5. Suppose the $250,000 is owed on a house after the down payment is made. The monthly payment for principal and interest at 9.0% for 30 years is 250*8.04623=$2,011.56. What is the total amount that will be paid for principal and interest? If the total interest charged is the total amount paid minus the amount financed, what is the total interest?

1. Let L = the length of the longer leg, S = the length of the shorter leg, H = the length of the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

By Pythagorean theorem, L^2+ S^2= H^2. Since H is 1m 'longer' than the longer leg, L, H = L + 1. Also, the length of the shorter leg is given as 9m.

Therefore, L^2+9^2= 〖(L+1)〗^2= L^2+2L+1 (expand the factor, (〖L+1)〗^2)

Subtract L^2 and 1 from both sides and you will get:

80 = ...

  • Smallest Angle in 2:3:4 (Angle) Triangle and Diagonals of a Rhombus

    ALL triangles on a plane (perfectly flat surface) have angles that add up to a total of 180 degrees, always. Since the angles are in the ratio of 2:3:4, let the angles be 2x, 3x, and 4x So this gives you the equation 2x + 3x + 4x = 180 degrees.

  • Using triangles to find the length of the side marked x.

    The triangles share a corner angle and both have right angles. Therefore the third angles are also congruent by the sum of interior angles. We find the scale factor by setting a ratio of corresponding sides 4/5.
