Answer:   the top of the ladder is at 24 feet from the ground

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean theorem to solve for the unknown, since we notice that the ladder is the hypotenuse of a right angle triangle formed by the horizontal distance from the wall to the base of the ladder, and the height of the top of the ladder against the wall. We need to find one of the triangle's sides given its hypotenuse and the other side, so we use the formula:

You have a goal of saving to build up a nest egg of $625,357.24, and you are going to make regular deposits to an account that p
Delvig [45]

The monthly deposit required to save up to $625,357.24 (future value) in 40 years at a 7.2% APR is <u>$225.20</u>.

<h3>What is the monthly deposit?</h3>

The monthly deposits are the periodic savings that the investor must make to achieve future value.

The monthly deposit is compounded at the monthly annual percentage rate (APR).

We can compute the required monthly deposits using an online finance calculator as follows:

N (# of periods) = 480 months (40 years x 12)

I/Y (Interest per year) = 7.2%

PV (Present Value) = $0

FV (Future Value) = $625,357.24

<u>Results</u>:

Monthly Deposits (PMT) = $225.20

Sum of all periodic payments = $108,096 ($225.20 x 480)

Total Interest = $517,261.24

Thus, to save $625,357.24 in 40 years, you need to deposit <u>$225.20</u> monthly.
