Pythagoras Theorem is the way in which you can find the missing length of a right angled triangle.
The triangle has three sides, the hypotenuse (which is always the longest), Opposite (which doesn't touch the hypotenuse) and the adjacent (which is between the opposite and the hypotenuse).
Pythagoras is in the form of;
a<em><u /></em>²+b²=c²
However, it can also be written in the form of c²=a²+b²
In order to find the hypotenuse, you will have the length of two sides, for example, these could be 3 and 4.
As 'C' is always the hypotenuse, you have to work out the two other lengths, and you do this by squaring the numbers.
3²=9 and 4²=16.
As you're looking for C, you've got to add these together
9+16=25
As a²+b²=c², this means that the answer for C is the square root of 25.
√25= 5
Hope this has been able to help you :)
Well, I would just reverse it. It seems you just have to reverse the whole problem.
The present value of the loan is R576923.
<h3>What is compound interest ?</h3>
Compound interest is giving the current instalment in terms of the total previous amount.
The formula is given by
A = P(1 + r/100)ⁿ.
Where,
A = Amount, P = Principle, r = rate of interest, n = Time in years.
In case the compound if interest is given every two months that is 6 instalments each year the above given formula will be
A = P{ 1 + (r/6)/100 }⁶ⁿ.
According to the given question
Rate(r) = 7.5%
Time(n) = 6 years
The loan will be paid back in 6 years every second month and it is compounded.
∴ No. of instalments = (12 × 6)/2
= 36.
Now each instalments is of R25000
So, The total amount she has to pay back to his father is
= (25000 × 36)
= R900000.
We know compounding every two months is
A = P(1 + r/100)ⁿ
900000 = P{ 1 + (7.6/6)/100 }³⁶
900000 = P{ 1 + 1.25/100 } ³⁶
900000 = P(1.0125)³⁶
900000 = 1.56P
∴ P = 576923.
