Plug these in:

A = (1/2) * b * h

A = (1/2) * 34 * 37.78 ≈ 642.22 units squared

The answer is thus B.

52,908 round to the nearest hundred.

IrinaVladis [17]

The hundredth is the 3rd number after the decimal place (so the 9). Look at the number before it and if it is 5 or above then round it to the next hundredth. In this case it is only a zero so we don't change the 9 just substitute it 0's. Therefore the answer is 52,900.

If you need further help let me know, hope this helped you.

A total of $12,000 is invested in two corporate bonds that pay 7.5% and 9% simple interest. The invest wants an annual interest

nlexa [21]

Answer:

$13,200

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to use the simple interest formula

I = P * r * t

I = Interest accrued

P = Principal amount invested

r = Interest rate you need to divide by 100 to get it in decimal form

t = time, in years if you are given a partial year, divide the months by 12

P = $12,000

r = 7.5% = .075

t = 1

But, because we want I to equal $990 then I is

I = $990

So we ignore our P and instead solve for the P that will give us the desired result.

I = P * r * t

$990 = P * .075 * 1

$990 = P.075 Divide each side by .075

$990/.075 = P.075/.075

$990/.075 = P

$13,200 = P

So, to earn an annual interest income of $990, $13,200 will have to be invested in the 7.5% bond.

In 2002, there were 972 students enrolled at Oakview High School. Since then, the number of students has increased by 1.5% each

Rudiy27

Answer:

$N(t) = 972(1.015)^{t}$

Growth function.

The number of students enrolled in 2014 is 1162.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of students in the school in t years after 2002 can be modeled by the following function:

$N(t) = N(0)(1+r)^{t}$

In which N(0) is the number of students in 2002 and r is the rate of change.

If 1+r>1, the function is a growth function.

If 1-r<1, the function is a decay function.

In 2002, there were 972 students enrolled at Oakview High School.

This means that $N(0) = 972$

Since then, the number of students has increased by 1.5% each year.

Increase, so r is positive. This means that $r = 0.015$

Then

$N(t) = N(0)(1+r)^{t}$

$N(t) = 972(1+0.015)^{t}$

$N(t) = 972(1.015)^{t}$

Growth function.

Find the number of students enrolled in 2014.

2014 is 2014-2002 = 12 years after 2002, so this is N(12).

$N(t) = 972(1.015)^{t}$

$N(12) = 972(1.015)^{12}$

$N(12) = 1162$

The number of students enrolled in 2014 is 1162.

A recipe calls for 2 3/4 cups of milk. if the recipe is tripled, how much milk is needed?

SSSSS [86.1K]

To be tripled means to be multiplied by 3. So multiply 2 3/4 by 3
2 3/4*3=8 1/4
Therefore the amount of milk needed is 8 1/4 cup

If you deposit $12,500 in an account that pays 4.5% interest quarterly, what is the balance after 8 years? How much did the acco

Masja [62]

In order to determine the balance of the account, use the following formula for the amount of money obtained after t years, basen on a compound interest:

$A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

where,

P: principal = $12,500

A: amount earnt after t years = ?

r: interest rate in decimal form = 0.045 (4.5%)

n: times at year for the compund interes = 4 (quaterly)

Replace the previous values of the parameters into the formula for A and simplify:

$\begin{gathered} A=12,500(1+\frac{0.045}{4})^{4\cdot8} \\ A=12,500(1+0.01125)^{32} \\ A=12,500(1.01125)^{32} \\ A=12,500(1.430451402) \\ A\approx17,880.64 \end{gathered}$

Hence, the balance after 8 years is approximately $17,880.64 in the account.

The interest earnt by the account is given by the difference between the previous result and the principal invesment:

I = $17,880.64 - $12,500 = $5,380.64

Hence, the interest earnt is $5,380.64
