Answer: The required width of the park is 3 miles.
Step-by-step explanation: Given that a 5 mile jogging path diagonal divides a rectangular park in half and the park is 4 miles long.
We are to find the width of the park.
As shown in the attached figure below, the diagonal BD divides the rectangle ABCD into two equal parts,
where length DA = 5 miles, BD = 4 miles and AB = width = ?
Since each angle of a rectangle is right-angle, so triangle ABD will be a right-angled triangle.
Using Pythagoras theorem in triangle ABD, we have
Thus, the required width of the park is 3 miles.
This problem is about componded interest. The formula for compounded interest is:
In this case, Initial = 300, r = 0.06 and t=10 so the total amount in the account after 10 years is:
The amount after 10 years is 573.26.
