Yes, you are correct.
From the image, we can see 3 triangles, the large triangle and the two triangles that make the larger triangle.
All 3 of these triangles are similar since they're angle measurements are the same (can be proven by geometry).
We can gather the following information from the given information.
- The largest triangle (the one made up of two triangles) has a hypotenuse of 3+9=12, and a leg length of x. The hypotenuse to leg ratio is 12/x
- The second largest triangle has a hypotenuse length x and leg length 9. The hypotenuse to leg ratio is x/9
We know the hypotenuse to corresponding leg ratio must be equal since these two triangles are similar. Thus, we have the equation:
12/x = x/9
Using the cross product property gives us:
x² = 9 × 12
x² = 108
Taking the square root of both sides gives us:
x = √108
= 6 √3
Thus, your answer is correct. Great job!

Answer:
2,070,281
Step-by-step explanation:
let x = number of years
let y = population
Given:
- initial population = 500000
- rate of increase = 7%
y = 500000 × 1.07^x
when x = 21:
y = 500000 × 1.07^(21) = 2070281.187... = 2,070,281
The slope m of a line

and

is given by :<span>

Thus, the slope of the line passing through points </span><span>(−1, 7) and (2, 10) is
</span>

<span>
The equation of a line with slope m passing through a point P(a, b) is given by
(y-b)=m(x-a).
We can consider any of the points (-1, 7), or (2, 10). Let's choose (2, 10):
y-10=1(x-2)
y-10=x-2
y-x=-2+10
y-x=8
