Answer:

3.87 ft = Length of unknown side of the right triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Hypotenuse = 4 ft

Base = 1 ft

Altitude = x

Hypotenuse² = Base² + Altitude²

4² = 1² + x²

4² - 1² = x²

16 - 1 = x²

15 = x²

√15 ft = x

3.87 ft = x

Hope it helps ⚜

Answer:

\huge\boxed{\bf\:3.87 \: ft = Missing \: length}

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the missing length in this case.

Here, we have the base & the hypotenuse given. They are..

  • Base = 1 ft
  • Hypotenuse = 4 ft

Now, we need to solve for the altitude or height of the triangle.

According to the Pythagorean theorem, we know that the square of the  hypotenuse will be the square of the altitude and the square of the base of the triangle. That in mathematical formula will be → Hypotenuse² = Base² + Altitude²

By using this formula and the given values,

Hypotenuse² = Base² + Altitude²

\sf\:4^{2} = 1^{2} + Altitude^{2}\\\sf\:16 = 1 + Altitude^{2}\\\sf\:16 - 1 = Altitude^{2}\\\sf\:15 = Altitude^{2}\\\sf\:\sqrt{15} = Altitude\\\boxed{\bf\:3.87 ft = Altitude}

\rule{150}{2}

Answer:7043.82

It would be 4200 x 1.09 which is the interest to the power of 6 for the number of years which would then give you 4200 x 1.09^6. This will then give the answer of 7043.82
