First, convert those inches to feet.
7in =ish 0.5833333
(you find this by dividing 7/12 on a calculator)
Now you just square 9.583333333
9.583333333^2
9.583333333 * 9.583333333
91.84027777ish
Rounded to the nearest foot, means the answer is 92ft.

The principal represents an amount of money deposited in a savings account subject to

RSB [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

So the general formula for compound interest is $A = P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}$ where t is typically time in years, and n is how many times it's compounded per year. But in this case it's only compounded 1 time per year so the equation is just $A = P(1+r)^t$ . in this case P is the principal amount, r is the interest, and A is the final amount. So the 5% interest rate becomes 0.05 by dividing by 100 to convert it into decimal form and the principle amount of 11,000. This gives you the formula $A = 11000(1.05)^t$ . This is the answer to the first question where t is the time in years. When it says "Find interest earned" I'm a bit confused, is it giving you x amount of years where you have to calculate the interest earned or does it want a general equation? Because the general equation would be the final amount - the principle amount which calculates the difference. So the equation for interest earned would be $11000(1.05)^t-11000$ . To calculate the amount of money after 5 years you simply plug in 5 as t. this gives you the equation $11000(1.05)^5 \approx 11000(1.276) \approx 14,039.10$
