Well, to find the perimeter we have to add all of the side lengths, so let's do that:
2x+3 +2x+3 +2x
And we know that this equals 36 so let's solve for x
2x+3+2x+3+2x = 36
6x+6 = 36
6x = 30
x = 5
So we know know that x = 5.
Now all you have to do is plug in the values of x into the lengths
2(5) + 3
= 10+3
= 13 is the length of two of the sides.
2x
= 2(5)
= 10
And 10 is the length of the last side.
First, convert R percent to r a decimal
r = R/100
r = 7%/100
r = 0.07 per year,
Then, solve our equation for A
A = P(1 + r/n)nt
A = 200.00(1 + 0.005833333/12)(12)(5)
A = $ 283.53
Summary:
The total amount accrued, principal plus interest,
from compound interest on an original principal of
$ 200.00 at a rate of 7% per year
compounded 12 times per year
over 5 years is $ 283.53.
