In the problem, two legs measurement were given such as:
Leg 1 = 12 inches
Leg 2 = 15 inches

We need to solve for the third leg. Since it is a right triangle, we can use Pythagorean theorem in solving the missing leg:
c²=b²+a²

When we assume that the third leg is the "c", we can for the value such as:
c² = 12²+15²
c=19.21

When we assume that the third is either "a" or "b":
15² =a² + 12²
a=9

Then, the possible measurement of the third leg is 9 or 19.21.
The difference between the two possible answer is shown below:
Difference = 19.21 -9 = 10.21
Difference =10.21

Answer:

First you would take 5% of 4000. Add that to 6.5% of 6000. And then add that to 11% 3560(because that's the amount he earns over 10000). You should end up with $981.6

Last question and then I’ll take care of the rest on my own ^^^^
Bond [772]

Answer:

  (c)  5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The applicable rules of exponents are ...

  (a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)

  (a^b)/(a^c) = a^(b-c)

  a^-b = 1/a^b

__

Using these rules, we can simplify the expression as follows:

  (5^-3)(2^2)(5^6)/((2^3)(5^2)) = (5^(-3+6-2))(2^(2-3)) = (5^1)(2^-1)

  = 5/2

At the beginning of the new interest period, all the accrued interest is added to the principal which forms a new principle figure that the interest is then counted on.
