Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
The compound interest formula is where:
- P is the starting amount called the principle
- r is the rat written as a decimal
- n is the number of times compounded in a year
- t is the number of years
Substitute a value into each variable to solve.
- P = $147 since 10% of 1,470 is being invested which makes P = 0.10(1470) = 147.
- The rate is 3.5% or r = 0.035.
- n = 12 because it is compounded monthly meaning 12 times a year.
- t = 25 since it will earn for 25 years.
Repeat this process for each formula.
Answer:
11.6 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
I attached a diagram for you to easily visualize this problem.
To solve this problem, you would use the pythagorean theorem. The 12-ft ladder is the hypotenuse and the 3 ft from the barn is one of the side legs. You want to find the length of the "other side leg", or the height of the barn.
Substitute 3, 12, and x into the pythagorean theorem like so.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
3^2 + x^2 = 12^2
Evaluate the exponents.
9 + x^2 = 144
Subtract 9 from both sides.
x^2 = 135
Square root both sides.
x = 11.618
Round this to the nearest tenth: 11.6 feet.
