Answer:

x = 14.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a = 11

b = x

c = 18

plug in and solve

11^2 + x^2 = 18^2

121 + x^2 = 324 - Simplify

x^2 = 203 - subtract 121 from both sides

x = 14.247 rounds to 14.25 - square root on both sides

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is 1/4 because 4 is the greatest common factor (GCF) of both numbers. So you divide both numbers by 4.

4 ÷ 4 = 1

16 ÷ 4 = 4

The population of a town increases at a rate of 5% every year. The population of this town was 10,400 in 2017. What will the pop

galben [10]

Answer:

The population of the town in 2020 will approx. be 12,039.

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial population in the year 2017 = 10,400

Increase in population every yea r = 5%

Now, 5% of 10, 400 = $\frac{5}{100} \times 10, 400 = 520$

Hence, the population in the year 2018 = 10,400 + 520 = 10,920

Now, in the year 2019

5% of 10, 920 = $\frac{5}{100} \times 10, 920 = 546$

Hence, the population in the year 2019 = 10,920 + 546 = 11,466

Now, in the year 2020

5% of 11,466 = $\frac{5}{100} \times 11,466 = 573.3$

or, the population in the year 2020 = 11,466 + 573.3 = 12,039.3

The population of the town in 2020 will approx. be 12,039.
