Jane needs a short-term loan to buy a new washing machine. She needs to borrow $1500 at 20% compounded annually and plans to have it paid off in 1 year. Jane writes the formula 1500(1.2)t and finds out that this loan will cost her $1800. Which equation shows how Jane can rewrite the formula to find the annual percentage rate that would cost her the same amount if it compounded semi-annually?

A≈1500(1.2)12t
A≈1500(1.2)2t
A≈1500(1.095)2t
A≈1500(1.095)12t

step-by-step explanation:

points a and b are equidistant from the desired line, so the line you find by using them will go through point r.

using points other than a and b will give the desired line only if they are equidistant from r. if they are randomly located, the perpendicular line you create will not necessarily go through point r, hence will not be a solution to the problem.

1. 180°. the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°, for the equilateral triangle that it has three equals side is 60°+60°+60°=180°.

2. 60°. each interior angle of a equilateral triangle is 60°

3. 120°. the measure of ∠m is 120°, the sum of the angles ∠m and ∠n is equal to 180°. so, in order to find the measure of ∠m, we have ∠m+∠n=180° > ∠m=180°-∠n > ∠m=180°-60°=120°.

4. 360°. the sum of the exterior angles of an equilateral triangle is ∠m+∠r+∠x=120°+120°+120°=360°. the exterior angles of any triangle always add 360°.
