Answer:

4.6 km

Step-by-step explanation:

-This is a Pythagorean Theorem problem where the distances walked are effectively the base and height of the imaginary right triangle thereof.

#Apply Pythagorean theorem to solve:

b^2+h^2=H^2\\\\2^2+x^2=5^2\\\\x^2=5^2-2^2=21\\\\x=\sqrt{21}\\\\x=4.58\  km

\approx 4.6\ km

Hence, the distance x is 4.6 km

The general equation use to calculate increasing or decreasing values

P(t) = A(1 + r)^t

where:
P = New value
A = original or starting amount
r = rate (can be either increasing(+) or decreasing(-))
t = time period that increase/decrease take place.

So after 1 year at 3.8% interest
P = 7500(1 + 0.038)^1
P = 7500(1.038)
P = 7,785

Then after 1 year at 5.35 interest
P = 7500(1 + 0.053)^1
P = 7500(1.054)
P = 7,897.50
