Scott found the area of the shape to be 30 square units. If he used a unit
square with longer sides, would his
area measurement be greater than
30 square units or less than 30 square
units? Explain.

So if we do this to the area of Scott's shape, the result will be less than 30 squares units.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a shape has "x" square units, it means that we can fit that number of squares with side length of one unit in that given shape. For the case where we change the unit, we are changing the length of the square's sides, if the new one has greater sides, then it means that the square is bigger, therefore for the same shape we will be able to fit less squares. So if we do this to the area of Scott's shape, the result will be less than 30 squares units.

answer: the value should be used for i in the formula of calculation the monthly payment , the interest rate per period is 0.85.

step-by-step explanation:

the given rate of interest i= 85%

in calculating the monthly payment for a loan with an interest rate compounded monthly, the value of the interest rate per period we use in the formula must be in decimal form.

to convert it in decimal, we divide it by 100, we get

hence, the value should be used for i in the formula of calculation the monthly payment , the interest rate per period is 0.85.
