Answer:

Not larger or smaller; the areas are the same

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the formula for the area of a triangle of base b and height h is

A = (1/2)(b)(h).

In the first case, h = 3 ft and b = 2.5 ft.  This results in an area of 3.75 ft^2.

In the second case, h = 2.5 ft and b = 3 ft.  The area is the same:  3.75 ft^2.

This is because A = (1/2)(b)(h) has the same value regardless of the order in which b and h  are used as multipliers.

There is no difference in the areas of the two signs.  The areas are the same.

An account earns simple interest. $1800 at 6.5% for 30 months Find the interest earned.
horrorfan [7]
Okay. The formula for simple interest is prt. You multiply the principal (initial amount) by the rate (percentage) by the time (months or years). $1,800 is the principal and 6.5% is the percentage rate. 1,800 * 6.5% (0.065) is 117. You earn $117 in interest annually. The time period is 30 months. There are 12 months in 1 year. Divide the amount of months by 12 to put it in a decimal. 30/12 is 2.5. Now, multiply 117 by 2.5 to find the total amount of interest earned. 117 * 2.5 is 292.5. There. The total amount of interest earned is $292.50.
