Let say the mainsail length and width is L1 and W1, staysail length and width is L2 and W2. 
<span>The base and height of the triangular mainsail of a sailboat are 1.5 times greater than the base and height of the boat's triangular staysail. That mean:
L1 = 1.5L2
W1 =1.5 W2

</span>How many times greater is the area of the mainsail than the area of the staysail?area1/area2 =
L1*W1 / L2*W2 =
1.5L2 * 1.5W2/ L2*W2 = 1.5 * 1.5= 2.25 times

makkiz [27]

Answer:

4,600

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we need to multiply add 15% of 4,000 back to 4,000.

First, change 15% into a decimal:

15% -> \frac{15}{100} -> 0.15

Next, multiply 4,000 by 0.15:

x= 4,000(0.15)

x=600

The last step is to add the 600 back to 4,000:

4,000 + 600 = 4,600

The population of Smallburg the following year was 4,600.
