The interest rate is 7.69%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Interest = $200

Time = t = 30 months

Time will be converted into years as the rate is applied yearly

So,

1 year = 12 months

30 months = 30/12 years = 2.5 years

Principal amount = $1040

The formula for interest is:

$I = P*r*t$

Putting the values

$200 = 1040 * r * 2.5\\200 = 2600r\\r = \frac{200}{2600}\\r = 0.076923$

Converting into percentage:

r = 7.6923

Rounding off to nearest hundredth

r = 7.69%

Hence,

The interest rate is 7.69%

Find the area of the regular figure below:

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

1,496.49 cm squared

Step-by-step explanation:

The regular figure below is a hexagon.

The formula for the area of a regular hexagon is $A = \frac{3\sqrt{3} }{2} a^2$ . Here a = 24. Substitute and simplify for the area.

$A = \frac{3\sqrt{3} }{2} a^2\\A = \frac{3\sqrt{3} }{2} 24^2\\A = \frac{3\sqrt{3} }{2} * 576\\A = 1496.49$
