Answer 2

Since the area 400 gallons will cover, 5520 square feet is less than the area of half a city block which is 45000 square feet, the Newscasters claim is wrong.

What is the area of the city block?

The area of the city block is calculated from the product of the dimensions provided:

The city block is in form of a square, hence it's area = side × side

Dimension of city block = 300 feet by 300 feet.

Area of city block = 90000 square feet

Half of area of city block = 45000 square feet

1 gallon covers 13.8 square feet

400 gallons will cover = 400 × 13.8 = 5520 square feet

The area 400 gallons of coffee will cover is less than 45000 square feet.

Therefore, the news caster's claim is wrong.

For average daily balance:

Form date 9/1 to date 9/5 :

Balance x number of the days = $ 387.52 x 5 days = $ 1937.6

As on date 9/6 :

($ 387.52 - $ 50.00) x 1 day = $ 337.52

From date 9/7 to date 9/18 :

Balance = $ 337.50

Number of days = 12 days

Therefore, product = 12 days x $ 337.52

= $ 4050.24

As on 9/19 :

($ 337.52  + $ 62.66) x 1 day = $ 400.18

From date 9/20 to date 9/30

Balance :$ 400.18

Number of days = 11 days

Therefore, product = 11 days x $ 400.18

= $ 4401.98

Average daily balance

=  ($ 1937.6 +  $ 337.50 + $ 4050.24 + $ 400.18 + $ 4401.98) / 30

= $ 370.91

Finance charge = $ 370.91 x 1.75 %

Answers

Answer:

g=118 degrees h=62 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

So we can use some angle rules that I forget the name of to solve this.

Let's look at angle g first. We know that the opposite angle is 118 degrees. So that also means that g is going to be 118 degrees.

Since g is 118 degrees we can find h. The angle of a line is 180 degrees. This means that we can do 180-118 to find h. h=62 degrees.

We can do the same thing for k and m. Try doing what I did for g and h for those two. Comment if you need help.

Geena can rent an apartment for $850 per month or she can buy a house for $175,000 at 3.875% interest for 30 years. How much will each housing choice cost for one year?

A. Price of Renting:
B. Price of Buying:

Answers

Using simple interest, it is found that the prices are as follows:

A. $10,200.

B. $12,614.58.

Simple Interest

Simple interest is used when there is a single compounding per time period.

The amount of money after t years in is modeled by:

[tex]A(t) = A(0)(1 + rt)[/tex]

In which:

A(0) is the initial amount.r is the interest rate, as a decimal.

Item a:

$850 for 12 months, hence the yearly cost is:

P = 850 x 12 = $10,200.

Item b:

The total cost is found using simple interest with A(0) = 175000, t = 30, r = 0.03875, hence:

A(t) = A(0)(1 + rt)

A(30) = 175000[1 + 0.03875(30)]

A(30) = 378437.5.

The yearly cost is given by:

378437.5/30 = $12,614.58.

Dimension of the triangle:

base = (15 - 11) = 4height = (7x - 4x) = 3x

Area of a rectangle = length × width

Area of a triangle = 1/2 × base × width

Total area = area of rectangle + area of triangle
