Answer:

24.33 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The flower bed, the ladder and the house form a right angled triangle where the length of the ladder is the hypotenuse side.

Let L = length of ladder, H = height of house = 24 feet and l = length of flower bed = 4 feet.

Using Pythagoras' theorem,

L² = H² + l²

So, L = √(H² + l²)

substituting the values of the variables, we have

L = √[(24 ft)² + (4 ft)²]

L = √[576 ft² + 16 ft²]

L = √[592 ft²]

L = 24.33 ft

The ladder must be at least 24.33 feet long to reach the top and be out of the flower bed

A investor obtained a loan of $600,000 to buy a car wash business. The monthly mortgage payment was based on 30 years at 5.5%. F
Lisa [10]

Answer:

The monthly mortgage payment is $ 8306.58

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The loan taken as $ 600,000

The rate of interest = 5.5 %

The time period = 30 Years

So, from compounded method

Amount = principal × (1 +\frac{Rate}{100})^{Time}

or, Amount = $ 600,000 × (1 +\frac{5.5}{100})^{30}

Or, Amount =  $ 600,000 × (1.055)^{30}

∴   Amount = $ 2990370.77

<u>Now for The monthly mortgage payment </u>

∵ Time period is 30 years

So , 30 years = 12 × 30 = 360 months

∴ Amount payment in monthly =$ \frac{2990370.77}{360}

Or, Amount payment in monthly =$ 8306.58

Hence The monthly mortgage payment is $ 8306.58   Answer
