Answer:

  (c) 14.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The relevant trig relation is ...

  Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

  sin(65°) = BC/BA

  BC = BA·sin(65°) ≈ (16 cm)·0.9063 ≈ 14.501 cm

  BC ≈ 14.5 cm

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

As is often the case, a simple estimate is all that is needed to identify the correct answer choice.

You only need to know how the long side of a right triangle compares to the others. In an isosceles right triangle, both legs are √2/2 ≈ 0.71 times the hypotenuse. The long side of a right triangle will never be shorter than that. This means the long side must be greater than about 11.2, and cannot be greater than 16. There is only one answer choice in that range.

You have a $3175 student loan. Suppose you pay the loan off in two and a half years (30 months). Estimate your monthly payment b
finlep [7]

Answer:

$106

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula given for Monthly payment of a loan =

P × [ r (1 + r)/(1 + r)^n - 1

Where

r = interest rate

n = number of monthly payments

P = Present value of the loan

From the question,

r = interest rate, we were told to ignore hence, r = 0

P = $3,175

n = 30

Hence,

Amount to be paid monthly = P/n

= $3175/30

= $105.83

Approximately to the nearest dollars

= $106

The base of a rectangular prism is 5.4 centimeters long and 4.9 centimeters wide. It is 3.8 centimeters tall. What is the volume
lorasvet [3.4K]
So, We Need To Examine The Problem. So, We Know That We Need To Find The Volume Of A Rectangular Prism. We Also Know That The Dimensions Are 4.9 • 3.8 • 5.4.
So, We Need To Remember The Formula For Volume Of A Rectangular Prism. 
V = B • W • H
So, we need to plug in the known values.
V = 4.9 • 3.8<span> • 5.4.
So, Lets Solve.
4.9 • 3.8 = 18.62
18.62 * 5.4 = 100.548 cm²
Now We Have:
V = 100.548cm²
It Rounds To 100.5cm²

What is the length of the missing leg
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the pythagorean theorem, we know that a^2+ b^2=c^2

In our case, we know b, which is 5 and c which is 13.

If we plug that into the equation, we get a^2+ 5^2 = 13^2

Next, we simplify the equation. a^2 + 25 = 169

Then we subtract 25 from 169. 169 - 25 = 144.

Lastly, we do the square root of 144 and we get 12 which is the missing side.
