Let the equal sides of the isosceles Δ ABC be x.
Given that the perimeter of Δ ABC = 50m.
Therefore, 2x + AC = 50 --- (1)
It is also given that the perimeter of Δ ABD = 40m.
Therefore, x + BD + AD = 40
BD is the median of the Δ ABC. Therefore, D is the midpoint of AC.
So AD = CD.
Or, AD = AC
Therefore,
Multiply both sides by 2.
2x + 2BD + AC = 80
From (1), 2x + AC = 50.
Therefore, 2BD + 50 = 80
2BD = 80 - 50
2BD = 30
BD = 15m.
Answer:
The population will reach 34,200 in February of 2146.
Step-by-step explanation:
Population in t years after 2012 is given by:
In what month and year will the population reach 34,200?
We have to find t for which P(t) = 34200. So
Solving a quadratic equation:
Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:
.
This polynomial has roots such that
, given by the following formulas:
In this question:
So
Then
We only take the positive value.
134 years after 2012.
.14 of an year is 0.14*365 = 51.1. The 51st day of a year happens in February.
So the population will reach 34,200 in February of 2146.
