Answer:
MK
Step-by-step explanation:
ML is the short side of right triangle MLK. MJ is the hypotenuse of right triangle MKJ. This gives you a clue that the ratios of interest are the short side to the hypotenuse. All these right triangles are similar, so ...
ML/MK = MK/MJ . . . . . ratio of short side to hypotenuse is the same
ML·MJ = MK² . . . . . . . cross multiply
MK = √(ML·MJ) . . . . . the geometric mean of ML and MJ is MK
Answer:
$607.75
Step-by-step explanation:
As a first approximation, compound interest will be slightly higher than simple interest for a relatively short time period. Here simple interest at 5% for 4 years will add 4×5% = 20% to the value, adding about $100 to the initial $500 value. That is, we expect the value in 4 years to be slightly more than $600.
The appropriate answer choice is $607.75.
_____
The actual amount can be calculated using the multiplier 1.05 for each of the 4 years, or 1.05^4 ≈ 1.21550625 for the entire period. Then the predicted item value is ...
$500 × 1.21550625 = $607.753125 ≈ $607.75
Answer:93.75 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Distance between two cities is 
and Map 2 shows 2 inches is equal to 
So each inch is equal to 
So 
measures
So cities are 
apart
