Answer:

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

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.

Find the total in the account with the following facts monthly contributions =$180 employer matching 25% interest rate 4.99% yea

algol13

Answer:

The amount that will be in the account after 38 years is $ 36811,05

Step-by-step explanation:

For resolved this exercise used the next equation

R(1-(1 + i)--) Ap = ... (1)

Ap = Amount in account

R = Paid monthly

i = Monthly interest rate

t = Months for paid

Dates

i=- 2.05% 12 = 0,1708% = 0.0017

The interest is divided for 12 because is annual and the formula is mensual

t = 15yearsx12 = 180 months

R = 220$

R(1-(1 + i)-) Ap =

220(1-(1 + 0.0017)-180) Ap = 0.0017

162,04 Ap=0.0017

Ap = 95321,855

The amount that will be in the account after 15 years is $ 95,321.85

R(1-(1 + i)--) Ap = ... (1)

Ap = Amount in account

R = Paid monthly

i = Monthly interest rate

t = Months for paid

i=- 4,99% -= 0,415% = 0.0041

The interest is divided for 12 because is annual and the formula is mensual

t = 38yearsx12 = 456 months

R = 180$

R(1-(1 + i)-) Ap =

Ap = 180(1-(1 + 0.0041) -456 0.0041

Ap = 36811,055

The amount that will be in the account after 38 years is $ 36811,05

If the area of the blue square is 144 units2 and the area of the pink square is 1225 units2, then the length of the hypotenuse i

navik [9.2K]

Answer: 37 units

Step-by-step explanation:

$Blue=144units^2$ This also works as the height of the triangle.

$Pink=1225units^2$ This also works as the base of the triangle.

Let's call pink ''a'', and blue ''b''. The side we're looking for ''c'' is the hypothenuse.

To find the values of a and b, use the area formula of a square and solve for a side. In this case, since we're going to need the squared values, this step can be omitted.

$Formula: A=s^2$
