5000 at 12% compound quarterly compared interest earned after 5 year's

A = P(1+r÷100)^n

where A is amount after some days

r is the rate

n is the number of years

p is the principle (the amount of money before the interest)

A = 5000 ( 1 + 12÷100)^5

A = 8811.70

A = 8812

step-by-step explanation:

points a and b are equidistant from the desired line, so the line you find by using them will go through point r.

using points other than a and b will give the desired line only if they are equidistant from r. if they are randomly located, the perpendicular line you create will not necessarily go through point r, hence will not be a solution to the problem.
