The legs are 11cm in length.

$27 - 5 = 22 \\ 22 \div 2 = 11$

The population of a particular type of bacteria is known to triple in 22 days. What is the daily growth rate

Paul [167]

Answer: ∛(3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that at day 0 the population was A.

at day 3, the population will be: 3*A

at day 6, the population will be 3*(3*A) = A*3^2

then, at day N = 3*n (where n = 0, 1, 2.....) the population will be:

P(N) = A*3^n

Particularly, if we take n = 1/3 we will have:

N = 3*1/3 = 1

This means that this is the first day after the day 0.

P(1) = A*3^(1/3)

(then in day one, the population grow by a factor of 3^(1/3))

N = 2 is when n = 2/3, then:

P(2) = A*3^(2/3)

The quotient between P(2) and P(1) is equal to the growth between day one and day two, this should be the same as the growth between day zero and day one.

A*3^(2/3)/(A*3^(1/3)) = 3^( 2/3 - 1/3) = 3^(1/3)

So we found that the daily growth rate is 3^(1/3) or ∛(3)

A ream of paper contains 500 sheets of paper. Norm has 373 sheets of paper left from a ream. Express the portion of a ream Norm

Lunna [17]

Answer: In fraction : $\dfrac{373}{500}$

In Decimal : 0.746

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A ream of paper contains 500 sheets of paper.

Norm has 373 sheets of paper left from a ream.

Then, the fraction of ream Norm has will be :-

$\dfrac{\text{Number of sheets left from ream }}{\text{Total sheets in a ream }}\\\\=\dfrac{373}{500}$

To convert in decimal we divide 373 by 500, we get 0.746.

Hence, The portion of a ream Norm has as = $\dfrac{373}{500}$ or 0.746

Is a triangle with sides of 9in, 25in, 24in a right triangle

Veronika [31]

Try the case if the triangle was a right triangle.
Then the longest side, 25, would be c or the hypotenuse.
9^2+24^2=25^2
81+576=625
657=625
This is not a true statement so the triangle is not a right triangle.

Hope this helps :)
