Henry was 40 feet away from his original starting point. Using Pythagorean's theorem it is calculated.

<h3>What is the Pythagorean theorem?</h3>

The theorem says that,

In a right-angled triangle, the sum of squares of the lengths of two arms (opposite and adjacent sides) is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

I.e, Consider a right-angled triangle ΔABC, where AC is the hypotenuse side of the triangle. So, according to the theory,

AC² = AB² + BC²

<h3>Calculation:</h3>

It is given that,

Henry walked on a flat field,

9 meters - towards the north

24 feet - towards the east

9 meters + 32 feet - towards the south

This can be shown in the diagram below.

In the diagram, the distance from the starting point is X, and the last point is  S.

To find the distance between these two points, a line is joined as shown in the diagram. Thus, it is formed as a right-angled triangle.

So, according to the Pythagorean theorem,

XS² = (24)² + (32)²

(here 32 feet is the only distance from the assumed point to the endpoint)

⇒ XS² = 1600 = 40²

∴ XS = 40 feet

So, Henry is 40 feet away from the original starting point.

Greg deposited $4000 into an account with 4.6% interest, compounded semiannually. Assuming that no withdrawals are made, how muc
Zinaida [17]

The amount in account after 7 years is $ 5499.445

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

<em><u>The formula for total amount in compound interest is given as:</u></em>

A = p(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}

A = the future value of the investment/loan, including interest

P = the principal investment amount (the initial deposit or loan amount)

r = the annual interest rate (decimal)

n = the number of times that interest is compounded per unit t

t = the time the money is invested or borrowed for

Here given that,

A = ?

P = 4000

t = 7 years

r = 4.6 \% = \frac{4.6}{100} = 0.046

n = 2 ( since compounded semi annually)

<em><u>Substituting the values in formula, we get</u></em>

A = 4000(1+\frac{0.046}{2})^{2 \times 7}\\\\Simplify\ the\ above\ expression\\\\A = 4000(1+0.023)^{14}\\\\A = 4000(1.023)^{14}\\\\A = 4000 \times 1.37486\\\\A = 5499.445

Thus amount in account after 7 years is $ 5499.445
