Here we use the formula for compound interest given by:
A=p(1+r/100*n)^(nt)
where:
A=amount=
p=principle=12000
r=rate=0.1
n=# terms=2
t=time=10 years
thus;
A=12000(1+0.1/2)^(2*10)
A=31839.6

Well if it was 8 hours in the morning and 7 in the evening per day of the week it would be 105 divided by 2 for the number of sessions would equal to 52.5 sessions. if it was just that amount of time from that whole week, it would be 15 hours divided by 2 which would give you 7.5... Did that help?

Mr Floyd is laying grass squares in his backyard. He will cover the entire yard except for the vegetable garden. How many square

Alenkasestr [34]

Here we can first find the area of yard and then subtract the area of vegetable garden to get the required area.

The formula to find area is given by:

$A = l* w$

Now we find area of yard:

length is 25 ft and width is 15 ft.

$A = 25 * 15$

Area of yard = 375 ft²

Area of vegetable garden:

length = 8ft and width =8ft

So the vegetable garden is a square.

Area = 8*8

Area of vegetable garden =64 ft²

Area of backyard to be laid with grass = Area of yard-Area of vegetable garden

Area required = 375 -64 = 311 ft²

Answer : The area of backyard in which grass is to be laid is 311 square feet.

The distance between the two points rounding to the nearest tenth<br> (-8,-6) and (-3,-4)

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

5.4

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance between two points, $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ , plug them into the following equation:

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}\\d=\sqrt{(-3-(-8))^2+(-4-(-6))^2}$

Two negatives make a positive

$d=\sqrt{(-3+8)^2+(-4+6)^2}\\d=\sqrt{(5)^2+(2)^2}\\d=\sqrt{25+4}\\d=\sqrt{29}\\d=5.4$

Therefore, the distance between the two points rounded to the nearest tenth is 5.4.

I hope this helps!
