Answer:

the common ratio is 0.98.

Step-by-step explanation:

A fish population in a lake decreases by 2% each year. We are asked to find the common ratio.

The decrease of population of fish 2% annually means the population becomes next year 100% - 2% = 98%

Therefore, the common ratio would be 98%. Upon converting 98 percent to a decimal we will get,

98% = \frac{98}{100}=0.98

Therefore, the common ratio or decay factor is 0.98.

M&lt;2=4x+12 <br> Someone help
Katarina [22]
X=12. So this one says that it has 3 congruent sides so therefore it has to have 3 congruent angles. Here we have angle 2 and we have angle 60. Given the definition of triangle congruence, we can say that 60 is angle 2 and that the third angle is also 60 but it’s not relevant in this problem. So knowing that angle 2 is 4x+12 we solve for x by seeding that equal to 60 and then solving for x we get x=12. Hope this helps!!!!

Determine the shortest segment in △ PQS and △ QRS. Remember that a segment is named by its endpoints (two letters).
irinina [24]

Answer: QS and QR are the shortest segment of the triangle ΔPQS, and ΔSQR respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

ΔPQS, and ΔSQR,

Consider, ΔPQS,

As we know that " the length opposite to the largest angle is the shortest segment."

So, According to the above statement.

\angle QPS=63\textdegree\\\\\text{So, QS is the shortest segment of this triangle}

Similarly,

Consider, ΔSQR,

Again applying the above statement, we get that,

\angle QSR=75\textdegree\\\\\text{ So, QR is the shortest segment of this triangle}

Hence, QS and QR are the shortest segment of the triangle ΔPQS, and ΔSQR respectively.
