I have a math midterm in 2 days and I really don't get ANYTHING. April took out a $600 loan from the bank. At the end of 5 years
1 answer:
Answer:
2% interest rate.
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given:</u>
- April took out a $600 loan.
- After 5 years, she pays it back.
- She has payed $60 in simple interest.
Let's find the interest rate using the given values:
60 =
(r represents the possible percentage amount of the variable x)
(100 is being divided by the numerator to simplify the answer)
<u>Solve:</u>
600(5) = 3000
3000(r)/100
<u>Divide by 100:</u>
60 = 30r
<u>Divide both sides of the equation by 30:</u>
2=x
*r is represented by x.
Therefore, the interest rate is 2%.
Best of luck on your midterms!

1st question
Of course you know phythagoras theorm
You even wrote it up there
It states that the sum of the square of the two sides of an equilateral triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse
Where C is the hypotenuse
*NOTE* :
HYPOTENUSE is the greatest side in a triangle!!
And that's where your mistake is!
So you should take the greatest side as C
So in Q3. 7, 24 and 26 are the given numbers
You'll make the smaller two numbers a and b and the greatest number C
Using the Formula you'll solve the left side first which is
Then the right side which is
And if both are equal then it is a right triangle otherwise it isn't!
Let
a=7
b=24
c=26
a^2 + b^2
7^2 + 24^2
49 + 576 = 625
GREAT, Now the right side
26^2 = 676
Since they aren't equal it isn't a right angled triangle...
Then let
a=7.5
b=10
c=12.5
7.5^2 + 10^2
= 56.25 + 100
= 156.25
12.5^2 = 156.25
They are EQUAL
Therefore it is a right triangle too
