Answer:
845.6306
Step-by-step explanation:
Firstly this is annuity based
Let, investment at beginning of year = <em>x</em>
Then value at year 1 end = x + (8.2% x)
Value at end of year 2 = (x + 0.082x) + (8.2% (x + 0.082x))
Now this value = $990
Therefore,
990 = (x + 0.082x) + ((x + 0.082x) 8.2%)
990 = x + 0.082x + 0.082x + 0.006724x = 1.170724x
x = 990/1.170724 = 845.6306
42 square units
<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>For a better understanding, I add an EFGH Rectangle.
The area of EFGH Rectangle = p x l
The area of EFGH Rectangle = 10 x 8
The area of EFGH Rectangle = 80cm²
The area of BHA Triangle = 1/2 x a x t
The area of BHA Triangle = 1/2 x a x t
The area of BHA Triangle = 1/2 x 6 x 4
The area of BHA Triangle = 2 x 6
The area of BHA Triangle = 12cm²
The area of AGD Triangle = 1/2 x a x t
The area of AGD Triangle = 1/2 x 4 x 2
The area of AGD Triangle = 4cm²
The area of CFD Triangle = 1/2 x a x t
The area of CFD Triangle = 1/2 x 2 x 6
The area of CFD Triangle = 6cm²
The area of BEC Triangle = 1/2 x a x t
The area of BEC Triangle = 1/2 x 8 x 4
The area of BEC Triangle = 4 x 4
The area of BEC Triangle = 16cm²
The area of the trapezoid = EFGH Rectangle - (BHA Triangle + AGD Triangle + CFD Triangle + BEC Triangle)
The area of the trapezoid = 80 - (12 + 4 + 6 + 16)
The area of the trapezoid = 80 - 38
The area of the trapezoid = 42cm²
<h3>Conclusion :</h3>The area of the trapezoid is <u>42 square units</u>
