Karen depostited $5000 as a certificate of deposit in a bank for a period of 3 years. the certificate or deposit pays a simple interest of 15% per year and pays interest every 6 months. how much interest does she get every 6 months

15% per year

7.5% half year

5000 * 7.5% = $375 every 6 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

the correct option is 2.

step-by-step explanation:

according to the given information triangle abc is a right angle triangle with right angle at a. segment ab is 5 and segment ac is 7. point d is on segment bc and angles adb and adc are right angles.

it is given that triangles abd, cad, and cba are similar.

two triangles are similar if their corresponding sides are proportional.

in triangle cba, using pythagoras theorem

                      )

triangle abd and cba are similar,

                            (2)

triangle cad and cba are similar,

                      )

using (1), (2) and (3), we get

hence proved.

therefore option 2 is correct.
