This is a rectangle, meaning that all angles are right angles and all sides opposite to one another have equal length.
Since the length of CD is 24, the length of AB must also be 24.
Angle B is a right angle because this is a rectangle.
See anything? I'll you a hint. We have a right triangle with only one missing value.
What do we use to solve for missing lengths in a right triangle? The Pythagorean theorem, of course!
The length of c (the hypotenuse) is 26.
The length of a (one leg) is 24.
The length of b is unknown and we want to find it.
Subtract 576 by both sides.
Take square root of both sides.
The length of the missing leg is 10, meaning that the length of BD is 10.
This is what you should be needing. Enjoy!
Answer:
a). The company's percentage=60%
b). The total premium=$812.50
c). The company's payment=$487.50
Step-by-step explanation:
a).
The total premium can be expressed as;
T=H+R
where;
T=proportion of total premium
H=proportion paid by Harold Wagner
R=remaining proportion
In our case;
T=100%
H=40%
R=r
replacing;
100%=40%+r
r=100%-40%
r=60%
The company's percentage=60%
b).
The total premium, if 40%=$325.00
Let total premium be=t
40% of t=325
(40/100)×t=325
0.4 t=325
t=325/0.4
t=$812.50
The total premium=$812.50
c).
The company's payment=60% of total premium
The company's payment=(60/100)×812.5
The company's payment=$487.50
Check the picture below.
now, we're making an assumption that, the two blue shaded region are equal in shape, and thus if that's so, that area above the 14 is 6 and below it is also 6, 14 + 6 + 6 = 26.
so hmm if we simply get the area of the trapezoid and subtract the area of the yellow triangle and the area of the cyan triangle, what's leftover is what we didn't subtract, namely the shaded region.
