Answer:
Oh man! I totally understand why you are struggling!
Step-by-step explanation:
You want the textbook or the cheat sheet?
Lets go with the cheat sheet.
So, notice the line segments, correct?
The way to find those is Pythagorean Theorem.
The squares of the legs of the triangle add up to the length of the hypotenuse squared. Imagine that the lengths of the sides ARE Hypotenuses. Then, form a triangle, with the legs (Other sides of the triangle except the hypotenuse) either vertically or horizontally(I explain it better below).
In other words, we need to create a right triangle with AB as the hypotenuse to use Pythagorean Theorem. How do we do that?
Count the number of units both vertically and horizontally from point A to B. Essentially, make a horizontal line segment starting at A, and stop it over B. Then, make a vertical line that goes down to B from that ending point (Remember to count the number of units along the way).
Those are your legs. Then, use those measurements in the Pythagorean Theorem:
I'm confident you can solve this! If you know mathematics...
Then, repeat for either AD or BC.
Then, use the formula for area of the Rectangle. How do we know that it is a rectangle? Well, I'm skipping this part because it will take too long to do, but I can explain it later if you want!
Oh, well.
Hope this helps! Stay Safe!

We are told to use simple interest rate. Formula for this is:
Where:
A= total accumulated amount (principal + interest)
P= principal
r= yearly percentage rate
t= number of years
We need to save $19500 for the first year at a college. This is the amount we will have at the account after five years. In our case this is A.
Principal is the amount we need to put into savings to get the total amount needed. In our case this is P.
Yearly percentage rate is the percentage by which our savings increase at the end of a year. In our case this is r.
t is number of years that we are holding our money on the bank account.
To solve this problem we will assume that we are putting same amount each month on the bank account.
We are given:
A=$19500
P=?
r=1.5%
t=5 years
First step is to transform r into decimal number:
Now we get back to our formula and we solve it for P:
We insert numbers and we get our principal:
We need to put $18139.53 into savings to get required amount after 5 years or 5*12=60months. Assuming that we put same amount each month into savings we need to put
This is our solution for this problem. This is closest to the amount we would need to put in real life. In real life we would earn interest onto interest and our monthly amount would be smaller.
