ABCD is a square with diagonals intersecting at E. What is the length of BE

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The attached square

Required

Find BE

First, we calculate BD (the diagonal) using Pythagoras theorem.

Since the shape is a square, then

So:

Take square roots

BE is half BD.

So:

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.
