Answer:
there was a 16% increase since 2010 to 2012
Step-by-step explanation:
lets say the train had 100 people on it in 2010 and in 2011 it had an 8% increase which then brings you to 8 plus 100 and you get 108.
Now in 2012 there was an increase 8%, so you will add 8 to your previous answer 108 and receive 116. So now there was 16 more passengers in 2012 than in 2010. Transfer the 16 passengers into 16% and you now have your answer.
The answer is the point of intersection, (2,1)
First, we need to find the base. To do so, we will need to use the Pythagorean Theorem on one of the smaller triangles to solve for its unknown side. Then, we can double the base of the one to find the base of the whole.
Pythagorean Theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2
(12)^2 + b^2 = (16)^2
144 + b^2 = 256
b^2 = 112
b = 
b = 
total base = 2 x
= 
Second, we can find the area. The formula for the area of a triangle is A = 1/2 x base x height.
A = 1/2 x
x 12
A =
x 12
A =
units^2
Third, we can find the perimeter. The perimeter is the sum of all of the exterior sides.
P = 16 + 16 +
P = 32 +
units
