Step-by-step explanation:

there are 2 similar triangles : ABE and DCE

that means they have the same angles, and the scaling factor from one triangle to the other is the same for every side.

and that means that

DE/AE = EC/BE (= DC/AB)

we know that

AE = AD + DE

BE = BC + EC

a.

so, we have actually

DE/(AD+DE) = EC/(BC+EC)

DE/(10+DE) = 8/(2+8) = 8/10 = 4/5

DE = 4(10+DE)/5

5DE = 4(10+DE) = 40 + 4DE

DE = 40 cm

b.

AD/DE = 3/5

BC/EC must be 3/5 too.

15/EC = 3/5

15 = 3EC/5

75 = 3EC

EC = 25 cm

If Jeannie invests $7,250 at a rate of 12%, compounded weekly, find the value of the investment after 10 years. $24,037.59 $16,0
Karolina [17]
Hi there!

• Principle amount, P = $ 7, 250

• Rate of interest, r = 12 %

• No. of weeks in an year, n = 52

• Time period, t = 10 years

Aₜ = P [ 1 + (\dfrac {r}{n}) ] ᴺ ˣ ᵀ

A₁₀ = 7, 250 [ 1 + (\dfrac {0.12}{52}) ] ⁵² ˣ ¹⁰

Simplifying :-

A₁₀ = $ 24,037.59

Hence,
Option [ 1. ] - $ 24,037.59 is Correct

~ Hope it helps!
