Answer:

9 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose AB is the ladder. AC is the height of the window above the ground and BC is the distance of the foot of ladder from the wall.

The triangle ABC is right angled at C.

∴ AB² = AC² + BC²

=> 15² = 12² + x²

=> 225 - 144= x²

=> 81 = x²

=> 9 = x

  • Hence, distance of the foot of the ladder from the wall is 9 m.

Answer:

  • to interest: $532.97
  • to principal: $54.23
  • new balance: $79,891.90

Step-by-step explanation:

The interest is found by multiplying the monthly rate by the balance on the loan. For the first month, the balance is the loan amount.

  $79,946.13 × 0.08 ×(1/12) . . . . . one month = 1/12 year

  = $532.97

The interest amount in the first payment is $532.97.

__

The amount of the first payment that goes to principal is what is left after the interest is paid:

  $587.20 -532.97 = $54.23 . . . amount to principal

__

The new balance is the previous balance less the amount to principal:

  $79,946.13 -54.23 = $79,891.90 . . . new balance
