Answer:
April took out a loan of $600 and paid it back with simple interest of $60 after 5 years. The formula to calculate interest is given the principal and the time and the interest rate is . For this problem we have to find the interest rate given . To archive that , we can just solve the equation making the interest rate the subject of the formula as shown below,
I= Prt
=> r= I/Pt
=> r= 60/600x5 = 1/50
The interest rate is 1/50 or 0.02 as a decimal. The interest rate is 2% as a percentage.

Step 
<u>Find the length of the side MN</u>
we know that
Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

Solve for MN

in this problem

Substitute in the formula above



Step 
<u>Find the value of cos (M)</u>
we know that
in the right triangle MNL


Substitute



therefore
The answer is
The value of cos(M) is equal to 
The answer is 3: 3+5+8=5+8+3
