Answer:

second side = 6.75

third side = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

6/8 = 9/x

8x = 54

x = 6.75

8/12 = 6/y

8y = 72

y = 9

If P is the orthocenter of △ABC, AB = 13, BF = 9,and FC = 5.6, find each measure & the perimeter of triangle ABC.

harina [27]

Answer:

$Perimeter = 38.6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$A\ B = 13$

$B\ F = 9$

$F\ C = 5.6$

Required

Calculate the perimeter of A B C

To calculate the perimeter of A B C, we sum up the sides of the triangle

i.e.

$Perimeter = A B + B\ C + A\ C$

AB is given in the question already.

So, we need to calculate B F and F C

To solve for BF, we consider triangle B F C

Using Pythagoras Theorem, we have:

$B\ C^2 = B\ F^2 + F\ C^2$

Substitute values for BF and FC;

$B\ C^2 = 9^2 + 5.6^2$

$B\ C^2 = 81 + 31.36$

$B\ C^2 = 112.36$

$B\ C^2= \sqrt{112.36$

$B\ C = 10.6$

Next, we calculate A C.

To calculate A C, we need to calculate A F, considering triangle B F A

Using Pythagoras Theorem, we have:

$A\ B^2 = B\ F^2 + A\ F^2$

Substitute values for B F and A B;

$13^2 = 9^2 + A\ F^2$

$169= 81 + A\ F^2$

$A\ F^2 = 169 - 81$

$A\ F^2 = 88$

$A\ F = \sqrt{88$

$A\ F = 9.4$

Since F lies on line A C:

$A\ C = A\ F + F\ C$

$A\ C = 9.4 + 5.6$

$A\ C = 15.0$

Recall that:

$Perimeter = A\ B + B\ C + A\ C$

$Perimeter = 13 + 10.6 + 15.0$

$Perimeter = 38.6$

<em>Hence, the perimeter is 38.6</em>

Answer:

<u>The rate of return is 8.15%</u>

<u>This is a good investment</u>

<u></u>

Explanation:

For the first question, you need to find the rate that makes the present value of a stream of ten constant annual payments of $15,000 equal to the $100,000 investment.

The formula that returns the present value of a constant payment is called the annuity formula and is:

$Present\text{ }value=payment\times \bigg[\dfrac{1}{r}-\dfrac{1}{r(1+r)^t}\bigg]$

In your problem you know:

Present value: $100,000
payment: $15,000
r: ?
t: 10

You cannot solve for r directly. You must guess a value and calculate the right side of the equation until to you find the rate that makes it equal to 100,000.

Try 5%:

$\$15,000\times \bigg[\dfrac{1}{0.05}-\dfrac{1}{0.05(1+0.05)^{10}}\bigg]=\$115,826$

Then, the rate of return is greater than 5%. After several trials you will find that the rate of return is 8.15%.

Since this rate is higher than 8%, which is what the company requires, this is a good investment.

P and q are different two-digit prime numbers with the same digits, but in reversed order. what is the value of the larger of p

serious [3.7K]

The set of two-digit primes is {11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97}

Of that list, the following primes are mirror images of each other
13 and 31
17 and 71
37 and 73
79 and 97
Note: we ignore 11 since 11 flips to 11 which is not distinct from its original

If you're looking for the largest prime of this form, then its 97
If you're looking for the largest gap, then subtract each pair
31-13 = 18
71-17 = 54
73-37 = 36
97-79 = 18
We see that 71 and 17 have the largest gap
