Last year Emily invested some money and had gained 8% profit and her friend, Samira invested some money and gained 9% profit. Their total profit on the two investments was $1720. This year they each decided to invest the same amount of money as last year. Emily gained 7% profit this year and Samira gained 6%. If they receive a total profit of $1280, how much money did Emily invest? Answer.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Emily's investment = $8,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Emily's invested amount = x

Let Samira's amount = y

8% of Emily's amount = 8/100 × x = 0.08x

9% of Samira's amount = 9/100 of y = 0.09y

∴ 0.08x + 0.09y = 1720

multiplying through by 100

8x + 9y = 172000 - - - - - (1)

7% of Emily's amount = 0.07x

6% 0f Samira's amount = 0.06y

0.07x + 0.06x = 1280

multiplying through by 100

7x + 6y = 128000 - - - - - - (2)

Next, let us subtract eqn 2 from eqn 1

equation (1) - equation 2

    8x + 9y = 172000

-

    7x + 6y = 128000

=     x + 3y = 44000 - - - - (3)

from eqn (3) x = 44000 - 3y - - - - - (4)

putting this value of x into eqn 1

8x + 9y = 172000

8 (44000 - 3y) + 9y = 172000

352000 - 24y + 9y = 172000

-15y = 172000 - 352000 = -180000

y = 180000 ÷ 15

y = $12,000

finding x using eqn (4)

x = 44000 - 3y

x = 44000 - 3(12000)

x = 44000 - 36000

x = $8,000

∴ Emily's investment = $8,000

  d) ZR = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

All of the marked sides are congruent. (That's what the marks mean.) It might help you to put 8 next to each hash mark like it is on NS. So, you have ...

  NT = RS = ST = TZ = NS = 8

Segments on the same line sum, so ...

  RT = RS +ST = 2RS = 16

  ZR = RS +ST +TZ = 3RS = 24

a) NT = 8

b) RS = 8

c) RT = 16

d) ZR = 24


Use similar triangles and a proportion to find the length of the lake shown here.
(Hint: The side 92 m long in the smaller triangle corresponds to side of 92 m + 112 m = 204 m in the larger triangle.)
N= m

Answers

Answer: n = 152 m

Step-by-step explanation:

write a proportion to find n.

46/n = 92/204

n = 102 m

The length of the lake shown in the provided image using similar triangles and a proportion is 102 meters.

What is similar triangle's proportion property?

In the two similar triangle, the ratio of two sides of one triangle is equal to the ratio of corresponding sides of the other triangle.

In the figure shown,

The length of the base of the smaller triangle is 92 meters, The height of this triangle is 46 meters.

The total length of the base of the larger triangle is,

[tex]112+92=204\rm\; m[/tex]

The height of this triangle is n meters, which is equal to the length of lack. Thus, by the similar triangle proportion property,

[tex]\dfrac{n}{204}=\dfrac{46}{92}\\n=\dfrac{46\times204}{92}\\n=120\rm\; meters[/tex]

Thus, the length of the lake shown in the provided image using similar triangles and a proportion is 102 meters.

In parallelogram DEFG DH=x+2 HF=2y GH=3x-3 and HE=5y+1. Find the values of x and y.

Answers

Answer:

y = 10 and x =18

Step-by-step explanation:

From the parallelogram,

DH + HF = DF

x+2 + 2y = DF

Also DH = HF

x+2 = 2y

x - 2y = -2 .... 1

Also GH = HE

3x-3 = 5y+1

3x - 5y = 1 + 3

3x-5y = 4 .... 2

Solve  1 and 2 simultaneously

x - 2y = -2 .... 1 * 3

3x-5y = 4 .... 2 * 1

_____________

3x-6y = -6

3x-5y = 4

Subtract

-6y + 5y = -6-4

-y = -10

y = 10

Substitute y = 10 into 1

x- 2y = -2

x - 2(10) = -2

x - 20 = -2

x = -2+20

x = 18

Hence y = 10 and x =18

What are trigonometric relations?

Trigonometry is the study of the relationships between the angles and the lengths of the sides of triangles

The six trigonometric functions are sin , cos , tan , cosec , sec and cot

Let the angle be θ , such that

sin θ = opposite / hypotenuse

cos θ = adjacent / hypotenuse

tan θ = opposite / adjacent

tan θ = sin θ / cos θ

cosec θ = 1/sin θ

sec θ = 1/cos θ

cot θ = 1/tan θ

Given data ,

Let the triangle be ΔPQR

Let the angle ∠P = θ

Triangle ΔPQR  is a right angle triangle

where ∠Q = 90°

Now , the value of the sides are

PQ = 8 cm

QR = 15 cm

PR = 17 cm

Now , from the trigonometric relations

∠QPR = θ

tan θ = opposite side / adjacent side

Opposite side of Triangle PQR is QR

Adjacent side of Triangle PQR is PQ

So , substituting the values in the equation , we get

tan θ = opposite side / adjacent side

tan θ = QR / PQ

tan θ = 15 / 8

tan θ = 1.875

Now , the value of θ is

The value of θ = tan⁻¹ ( 1.875 )

The value of θ = 61.93°

Therefore , the value of θ is 61.93°

Hence , The value of angle P of the triangle ΔPQR is ∠P = 61.93°

The converse of the pythagorean theorem states that if a^2+b^2 = c^2, then we have a right triangle with hypotenuse c. The hypotenuse is always the longest side and always opposite the 90 degree angle.

Note how 5^2+12^2 = 25+144 = 169 while 13^2 = 169, so that shows how 5^2+12^2 = 13^2 is true.

subtract 9x from each side

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(5) If Oskar bisects the diameter of a circle, what is he trying to construct the radius of the circle.

(6) The given equation is :

[tex](x-5)^2+(y+3)^2=49[/tex]

The general equation of circle is given by :

[tex](x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2[/tex] ...(1)

Where

(a,b) are the coordinates of the centre and r is the radius.

The given equation can be written as :

[tex](x-5)^2+(y+3)^2=7^2[/tex] ..(2)

Comparing equation (1) and (2) we get :

a = 5, b = -3 and r = 7

So,

Center = (5,-3) and radius = 7

Hence, this is the required solution.
