Answer:
25 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: A boat sail 20 miles west of the port and then 15 miles south to an island.
Picture attached.
The distance from port to island could be measured in a straight line. It will form a hypotenous.
∴ we can use Pythogorean theorem to find the distance.
Where, "a" is adjacent= 20 miles and "b" is opposite= 15 miles.
⇒
⇒
⇒
We know .
∴
∴ Distance of Port from the Island is 25 miles.
Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangle is right, solve for x using Pythagoras' identity, that is
x² = 8² + 4² = 64 + 16 = 80
Take the square root of both sides
x = =
=
×
= 4
← exact value
The previous population was 14000.
Explanation
The population decreased by 35% since the last measurement. So the current population is less than the previous population.
current population=9100
previous population =x
current population is 35% less than the previous population x
The previous population was 14000.
