Answer: a) 8.779 years
b) 8.664 years
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
a)

- A: accumulated amount (balance)
- P: principal amount (original/initial investment)
- r: interest rate (convert to a decimal)
- n: number of times compounded per year
- t: number of years
Given: A = 1800, P = 900, r = 8% = 0.08, n = 3, t = unknown

b)


To find the area of this rectangle you multiply the length by the width, like so (x+2) x (2x+5) .
To find the perimeter of this rectangle you add all the sides using this equation,
(x+2)+(x+2)+(2x+5)+(2x+5) .
It’s b and d ? Both of those equations are the same if u haven’t noticed
Remark
You need 2 facts to solve this
1. The area of a hexagon is
A = 3*(sqrt(3) ) * a^2/2
Just to make this clear, I'll put it in Latex

2. The second fact you need to know is that the radius = the length of the side a.
Givens
r = 20 in
a = r where a is the length of the side of a hexagon.
Formula Substitute and solve.
A = 3*(sqrt(3) * a^2 ) / 2
A = 3*(sqrt(3) * 20^2) / 2
A = 3*sqrt(3) * 400 / 2
A = 3*sqrt(3) * 200
A = 3*1.7321 * 200
A = 1039 square inches.
Answer:
It is 50 cm squared hxb/2=a
