Answer:

Length of KS = 25 units and

Length of KP = 17 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: KPST is a trapezoid, KP =ST, MN is a mid segment, h is the height =15

Also it is given that, MN = 20 , h = 15 and PS:KT = 3:7.

  • If two sides of the trapezoid are equal then, it is an isosceles trapezoid.
  • Mid-segment of a trapezoid is a line segment which connects the midpoints of the non-parallel sides.
  • A trapezoid mid segment connects the midpoints of two congruent sides of the trapezoid and is parallel to the pair of parallel sides.
  • Length of the mid segment is the sum of two bases divide by 2

Since, the length of Mid-segment MN = 20.

Also, it is given: PS:KT = 3:7

Let  PS = 3x and KT = 7x respectively.

then;

\frac{PS+KT}{2} = 20

\frac{3x+7x}{2} = 20

\frac{10x}{2} =20

On Simplify, we get;

5x =20

Divide both sides by 5 we get;

x =4

Then:

Length of base PS = 3x = 3(4) = 12 and Length of base KT = 7x = 7(4) = 28.

Now, In triangle PLK

Using Pythagoras theorem to find KP;

It is given here, PL =h =15 and KL= 8 {you can see in the figure as shown below};

KP^2= PL^2 + KL^2

KP^2 = 15^2+8^2 =225 +64 = 289

KP = \sqrt{289}

Simplify:

KP = 17

therefore, the length KP = 17 units

To, construct a line: Join K and S

Now, in triangle KRS

KR = KL +LR = 8 +12 =20 and SR = h= 15

Using Pythagoras theorem in KRS to find KS;

KS^2 = SR^2+KR^2

KS^2 = 15^2 + 20^2 = 225 + 400 = 625

KS = \sqrt{625}

On simplify:

KS = 25

Therefore, the length of KS is, 25 units.

Determine whether the given value is a solution of the equation.
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

84 is a solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out if 84 is a solution or not, we plug in the value and simplify.

  • (84)/14 = 6
  • 6 = 6

Therefore, 84 is a solution.

Gannon has deposited $742 in a savings account that earns interest at a rate of 3.4% compounded monthly. What will the account b
marta [7]
Firstly, solve the effective annual interest (ieff) with the equation,
 
                          ieff = (1 + i/m)^m -1

where i is the interest rate and m is the number of times the interest is compounded in a year. In this problem, m is 12

Substituting the values, 
                            ieff = (1 + 0.034/12)^12 - 1 =0.03453

To solve for the future (F) amount of the present investment (P), 
                                       
                                        F = P x (1 + ieff)^n

where n is number of years.
 
                                        F = ($742) x (1 + 0.03453)^15

Thus, the answer is $1234.76.
