Using decimal multipliers, it is found that a rate of return of 5.2% in the third year will produce a cumulative gain of 16%.
The <u>decimal multiplier</u> for a increase of a% is given by:

In this problem, two increases of 5%, thus:

Another of x, that we want to find, and the result is a increase of 16%, thus:

The three increases(5%, 5% and x%) result in a increase of 16%, thus:



1.052 - 1 = 0.052
A rate of return of 5.2% in the third year will produce a cumulative gain of 16%.

To best estimate the volume of the log, we assume that the diameter is the average of the diameters at both ends giving us 12 inches as the diameter. Thus, the radius is equal to 0.5 ft. The volume of the log is calculated through the equation,
V = πr²h = π(0.5 ft)²(10 ft) = 7.85 ft³
I hope this helps in answering your question! If you have any inquiries to the solution, feel free to leave a comment!
They aren't independent since the probability uses all the cards in the deck
So at the first deal we have the chance of 26/52 of getting a red card, at the second deal we have the chance of a 25/51 of getting another red card, so they aren't independent
From calculations, we can say that the given tiles will not fit together perfectly.
<h3>How to find the sum of interior angles of a Polygon?</h3>
If the tiles join perfectly at a point, sum of all angles around the joining point should be 360°.
Expression for the measure of the interior angle of a polygon,
Interior angle of a polygon = [(n - 2) * 180]/n
Interior angle of a pentagon = [(5 - 2) * 180]/5 = 108°
Interior angle of a hexagon = [(6 - 2) * 180]/6 = 120°
Interior angle of an octagon = [(8 - 2) * 180]/8 = 135°
To prove that the given tiles fit together perfectly → Sum of all the angles around the common point should be 360°
Sum of all interior angles = 108° + 120° + 135° = 363°
Therefore, given tiles will not fit together perfectly.
