Answer:
SAS requires two congruent sides and the included angle be also congruent
Given is the picture are congruent triangles
<u>ΔACB ≅ ΔECD, because:</u>
- AC ≅ EC, given
- BC ≅ DC, given
- ∠ACB ≅ ∠ECD, vertical angles

General Idea:
The angles which occupy the same relative position at each intersection where a straight line crosses two others. If the two lines are parallel, the corresponding angles are equal.
The angles that are formed on opposite sides of the transversal and inside the two lines are alternate interior angles. The theorem says that when the lines are parallel, that the alternate interior angles are equal.
Applying the concept:
Angles PBC and BAD are congruent by the <u>Corresponding Angle Theorem</u>.
Angles ABC and BAT are congruent by the <u>Alternate Interior angle Theorem</u>.
The point is to find the growth rate. The compound formula is:
P=A(1+ growth rate)ⁿ, where A is the initial Value & P the new value after n years:
P₂₀₀₃ =P₂₀₀₂ (1+ growth rate)¹ (the period "n" from 2002 to 2003 being 1 year)
38400 = 32000(1+growth rate)¹
38400 / 32000 - 1= growth rate & growth rate = 1/5 = 0.2
You will balso find the same growth rate for:
P₂₀₀₄ = P₂₀₀₃(1+ growth rate)¹
P₂₀₀₅ = P₂₀₀₄((1+ growth rate)¹
between 2015 & 2002 THERE ARE 14 YEARS:
P₂₀₁₅ = P₂₀₀₂(1+0.2)¹⁴ & P₂₀₁₅ = 32000(1+02)¹⁴ = 410,854
