It is given that area( Δ ab c) =6 square units.

Also ab║d e

⇒b d =4 b c

I have depicted picture below.

Consider Δ cde in which points a and b are in the interior such that ab║de.

So, as you know that if in a triangle line joining two points is parallel to third side then the two sides are proportional.i.e

⇒ca/ae =cb / bd

Also, ∠ c is common.

∴Δcab is similar to Δ cde.

As we know if ratio of areas of two similar triangles is  square of their corresponding sides.

 =\frac{Ar(Δcab)}{Ar(Δcde)}=[\frac{cb}{bd}]^2

⇒6/Δcde =1/4

⇒Ar (Δ cde)=6×4

Ar (Δ cde) =24 square centimeter

77julia77 [94]

Answer:

Present value =  $4,122.4

Accumulated amount = $4,742

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Amount at the Start of money flow = $1,000

Increase in amount is exponentially at the rate of 5% per year

Time = 4 years

Interest rate = 3.5%  compounded continuously

Now,

Accumulated Value of the money flow = 1000e^{0.05t}

The present value of the money flow = \int\limits^4_0 {1000e^{0.05t}(e^{-0.035t})} \, dt

= 1000\int\limits^4_0 {e^{0.015t}} \, dt

= 1000\left [\frac{e^{0.015t}}{0.015} \right ]_0^4

= 1000\times\left [\frac{e^{0.015(4)}}{0.015} -\frac{e^{0.015(0)}}{0.015} \right]

= 1000 × [70.7891 - 66.6667]

= $4,122.4

Accumulated interest = e^{rt}\int\limits^4_0 {1000e^{0.05t}(e^{-0.035t}} \, dt

= e^{0.035\times4}\times4,122.4

= $4,742
