Answer:
x = y = 2√2
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the diagram attached
To get the unknown side x and y, we need to use the SOH CAH TOA identity
Opposite side = x
Adjacent = y
Hypotenuse = 4
Sin theta = opposite/hypotenuse
sin 45 = x/4
x = 4 sin 45
x = 4 * 1/√2
x = 4 * 1/√2 * √2/√2
x = 4 * √2/√4
x = 4 * √2/2
x = 2√2
Similarly;
cos theta = adjacent/hypotenuse
cos 45 = y/4
y = 4cos45
y = 4 * 1/√2
y = 4 * 1/√2 * √2/√2
y = 4 * √2/√4
y = 4 * √2/2
y = 2√2

9 months,
a = total amount invested at 5%
b = total amount invested at 8%
we know 5% was earned in interest from "a", so that'd be (5/100) * a or 0.05a.
we know 8% was earned in interest from "b", so that'd be (8/100) * a or 0.08b.
we also know that the total for both is 1000, a + b = 100.
