Since the triangle is right angled, we may use pythagoras theorem to find the third side.

Pythagoras theorem :-

KI^2 + JI^2 = KJ^2

substituting the known values in the formula,

x^2 + 3^2 = 5^2

x^2 + 9 = 25

x^2 = 25 - 9

x^2 = 16

x = √16

x = 4

•°• value of x is 4cm

Suzanne is looking at taking out a personal loan. Opportunity Loans is offering her $1600 at 3.45% for 1 year, with interest com

Step-by-step explanation:

So the general formula for compound interest is $A = P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}$ where r is the interest rate, t is the time in years, and n is the amount of compounds per year. So plugging in the values for both equations you'll get

Opportunity Loans:

$A = 1600(1+\frac{0.0345}{12})^{(12)(1)}$

$A = 1600(1.002875)^{12}$

$A \approx 1600(1.035)$

$A = \$1,656.08$

Now to find the interest accrued on this loan you simply subtract 1600 from the A or final amount

$Interest=1656.08-1600\\Interest=56.08$

General Loans:

$A = 1600(1+\frac{0.042}{4})^{(4)(1)}$

$A = 1600(1.0105)^4$

$A \approx 1600(1.042)$

$A = 1,668.27$

To find the interest we do the same thing we did in the previous problem

$interest = 1668.27-1600\\interest=68.27$

Opportunity loans has the least amount of interest after a year

You give tours on the Great Lakes and talk about points of interest. A lighthouse typically has 2 beacons that rotate together—b

tatiyna

Since the beacons rotate together, the angular speed is constant.

From the time you see the first beacon, you have to wait for the lighthouse to make 120°, i.e. 1/3 of a whole turn.

So, if T is the time it takes for the lighthouse to make a whole turn, the interval between the first and the second beacon is T/3.

The interval between the second and third beacon is the amount of time it takes to the lighthouse to make the remaining 2/3 of a turn, so that you'll see the first beacon again. So, this time is 2T/3

So, the ratio is

$\dfrac{2T}{3}\div\dfrac{T}{3}=\dfrac{2T}{3}\cdot\dfrac{3}{T}=2$
