Answer:

<u>35 7/8 inches</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Shortest strip</u>

9 1/2 + 10 11/16 + 6 9/16 + 7 1/2 + 1 5/8
9 8/16 + 10 11/16 + 6 9/16 + 7 8/16 + 1 10/16
9 + 10 + 6 + 7 + 1 + (46/16)

A line segment with endpoints A = (3, 0) and B = (7,0). Then, plot all points

eduard

Answer:

C(0,6)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) find the length of the base of the triangle

AB = 7-3 = 4

2) find the the height of the triangle

A = (base x height)/2

A x 2 = base x height

height = (A x 2)/base

height = (12 x 2)/4 = 6

3) find the equation of the line that passes threw the points AB

the two points have the same y so the equation of the line is

y = 0

4) use the formula of the distance between a point and a line to find C

|ax+by+c|/√a^2 + b^2 = distance

x = 0

y = 6

C (0,6)

Molly opened a savings account with a one‐time deposit of $100 that will be left in the account for at least 5 years. The saving

Anettt [7]

The amount of interest Molly will earn after 5 years on a deposit of $\$100$ compounded annually over 5 years is $\$27.63$

First, we need to find the future value of her investment, then we subtract the original deposit from it to get the amount of interest she will get at the end of 5 years.

The future value of an investment that is compounded annually is given by

$A=P(1+r)^t$

where

$A=\text{Amount of money in Molly's account after 5 years}\\P=\text{Molly's initial deposit into her account}=\$500\\r=\text{The annual interest rate as a decimal}=0.05\\t=\text{The time the money is invested (in years)}=5$

Substituting the available values into the formula and solving

$A=100(1+0.05)^5=100(1.05)^5 \approx \$ 127.63$

The interest Molly will earn after 5 years is

$A-P=\$127.63-\$100=\$27.63$

Therefore, the amount of interest Molly will earn after 5 years on a deposit of $\$100$ compounded annually over 5 years is $\$27.63$
