Mr Chua borrows a sum of money from the bank which charges a compound interest of 4.2% per annum, compounded 6.Given that Mr Chu

Inessa [10]

Answer:

Original sum of money = $2246.51

Step-by-step explanation:

Interest = $96.60

Interest is compounded 6 times in a year ; n = 6

time = 1 year ; Rate of interest (r) = 4.2%

Interest = Future Value - Principal Value ...........(1)

$\text{Future Value = }Principal\cdot (1+\frac{r}{100\times n})^{n\cdot t}\\\\\text{Substituting this value in equation (1) , We get }\\\\Interest=Principal\cdot (1+\frac{r}{100\times n})^{n\cdot t}-Principal\\\\\implies 96.60=Principal[\cdot (1+\frac{4.2}{100\times 6})^{6\cdot 1}-1]\\\\\implies Principal=\$2246.51$

Hence, the original sum of money borrowed = $2246.51

Three friends are playing catch. Zoe is in a straight path 12 feet to the west of alex. Jin is in a straight path 9feet to the n

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

15 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be represented by a right angle triangle, shown in the diagram below.

The distance between Jin and Zoe is the hypotenuse of the triangle, x.

According to Pythagoras theorem,

hyp² = opp² + adj²

Where opp is the opposite side and adjacent is the adjacent side to any angle of consideration (which is not important in this case)

Hence:

x² = 12² + 9²

x² = 144 + 81

x² = 225

Finding the square root:

x = 15 ft

Jin and Zoe are 15 ft apart.
