Find the value of y.

Mathematics
1 answer:

\boxed{y=6\sqrt{3}}

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

For a better understanding of the problem I've built up two triangles from the given triangular shape. So these two triangles are similar. Therefore, we can solve this problem by using ratios and corresponding sides in this way:

\frac{x}{3}=\frac{12}{x} \\ \\ x^2=36 \\ \\ x=\sqrt{36} \\ \\ x=6

But our goal is to find y. Let's call w the height of the small triangle, then:

w=\sqrt{6^2-3^2}=3\sqrt{3}

Applying the concept of ratios again:

\frac{y}{w}=\frac{x}{3} \\ \\ y=w \left(\frac{x}{3}\right) \\ \\ y=3\sqrt{3}\left(\frac{6}{3}\right) \\ \\ \boxed{y=6\sqrt{3}}

Question 22 A city has a population of people. Suppose that each year the population grows by . What will the population be afte
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

911,690.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please consider the complete question.

A city has a population of 390,000 people. Suppose that each year the population grows by 6.75%. What will the population be after 13 years? Round your answer the nearest whole number.

We will use exponential growth formula to solve our given problem.

y=a\cdot (1+r)^x, where,

y = Final value,

a = Initial value,

r = Growth rate in decimal form,

6.75\%=\frac{6.75}{100}=0.0675

y=390,000\cdot (1+0.0675)^x

y=390,000\cdot (1.0675)^x

To find the population after 13 years, we will substitute x=13 in population growth equation as:

y=390,000\cdot (1.0675)^{13}

y=390,000\cdot 2.3376661492982871

y=911689.798226331969

Upon rounding to nearest whole number, we will get:

y\approx 911,690

Therefore, the population of the city after 13 years would be 911,690.
