Question 1 of 10 diana invested $3000 in a savings account for 3 years. she earned $450 in interest over that time period. what interest rate did she earn? use the formula i=prt to find your answer, where i is interest, p is principal, r is rate and t is time. enter your solution in decimal form rounded to the nearest hundredth. for example, if your solution is 12%, you would enter 0.12

Hey there!!

The question states that a sum is invested which is $3000 and hence, this would be counted as the principle amount or the principle sum.

The term given is 3 years, which gives us the idea that this interest is being counted or being active for 3 years.

She ( Diana ) earned the sum $450 at the end of three years. This means, the simple interest is $450.

Never get confused with the principle amount, principle sum and interest.

Principle amount = Principle sum + The interest.

Formula given :

I = prt

'p' is denoted as the principle sum, r is the rate and the t is the term or the number of years.

Now, plugging in all the values :

... 450 = 3000×r×3

... 450 = 9000×r

... r = 450 / 9000

... r = 0.05

... r = 5%

As we need the answer in the decimal form, the answer would be 0.05

Hope my answer helps!!

3. parallelogram

step-by-step explanation:

we turn each of our sides into direction vectors

ab=b-a=(3 - 7, 1 - 0) = (-4, 1)

bc=c-b=(1,6)

cd=d-c=(4,-1)

da=a-d=(-1,-6)

we see how the opposite sides have negated direction vectors; this is characteristic of a parallelogram.   we have congruent sides ab=cd and bc=da with unequal lengths because 1^2+6^2 is different from (-4)^2+1^2.   so it's not a square or a rhombus.  

we check the dot product of direction vectors of adjacent sides.   we have

ab dot bc = -4(1) + 1(6) = 2

that's not zero so the sides are not perpendicular.   we've ruled out rectangle.

the direction vectors indicate two pairs of congruent parallel sides, so we choose parallelogram over trapezoid.

the answer is 31.27mph
