Answer:
1000
Step-by-step explanation:
If the number of protesters per minute remains a constant, then you could write the proportion ...
p/12 = 177/2.1
Multiplying by 12 gives ...
p = 12(177/2.1) ≈ 1011.4
Here, minutes are given to 2 significant figures, and the initial count is given to 3 significant figures. The best you can hope for is that your estimate is good to 3 significant figures:
1010 protesters
It is probably sufficient to report the number to 2 significant figures*:
1000 protesters
_____
* Unfortunately, with a number like 1000, the only way you can tell it has 2 significant figures is to report it as 1.0×10³ or 10. hundreds. The trailing zeros are usually not considered significant.
16 ft
Explanation
Step 1
because the ligth comes in the same angle, we have 2 similar triangles .
so,as the triangles are similar,the ratio of the shorter leg to the bigger leg must be equal.
Step 2
solve for h
therefore, the heigth of the tree is 16 ft
The problem gives you X, so replace X witht he given vaule and solve for y:
y = -0.1x^2 + 4X
X = 40
y = -0.1(40)^2 +4(40)
y = -0.1(1600) + 160
y = -160 + 160
y = 0
If the 316 is supposed to be 3/16 and the 34 is supposed to be 3/4, then your answer is 2.
