Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

pool tables are rectanglar

Perimeter = 2L + 2W      =  2(L+W)   ---->>>    Perimeter/2  = L + W  =

         Perimeter/2 - W  =  L

        Area = L×W     

Two equations and two unknowns and  L is substituted into the area equation  

 ---->>  Area = (Perimeter/2 - W) x W

          Area = (Perimeter x W)/2  - W²              solve for W

Area = 36 and  Perimeter = 26

       36 ft² = (26)( W)/2 ft  - W² ft²

       36 ft² = 13W ft - W² ft²

        W² - 13W + 36 = 0            quadratic equation factor solve for W

         (W - 4)(W - 9)  = 0            

There are two roots

        W - 4 = 0   and W - 9 = 0

        W = 4  and  9         W = 9  it doesn't make sense  needs to be < L

Perimeter/2 - W = L

         L = 26/2 - W

            = 13 - 4

         L = 9 ft  and   W = 4 ft

5700 is compounded semiannually at a rate of 15% for 12 years
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

$32,335.38

Step-by-step explanation:

You are going to want to use the compound interest formula, which is shown below.

P(1+\frac{r}{n} )^{nt}

<em>P = initial balance </em>

<em>r = interest rate </em>

<em>n = number of times compounded annually </em>

<em>t = time</em>

<em />

Now lets plug in the values into the equation:

5,700(1+\frac{.15}{2})^{12(2)} = 32,335.38

Your answer is $32,335.38
