Question The price of a sofa is Sx. A man buys the sofa on hire purchase according to the following terms:
a downpayment of 25 % and the remaining to be paid in monthly instalments over 30 months at a
simple interest rate of 12 % per annum. Given that his monthly instalment is $52, find the value of x.
Answer:
Use the Pythagorean theorem for right triangles to solve this
a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where 'a' and 'b' are the legs of the triangle and 'c' is the hypotenuse
so:
8^2 + b^2 = 17^2 solve for the second leg, b
64 + b^2 = 289
b^2 = 289 - 64= 225
b = 15
Two angles that added together equal 90 degrees
