Answer:

405

Step-by-step explanation:

Since

2 : 9 = 90 : X

Then we know

9/2 = X/90

Multiplying both sides by 90 cancels on the right

90 × (9/2) = (X/90) × 90

90 × (9/2) = X

Then solving for X

X = 90 × (9/2)

X = 405

Therefore

2 : 9 = 90 : 405

it's a right angled triangle so we will use hypotenuse formula to get the value of x

hypotenuse formula = a² + b² = c²

a = side of the triangle

b = base of traingle

c = hypotenuse ( can be written as h too)

and the formula can also be written as.

c² = a² + b²

therefore, x = 12.1

EastWind [94]

Answer:

Results are below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Principal (P)= $2,500

Interest rate= 4%

Number of periods= 2 years

First, we will determine the interest earned using the simple interest formula:

I= P*r*t

I= 2,500*0.04*2

I=$200

Now, using the compound interest formula:

I= [P*(1 + r)^t] - P

r= 0.04/2= 0.02 (semi annual interest rate)

t=2*2= 4 semesters

I= [2,500*(1.02^4)] - 2,500

I= $206.08
