Function CylinderArea(D,L)

• Define a Mathcad function CylinderArea(D,L) that
  requires the diameter (D) and length (L) of a
  cylinder as arguments, then calculates the
  surface area of a cylinder, and returns a vector
  that contains the area of the ends, the area of
  the lateral side, and the total surface area.

Function Pythagorean(a,b)

• Write a function in Mathcad that is called using
  the statement Pythagorean(a,b), where a and b
  represent the legs of a right triangle. The
  function should return a three-element vector,
  where the first vector is the length of the
  hypotenuse, and the next two elements are the
  acute angles of the triangle in units of degrees.

Program balance(P,n,f,i)

• In you deposit P dollars at an annual interest
  rate of i compounded monthly, each month interest
  in the amount P ? (i/12) is deposited into your
  account, providing a new principle of P P ?
  (i/12).
• Write a program that takes as inputs the
  principle (P), the annual interest rate (i), the
  number of compounding periods per year (f), and
  the number of years over which the principle is
  kept in the bank (n), and returns the total
  amount of money in the account at the end of that
  period.
