The estimate for the total population size is 1600.

Setting up a proportion for this, we know that 150 out of our 300 turtle sample is marked; this is the first ratio for the proportion.  We also know that we marked 800 of our total population, which we will call x:

150/300 = 800/x

Cross multiply:
150*x = 300*800
150x = 240000

Divide both sides by 150:
150x/150 = 240000/150
x = 1600

Which three lengths could be the lengths
Fed [463]

Given:

The three lengths in the options.

To find:

Which three lengths could be the lengths of the sides of a triangle?

Solution:

If the sum of two smaller sides is greater than the largest side, then the three sides can form a triangle otherwise the triangle is not possible.

In option A, the three sides are 4 cm, 8 cm, 13 cm. Here, the largest side is 13 cm.

Sum of two smaller sides is:

4+8=12

4+8

So, the triangle is not possible.

In option B, the three sides are 13 cm, 11 cm, 23 cm. Here, the largest side is 23 cm.

Sum of two smaller sides is:

13+11=24

13+11>23

So, the triangle is possible.

In option C, the three sides are 5 cm, 18 cm, 12 cm. Here, the largest side is 18 cm.

Sum of two smaller sides is:

5+12=17

5+12

So, the triangle is not possible.

In option D, the three sides are 25 cm, 8 cm, 16 cm. Here, the largest side is 25 cm.

Sum of two smaller sides is:

8+16=24

8+16

So, the triangle is not possible.

Therefore, the correct option is B. The three lengths 13 cm, 11 cm, 23 cm could be the lengths of the sides of a triangle.

A)$150 at 3 % interest for 2 years
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

A)  159.135 = X

B) 2,531.25 = X

C)  6,187.5 = X

D) 831,947.46 = X

Step-by-step explanation:

The following investments are required to be calculated:

A) $ 150 at 3% interest for 2 years

B) $ 750.00 at 1/2% interest for 3 years

C) $ 2,250.00 at 1 3/4% interest for 1 year

D) $ 2,550.00 at 3 1/4 interest for 4 years

Therefore, the following calculations must be performed:

A)

150 x (1 + 0.03) ^ 2 = X

150 x 1.03 ^ 2 = X

159.135 = X

B)

750 x (1 + 0.5) ^ 3 = X

750 x 1.5 ^ 3 = X

2,531.25 = X

C)

2,250 x (1 + 1.75) = X

2,250 x 2.75 = X

6,187.5 = X

D)

2,550 x (1 + 3.25) ^ 4 = X

2,550 x 4.25 ^ 4 = X

831,947.46 = X
