Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

by pythagoras theorem

(hyp)^2=(leg1)^2+(leg2)^2

the hypotenuse is the side opposite to 90 degree (BC=13)

AC=leg 1 = 12

13^2=12^2 + leg 2^2

169=144+ leg 2^2

leg2 ^2=169-144

leg2^2= 25

leg2= root 25

leg2=5

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing to think about when doing a problem is to look in the angles. BAC is a right angle, but that does not help. The next thing to notice is BA looks roughly about 1/2 the size of AC. That answer makes the most sense so the answer is 5.

An insurance agent receives 16% commission on every premium paid. how much commission is paid on a policy with a premium of $497
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

  $79.63

Step-by-step explanation:

You can figure this by estimating. 16% is a little less than 20%, which is 1/5. $497.69 is almost $500. So, 1/5 of that is almost $100, and a little less than that is about $80. The closest answer choice is $79.63.

__

If you want to figure it exactly, you can do the multiplication ...

  16% of $497.69 = 0.16 × $497.69 = $79.6304 ≈ $79.63
