Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

Find the hypotenuse of the triangle. That is also the length of the rectangle.

Then use Pythagoras to find x.

Givens and solution

two sides of the triangle both = to 6

Find the base of the triangle which is also the length of the rectangle. Call the base = y

6^2 + 6^2 = y^2

36 + 36 = y^2

y^2 = 72

sqrt(y^2) = sqrt(72)

y = 8.4853

Transfer x to the opposite side of the rectangle.

x^2 = diagonal^2 - y^2

x^2 = 9^2 - y^2

x^2 = 81 - 72

x^2 = 9

sqrt(x^2)= sqrt(9)

x = 3

Each of the students at piano recital takes about 8 3/4 minutes to introduce themselves and play 3 songs. There are 9 students p

Tomtit [17]

For this case we have that each student takes 8 \ frac {3} {4} minutes to perform and play 3 songs. Then, we convert the mixed number to a fraction:

$8 \frac {3} {4} = \frac {4 * 8 + 3} {4} = \frac {32 + 3} {4} = \frac {35} {4}$

Thus, each student takes $\frac {35} {4}$ minutes.

If there are 9 students in the recital then we have:

$9 * \frac {35} {4} = \frac {315} {4} = 78.75$ minutes.

Thus, the recital lasts at least 78.75 minutes.

Answer:

The recital lasts at least 78.75 minutes.

What initial investment must be made to accumulate $60000 in 17 years if the money is invested in a mutual fund that pays 12% an

mars1129 [50]

$7881.18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the initial Investment be $P_{0}$ . The Interest is compounded on a monthly basis at 12% annual interest rate. After 17 years, the Investment amounts to $60,000.

As the annual interest rate is 12%, the monthly interest rate is 1%.

Since this is a compound interest problem, the total amount can be modeled as follows: $P(t)=P_{0}(1+\frac{i}{100})^{t}$

Here $i$ is the interest rate, i.e $1$ , and t is the number of time periods, i.e $17\textrm{ years x }12\frac{\textrm{months}}{\textrm{year}}$ = $204\textrm{ months}$

$60,000=P_{0}\textrm{ x }(\frac{101}{100})^{204}$

$P_{0}=7881.18$

∴ Initial Investment = $7881.18
