Answer: 13.29%

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to calculate the compound amount (compounded continuously) is given by :-

A=Pe^{rt}, where P is the principal amount , r is the rate of interest ( in decimal) and t is the time period.

Given : P= $ 35,000 , A=  $257,000 and t=15 years

To find : r , we substitute all the values in the above formula , we get

257000=(35000)e^{15r}\\\\\Rightarrow\ e^{15r}=\dfrac{257000}{35000}\\\\\Rightarrow\ e^{15r}=7.3428

Taking natural log on both the sides , we get

15r=\ln(7.3428)\\\\\Rightarrow\ 15r=1.9937\\\\\Rightarrow\ r=\dfrac{1.9937}{15}0.132913333333\approx0.1329=13.29\%

Hence, the annual interest rate = 13.29%

You plant a rectangular rose garden along the side of your garage. You enclose 3 sides of the garden with 40 feet of fencing. Th
solmaris [256]

Let's assume

length of rectangle =L

width of rectangle =W

You enclose 3 sides of the garden with 40 feet of fencing

so, we get

L+2W=40

now, we can solve for L

L=40-2W

we know that

area of rectangle is

A=L*W

100=L*W

now, we can plug

100=(40-2W)*W

now, we can solve for W

-2W^2+40W-100=0

we can use quadratic formula

W=\frac{-40+\sqrt{40^2-4\left(-2\right)\left(-100\right)}}{2\left(-2\right)}

W=\frac{-40-\sqrt{40^2-4\left(-2\right)\left(-100\right)}}{2\left(-2\right)}

we can take anyone value ..because both are giving positive value

first dimensions:

W=2.929

now, we can find L

L=40-2*2.929

L=34.142

so, length is 34.142feet

width is 2.929 feet

Second dimensions:

W=17.071

now, we can find L

L=40-2*17.071

L=5.858

so, length is 5.858feet

width is 17.071 feet

Complete the paragraph proof. We are given that ∠B ≅ ∠C. Assume segment AB is not congruent to . If AB &gt; AC, then m∠C &gt; m∠
Lorico [155]

Given that ∠B ≅ ∠C.

to prove that the sides AB = AC

This can be done by the method of contradiction.  

If possible let AB \neq=AC

Then either AB>AC or AB<AC

Case i:  If AB>AC, then by triangle axiom, Angle C > angle B.

But since angle C = angle B, we get AB cannot be greater than AC

Case ii:  If AB<AC, then by triangle axiom, Angle C < angle B.

But since angle C = angle B, we get AB cannot be less than AC

Conclusion:

Since AB cannot be greater than AC nor less than AC, we have only one possibility. that is AB =AC

Hence if angle B = angle C it follows that

AB = AC, and AB ≅ AC.
