Sumara Kato's savings account has a balance of $1663. After 19 years, how much interest

lesantik [10]

Answer: $2936.27

Step-by-step explanation:

Present value = $1663

Rate = 5.5%

Time(n) = 19years

Future value= PV(1+r)^n

= 1663(1+5.5%)^19

= 1663(1.055)^19

=1663 × 2.766

=4599.86

Interest = Future value - Present value

= $4599 - $1663

= 2936

The height of a trapezoid can be expressed as x – 4, while the bases can be expressed as x + 4 and x + 9. if the area of the tra

AlexFokin [52]

Answer: 19 cm

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

$A_{trapezoid}=\frac{b_{1}+b_{2}}{2}*h$

99 = $\frac{(x+4 + x+9}{2}*(x - 4)$

99 = $\frac{(2x + 13}{2}*(x - 4)$

198 = (2x + 13)(x - 4)

198 = 2x² + 5x - 52

0 = 2x² + 5x - 250

0 = 2x²- 20x + 25x - 250

0 = 2x(x - 10) + 25( x - 10)

0 = (2x + 25)(x - 10)

0 = 2x + 25 or 0 = x - 10

$-\frac{25}{2}$ = x or x = 10

Since length cannot be negative, $-\frac{25}{2}$ can be disregarded

Larger base: x + 9 = 10 + 9 = 19
