DC/AC=EC/BC
x/(x+3)=10/16
10(x+3)=16x
10x+30=16x
30=6x
x=5
DC=x=5
DC=5 units long

10/16=DE/AB, DE=y

10/16=y/10
16*y=10*10
y=6.25≈6.3
DE≈6.3

A=1000\left(1+\frac{0.03}{1}\right)^{1\cdot 2}\implies A=1000(1.03)^2$

is that enough to pay the $1100?

now, let's write 1000(1+r)² in standard form

1000( 1² + 2r + r²)

1000(1 + 2r + r²)

1000 + 2000r + 1000r²

1000r² + 2000r + 1000 <---- standard form.
