Like all problems that involve images within the question, we should definitely try to draw this out. In the picture above, I have done this.
Now, we can see that this is just a simple proportion problem. For every 2.5 cm of height of the flower, we are 2 cm from the opening, or aperture. For every 20 cm of height, how far are we? We can set up the problem like this:
20 ............2.5
-------- = ---------
...x ............. 2
where x is the unknown distance to the aperture from the flower. Now, we just need to get x by itself. A typical way of solving something like this is by doing "butterfly multiplication" which is really just a shortcut haha. Anyway, I can rewrite that equation ^ as:
20×2 = 2.5 × x
Then, to solve for x, we would divide both sides by 2.5. (If you don't know why that is, please let me know and I'll elaborate).
We would then have:
20×2
------- = x
2.5
Which then simplifies to:
x = 16
Try using the same logic for your second question, and if you get stuck, I'd be happy to help! please let me know if any of this doesn't make sense. :)
Answer:
13 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Adjacent sides form half the perimeter, so the sum of the unknown side and the given side is 34/2 = 17 meters.
4 meters + width = 17 meters
width = 13 meters . . . . . subtract 4 meters
The answer to this question is D.
Using compound interest, it is found that:
a) A(8) = 2389.66
b) t = 31.15
c) P = 1870.85
Compound interest:
- A(t) is the amount of money after t years.
- P is the principal(the initial sum of money).
- r is the interest rate(as a decimal value).
- n is the number of times that interest is compounded per year.
- t is the time in years for which the money is invested or borrowed.
In this problem:
- The APR is of 2.25%, hence
.
- No information about the number of compounding per year, hence
.
Item a:
, hence:



Item b:
, hence:







Item c:
, hence:
