Answer:

x = 15.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2  where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

6^2 + x^2 = 17^2

36+ x^2 = 289

x^2 = 289-36

x^2 =253

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt( 253)

x = 15.90597

Rounding to the nearest tenth

x = 15.9

Find the GCF and LCM of each number using any of the methods.​
vodka [1.7K]

The GCF is the smallest shared prime factor for each term.

The LCM is the smallest whole number that both numbers share as multiples.

For example, take #16.

Factors of 25: 1 , 5, 25

Factors of 75: 1 , 3, 5, 15, 25 ,75

The GCF that is shared would then be 25.

The smallest multiple that both share as multiples:

Multiples of 25: 25, 50, 75, etc.

Multiples of 75: 75, etc.

The LCM that is shared would then be 75.

16) 25 and 75

GCF: 25

LCM: 75

17) 35 and 5

GCF: 5

LCM: 35

18) 27 and 36

GCF: 9

LCM: 108

19) 21 and 56

GCF: 7

LCM: 168

20) 54 and 72

GCF: 18

LCM: 216

A person places $4080 in an investment account earning an annual rate of 5.7%, compounded continuously. Using the formula
tangare [24]

We have been given that a person places $6340 in an investment account earning an annual rate of 8.4%, compounded continuously. We are asked to find amount of money in the account after 2 years.

We will use continuous compounding formula to solve our given problem as:

, where

A = Final amount after t years,

P = Principal initially invested,

e = base of a natural logarithm,

r = Rate of interest in decimal form.  

Upon substituting our given values in above formula, we will get:

Upon rounding to nearest cent, we will get:

Therefore, an amount of $7499.82 will be in account after 2 years.

What is 66% of $1,678.89 plus 7.5% tax?
schepotkina [342]
50% of 1,678.89 = 839.445
10% = 167.889
5% = 83.9445
1% = 16.7889
.5% = 8.39445
Therefore 66% = 1108.0674
and 7.5% = 125.91675
So the two added together is: 1233.98415
To get the percentages simply do the following
50% = divide by two
10% = divide 50% by five OR divide the original number by 10
5% = divide 10% by two or divide 50% by 10
1% = divide 5% by 5 or divide original by 100
.5% = divide 1% by two

An interior designer sketches a design for a rectangular rug. The dimensions of a sketch are 4 inches by 7.5 in. The dimensions
Black_prince [1.1K]

3,000 in.

(4 x 10) + (7.5 x 10) = 3000


The dimensions on the sketch are 10 times less than the actual rug.


40 in., 7.5 in.


The drawing lengths are ten times more, so you just multiply the dimensions by 10, and then multiply the product you find out to find the actual area of the rug.
