Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for compound annual interest is  A = P(1 + r)t  where  

A = Accumulated or final amount  (double $500 = $1000)  

P = Principal or original amount  ($500)  

r = Rate as a decimal (0.08)

t = Time in years  

1000 = 500(1 + 0.08)t

2 = 1.08t  

Take the logarithm of both sides.  I prefer the natural logarithm ln, but if you're more comfortable with base 10 logs they will work just as well  

ln(2) = ln(1.08t)  

ln(2) = t*ln(1.08)

t = ln(2)/ln(1.08)

t = 9.0065 years  

Check:  500*1.089.0065 = $1000

Find the surface area of the figure shown. 5 cm 5 cm cm 1.5 cm 8 cm your answer​
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

51 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

the formula for area of an icoselese triangle is
A = b * h / 2
h is a line from the angle where the 5 and 5 intersect to the middle of the third line
You can find h using the pythagoran theorm with the 5 being the hypotenuse and the a being half the third line

4^2 + b^2 = 5^2
16 + b^2 = 25
b = 3, so h = 3, so now
A = 8 * 3 / 2
A = 24 / 2
A = 12 cm^2

now we have the triangle, just multiply that by 2 (top and bottom)
12 * 2 = 24

sides
8 * 1.5 = 12
5 * 1.5 * 2 = 15

now add all of it
15 + 12 + 24 = 51

Joshua makes earrings to sell at craft fairs. Each pair of earrings contains the same number of wooden beads as glass beads. For
nlexa [21]

Answer: 50 pairs.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each pair of earrings, Joshua spends $0.29 + $0.11 in materials.

So he spends $0.40 for each pair of earrings.

If he has $20, we want to know how many times he can spend $0.40.

For this, we take the quotient:

$20/$0.40 = 50

This means that we can sperate $20 into 50 times $0.40.

So he can buy enough material to make 50 pairs of earrings.
