I believe you get 10 dollars in interest.
1000/7 = <span>142.857142857
Because this is not an even number we take "142", then times it by 7 teachers.
142*7= 994
1000 - 994 = 6 Pencils left</span>
If we draw a perpendicular line from one of the vertices of the triangle we get 2 right angled triangles each with altitude 9 ins and vertex angle = 30 degrees. So:-
cos 30 = 9 /h where h = one of the sides of the equilateral triangle
h = 9 / cos 30 = 10.392 inches
Therefore the perimeter of the triangle = 3 * 10.392 = 31.1769 ins
Answer is 31.18 inches to the nearest hundredth.
