Answer: 12.32 is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation: Using the pythagorean thereom we can solve this by using the formula A^2+B^2=C^2.

We substitute in the values,

17^2+B^2=21^2.

Now we simplify.

289+B^2=441

We subtract the 289 from both sides,

B^2=152

Now we use square root to find the answer.

12.32 is the answer.

Hope this helps!

At what interest rate (to the nearest hundredth of a percent) compounded annually will money in savings double in five years?

Sphinxa [80]

For a single payment with compound interest, the equation to use is F=P(1+i)^n where F is the value after n periods, P is the present value, and i is the interest rate.

If we want the final value F to double in 5 years, F is then equal to P then n=5. The equation is now:

2P=P(1+i)^5
2=(1+i)^5
i=14.87% per year
