Answer:

She would need to leave the money in her account for 6 years and 8 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a simple interest problem.

The simple interest formula is given by:

E = P*I*t

In which E are the earnings, P is the principal(the initial amount of money), I is the interest rate(yearly, as a decimal) and t is the time.

After t years, the total amount of money is:

T = E + P.

In this question:

She put 500 into the saving account, so P = 500

7.5% annual interest, so I = 0.075

Saving $750. So we need T = 750.

Interest earned:

T = E + P

750 = E + 500

E = 250

How long to earn $250 in interest, in years:

E = P*I*t

250 = 500*0.075*t

t = \frac{250}{500*0.075}

t = 6.67

Converting to months:

6.67 years, that is, 6 years and (2/3) of an year.

An year has 12 months.

(2/3)*12 = 8.

So

She would need to leave the money in her account for 6 years and 8 months.

d = 16.76 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We can extend the definition of the Pythagorean theorem to 3-dimensions:

d =  \sqrt{ {x}^{2} +  {y}^{2}  +  {z}^{2}  }

Let x = 10 in

y = 10 in

z = 9 in

d =  \sqrt{ {(10)}^{2} +  {(10)}^{2}  +  {(9)}^{2}  }

d =  \sqrt{281}  = 16.76 \: in
