It's Pythagorean Theorem, 8^2 + b^2 = 24^2

576 - 64 = b^2
\sqrt{512}  = { b}
22.6 = b
rounded to nearest tenth of a foot.

Alex invests $2,000 in a company's stock. After a year, the value of Alex's stock has increased to $2,500. What rate of return h
Kay [80]

The rate of interest is 25%

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Principal, P = $2,000

Amount, A = $2500

Time, t = 1 year

Rate of Interest, r = ?

We know:

Amount = P(1+\frac{r}{100})^t

On substituting the value we get:

2500 = 2000 (1 + \frac{r}{100})^1\\ \\\frac{25}{20}= (1+\frac{r}{100})\\

\frac{5}{20} = \frac{r}{100}\\  \\r = \frac{100 X 5}{20} \\\\r = 25

Therefore, the rate of interest is 25%

Find the exact values of cos 3 pi/4 radians sin 3 pi/4 radians HELP!
bixtya [17]
In degrees: 3π/4 radians = 135°
Angle of x=135° is in the 2nd Quadrant and has negative cos x values and positive sin x values.
cos 135° = cos ( 90° + 45°)= - sin 45° =- \frac{ \sqrt{2} }{2}
sin 135° = sin ( 90° + 45° ) = cos 45° =\frac{ \sqrt{2} }{2}. You can also see the graph in the attachment.
