Annually cumulating interest can be determined by the following formula:
r represents the interest rate as a decimal, and P represents the starting amount of money.
Hello!
Here we are given a composite shape, meaning that we can divide this shape up into ways that we are given formulas to solve for legs and such.
I can see here that this can be divided into a triangle and a rectangle using a horizontal line.
The leg lengths of this triangle would be 9, because it is congruent to the bottom side of the rectangle, and 7, because it is the left side minus the right side.
This would also make a right triangle, meaning we could solve for the hypotenuse utilizing the Pythagorean Theorem.
Which is in simplest radical form.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
a. 12 feet b. 12 feet 0.5 inches c. 8.33 %
Step-by-step explanation:
a. How far out horizontally on the ground will it protrude from the building?
Since the rise to run ratio is 1:12 and the building is 12 inches off the ground, let x be the horizontal distance the ramp protrudes.
So, by ratios rise/run = 1/12 = 12/x
1/12 = 12/x
x = 12 × 12
x = 144 inches
Since 12 inches = 1 foot, 144 inches = 144 × 1 inch = 144 × 1 foot/12 inches = 12 feet
b. How long should the ramp be?
The length of the ramp, L is gotten from Pythagoras' theorem since the ramp is a right-angled triangle with sides 12 inches and 144 inches respectively.
So, L = √(12² + 144²)
= √[12² + (12² × 12²)]
= 12√(1 + 144)
= 12√145
= 12 × 12.042
= 144.5 inches
Since 12 inches = 1 foot, 144.5 inches = 144 × 1 inch + 0.5 inches = 144 × 1 foot/12 inches + 0.5 inches = 12 feet 0.5 inches
c. What percent grade is the ramp?
The percentage grade of the ramp = rise/run × 100 %
= 12 inches/144 inches × 100 %
= 1/12 × 100 %
= 0.0833 × 100 %
= 8.33 %
Answer:
x = 1
y = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
5x + 2y = 13
x + 2y = 9
Add both equations.
6x + 4y = 22
Solve for x.
6x = 22 - 4y
x = 22/6 - 4/6y
Put x as 22/6 - 4/6y in the second equation and solve for y.
22/6 - 4/6y + 2y = 9
-4/6y + 2y = 9 - 22/6
4/3y = 16/3
y = 16/3 × 3/4
y = 48/12
y = 4
Put y as 4 in the first equation and solve for x.
5x + 2(4) = 13
5x + 8 = 13
5x = 13 - 8
5x = 5
x = 5/5
x = 1
