$\bf \textit{area of a trapezoid}\\\\ A=\cfrac{h(a+b)}{2}~~ \begin{cases} a,b=&\stackrel{bases}{parallel}\\ &sides\\ h=&height\\ \cline{1-2} a=&2\\ b=&6\\ A=&24 \end{cases}\implies 24=\cfrac{h(2+6)}{2}\implies 24=\cfrac{h(8)}{2} \\\\\\ 24=4h\implies \cfrac{24}{4}=h\implies 6=h$

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%
