Answer: 17,203 people

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for solving this is;

$P(t) = P_{0} (2)^{t/dt}$

Where;

P(t) is the population at time t

$P_{0}$ is the initial population

t is the year of interest

dt is the amount of time it takes to double.

$P(t) = P_{0} (2)^{t/dt}$

$P(2) = 16,237 (2)^{2/24}$

= 17,202.50

= 17,203 people

The perimeter of (the distance around) ABCD is 66, and DC is twice as long as CB. How long is AB?

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

$AB=22\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In this problem ABCD is a rectangle

so

DC=AB

BC=AD

Let

BC ---> the length of rectangle

DC ---> the width of rectangle

we know that

The perimeter of rectangle is equal to

$P=2(BC+DC)$

we have

$P=66\ units$

so

$66=2(BC+DC)$

simplify

$33=BC+DC$ ----> equation A

$DC=2BC$ ----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A

$33=BC+2BC$

Solve for BC

Combine like terms

$33=3BC$

Divide by 3 both sides

$BC=11\ units$

<em>Find the value of DC</em>

$DC=2BC$ ----> $DC=2(11)=22\ units$

Remember that

DC=AB

therefore

$AB=22\ units$

2. Three points of a parallelogram are (4, 3), (-4, 3), and (2, 3). Find the coordinates of the 4th point to complete the parall

antiseptic1488 [7]

Parallelograms have equal and parallel opposite sides

<em>The coordinates of the 4th point is (-2,3)</em>

Let the parallelogram be ABCD, such that:

$A = (4,3)$

$B =(-4,3)$

$C = (2,3)$

A and B have the same y-coordinates, while their x-coordinates are additive inverse

This means that:

The y-coordinates of point C and point D will be the same, while their x-coordinates will be additive inverse.

<u>For point C</u>

We have:

$x = 2$

$y = 3$

<u>For point D</u>

The coordinates would be:

$x =- 2$

$y = 3$

Hence, the coordinates of D is (-2,3)

Steve makes a banner with an area of 8 square feet. On a grid, draw all possible rectangles with an area of 8 square feet and si

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

The correct answers are with side lengths 1 feet and 8 feet, the perimeter is 18 feet; and with side lengths 2 feet and 4 feet, the perimeter is 12 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangular banner is 8 square feet.

The side lengths of this rectangular banner are whole numbers.

Thus the possible pairs of side lengths that would give 8 when multiplied with each other are (1 , 8) ; (2 , 4).

So the possible side lengths are 1 feet and 8 feet or 2 feet and 4 feet.

The perimeter when the side lengths are 1 feet and 8 feet are 18 feet.

The perimeter when the side lengths are 2 feet and 4 feet are 12 feet.
