Answer: 10.75 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:

First hour = + 18 1/2 (forward)

Second hour = - 13.5 (backward)

Third hour = + 46/8 (forward)

Given expression deducted from the questions

Total Distance = First hour + Second hour + Third hour

Substitute values into the expression

Total Distance = 18 1/2 + (-13.5) + 46/8

Convert to decimals

Total Distance = 18.5 - 13.5 + 5.75

Simplify by subtraction/addition

Total Distance = 5 + 5.75

Total Distance = $\boxed{10.75\:inches\\}$

Hope this helps!! :)

an isosceles triangle has congruent sides of 20cm. the base is 10cm. find the height of the triangle.

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{A_\triangle=25\sqrt{15}\ cm^2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the picture.

The formula of an area of a triangle:

$A_\triangle=\dfrac{bh}{2}$

b - base

h - height

We need a length of a height.

Use the Pythagorean theorem:

$leg^2+leg^2=hypotenuse^2$

We have:

$leg=5,\ leg=h,\ hypotenuse=20$

Substitute:

$5^2+h^2=20^2$

$25+h^2=400$ subtract 25 from both sides

$h^2=375\to h=\sqrt{375}\\\\h=\sqrt{(25)(15)}\\\\h=\sqrt{25}\cdot\sqrt{15}\\\\h=5\sqrt{15}\ cm$

Calculate the area:

$A_\triangle=\dfrac{(10)(5\sqrt{15})}{2}=\dfrac{50\sqrt{15}}{2}=25\sqrt{15}\ cm^2$

bridget recieved 1400 from her grandfather as a birthday gift she decided to put the money in an account to save for college the

Simora [160]

Answer:

The amount received after 5 years is 1827.39

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount received by Bridget from his grandfather as the birthday gift = 1400 .

Since he wants to deposit it and save for college, he earns interest rate = 5.4%

He deposited this money for the years = 5 years.

Here, the Present value (PV) is = 1400

Interest rate ( r ) = 5.4% or 0.054

Since the interest rate is compounded semi annually, So, n = 10

Now if we calculate the future value of 1400 with interest rate 5.4 percent:

$\text{The amount received after 5 years} = PV(1 + \frac{r}{2} )^{n} \\$

$= 1400(1 + \frac{0.054}{2})^{10} \\$

$= 1827.39$

Therefore, 1827.39 will be the total money in his account after five years.
