Two friends are standing at opposite corners of a rectangular courtyard. The dimensions of the courtyard are 12 ft. by 25 ft. How far apart are the friends?

27.73 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean theorem. It easiest to think of the distance between the two friends as a triangle in the rectangle. One side is 12ft and the other is 25ft.

12^2+25ft^2=769

The square root of 769 is 27.73

the answer is 200

step-by-step explanation:

the way the question is worded, it seems to imply the $264 interest is simple interest, not compound interest.

the simple interest for 2 years is $264; the simple interest for 1 year is $132.

$132 interest on a $600 investment means an interest rate of (132/600)*100 = 22%.

the value of $200 at 22% interest compounded annually for three years is

200%281.22%29%5e3

the amount of interest is that value, minus the original $200.
