Answer:

392

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangles XQP and YRS are right triangles because triples 6, 8, 10 are Pythagorean triples.

Extend lines XQ, YR, YS and XP and mark their intersection as A and B.

Quadrilateral XAYB is a square because all right triangles PXQ, QAR, RYS and SBP are congruent (by ASA postulate) and therefore

  • all angles of the quadrilateral XAYB are right angles
  • all sides of XAYB are congruent and equal to 6 + 8 = 14 units.

Segment XY is the diagonal of the square XAYB, by Pythagorean theorem,

XY^2=XA^2+AY^2\\ \\XY^2=14^2+14^2\\ \\XY^2=196+196\\ \\XY^2=392

The initial population of a town in the year 2010 was 20 000. By 2014, the population had grown exponentially to 32 500 people.
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

  P = 20000×1.625^(n/4)

Step-by-step explanation:

An exponential equation can be written using the given data:

  value = (initial value)×(growth factor in period)^(n/(period))

Here, the growth is by a factor of 32500/20000 = 1.625, and the period is 4 years. Then your exponential equation is ...

  P = 20000×1.625^(n/4)

Answer:

odd: 4/7

not 3: 6/7

4 or 5:  2/7

spinner spun 2: there both 1/7 i think im

only in 7th grade ;-;

Step-by-step explanation: well there are 7 spaces so the probabilty

of it landing on an odd space on the wheel is how many odd numbers there are over 7 . and there is only 1 three so the chance that it will not land on 3 is 6/7.  there is a 2/7 chance it will land on 4 or 5. and im not to sure abt the last one but like i said im  only in the 7th grade i am taking p classes tho so the rest should be right. :D

Liana is studying the activity of nurse sharks. She starts at a position that is 25 feet below sea level. She rises 9 feet, then
Reil [10]

Answer:

I believe the answer is -28

Step-by-step explanation

I gotchu bro

The answer is -28 because Liana starts at 25 below sea level (which is the same thing as -25) If she rises 9 feet, then you know to add because she is going up so your just gonna add. Next she descends 12 feet, so she went down, so subtract. So i know the answer is going to be -28 because -25+9 is -16, then imma subtract -16 and 12 so, -16 - 12= -28. There ye go
