\bf ~~~~~~ \textit{Compound Interest Earned Amount}
\\\\
A=P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}
\quad 
\begin{cases}
A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\
P=\textit{original amount deposited}\to &\$6000\\
r=rate\to 8.25\%\to \frac{8.25}{100}\to &0.0825\\
n=
\begin{array}{llll}
\textit{times it compounds per year}\\
\textit{quarterly, thus four}
\end{array}\to &4\\
t=years\to &4
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
A=6000\left(1+\frac{0.0825}{4}\right)^{4\cdot 4}\implies A=6000(1.020625)^{16}\\\\

Answer:

∠ A ≈ 44.42°

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the cosine ratio in the right triangle

cos A = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}  = \frac{AC}{AB} = \frac{5}{7} , then

∠ A = cos^{-1} (\frac{5}{7} ) ≈ 44.42° ( to the nearest hundredth )
