Answer:
5.4 m
Step-by-step explanation:
The Pythagorean theorem tells you the relationship between the various lengths is ...
cd² = ac² +ad²
cd² = (2.4 m)² + (1.8 m)² = 9.00 m²
cd = √(9.00 m²) = 3.0 m
Since cd = cb and ab = ac+cb, we have ...
ab = 2.4 m + 3.0 m = 5.4 m
_____
You may recognize this as a 3-4-5 right triangle with a scale factor of 0.6. We are asked for the sum of the lengths of the "4" and "5" legs, which is ...
0.6·(4+5) = 5.4
Answer:
$359.42
Step-by-step explanation:
The difference in the investment values can be computed by making use of the formulas for the account balance in each case.
compound interest: A = P(1 +r)^t . . . . interest at rate r compounded annually
simple interst: A = P(1 +rt) . . . . simple interest at rate r
__
The account earning simple interest will have a balance of ...
A = $8000(1 +0.12×3) = $10,880
The account earning compound interest will have a balance of ...
A = $8000(1 +0.12)^3 ≈ $11,239.42
The difference between the two investments is ...
$11,239.42 -10,880 = $359.42
<u>Given</u>:
A rhino runs at a speed of about 28 miles per hour.
We need to determine the speed in feet per second.
<u>Converting miles to feet:</u>
The miles can be converted to feet by multiplying 5280 with 28 miles per hour.
Thus, we have;
Thus, the speed of the rhino in feet per hour is 147840
<u>Converting hours to seconds:</u>
The hours can be converted into seconds by dividing 147840 by 3600 (Because an hour has 60 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in an hour)
Thus, we get;
Rounding off to the nearest whole number, we get;
Therefore, the speed of the rhino is 41 feet per second.
Hence, Option B is the correct answer.
