Answer:
Okay, here's the method I'm going to use.
If you drive north 6 miles, and then drive east 19 miles, you are technically making a triangle.

You are just missing the last side of the triangle: the straight line stretching from across your starting point to the ending point. You can find this by using the Pythagorean theorem.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
6^2 + 19^2 = c^2
36 + 361 = c
397 = c
= 19.924859
Rounded to the nearest tenth, your answer is
19.9 miles
Answer:
$3628.24
Step-by-step explanation:
we use the formula for accrued value (A) with compounded interest:
where A= accrued value (principal plus the accumulated interest)
P = principal -> in our case $6000
r = annual interest rate (in decimal form) -> in our case 0.06
n = number of compoundings per year. In our case 2 (semiannually)
t = time in years -> in our case 8
Since this is the value of principal plus accumulated interest, we subtract from it the principal ($6000) to get the value of just the interest:
$9628.24 - $6000 = $3628.24
