Explanation:

The length CD can be found from the Pythagorean theorem.

  CF² + CD² = DF²

  2² + CD² = (2√10)²

  CD² = 40 -4 = 36

  CD = √36 = 6

From here, any of several methods could be used to find the area of ΔDEF.

One of them is to subtract the areas of the triangles that are not ΔDEF from the area of the rectangle ABCD.

  area ABCD = bh = (6 cm)(5 cm) = 30 cm²

  area ΔADE = 1/2bh = 1/2(4 cm)(5 cm) = 10 cm²

  area ΔBEF = 1/2bh = 1/2(2 cm)(3 cm) = 3 cm²

  area ΔCDF = 1/2bh = 1/2(6 cm)(2 cm) = 6 cm²

Then the area of interest is ...

  area ΔDEF = area ABCD -area ΔADE -area ΔBEF -area ΔCDF

  area ΔDEF = (30 -10 -3 -6) cm²

  area ΔDEF = 11 cm²

__

<em>Alternate solution</em>

If we define A as the origin of a coordinate system, then the coordinates of the vertices of ΔDEF are ...

  D(0, 5), E(4, 0), F(6, 3)

The area can be computed as half the absolute value of the sum of the determinants of 2×2 matrices consisting of adjacent points.

  A=\dfrac{1}{2}\left|\left|\begin{array}{cc}0&5\\4&0\end{array}\right|+\left|\begin{array}{cc}4&0\\6&3\end{array}\right|+\left|\begin{array}{cc}6&3\\0&5\end{array}\right| \right|\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}|(0-20)+(12-0)+(30-0)|=\dfrac{1}{2}(22) = \boxed{11}

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The solution using coordinates is effectively equivalent to the computation of the area of trapezoid ABFD, less the areas of triangles EBF and AED.

Nikita invests $2,000 into a bank account with a 4% annual interest rate. In seven years, which is the most expensive item she c
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

Anything that does not cost more than $2,560.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Provided that Nikita is spending money that she had invested and the amount  she collected over the period of 7 years. She can buy any item that costs no more than $2,560.00 but how?

It is a problem of simple interest:

Here the principal amount (P) = $2,000.00

Interest rate (r) = 4%

Time period (t) = 7 years

So, total amount that she would get by the end of 7 years is:

A=P+SI

SI=\frac{P\times r\times t}{100}

Plugging the values we get:

SI=\frac{2000\times 4\times 7}{100}=560.00

So the interest collected over 7 years is $560.00

Therefore, the total amount after 7 years is:

\$2000.00+\$560.00=\$2,560.00

If Nikita is using this money then the most expensive item that she could buy will cost no more than $2,560.00.
