compound interest equation for annually compounded

A=P(1+r)^t

A=final amount

P=principal

r=rate in decimal

t=time in years


given that

A=1550

P=1000

r=5.5%=0.055

find t


1550=1000(1+0.055)^t

divide both sides by 1000

1.55=1.055^t

take ln of both sides

ln(1.55)=ln(1.055^t)

use ln rule ln(a^b)=b(ln(a))

ln(1.55)=t(ln(1.055))

divide both sides by ln(1.055)

\frac{ln(1.55)}{ln(1.055)}=t

using a calculator, we get that t=8.18544 yrs

so about 8.2yrs

Answer:

We divided the figure into 1 triangle and 2 rectangles.

Adding up the area of them, we get the total area:

A = 14 x (10 + 8 + 12 - 16)/2 + 8 x 5 + 6 x (12 + 8)

   = 258 (yd2)

Hope this helps!
