Answer:D. 36 m

Step-by-step explanation: Use the Pythagorean Theorem, which is a^2 + b^2 = c^2 to find the missing side. C is the hypotenuse. Plug in the numbers.

15^2 + b^2 = 39^2

Simplify.

225 + b^2 = 1521

Subtract 225 from each side.

b^2 = 1296

Square root each side to isolate b.

b = 36

The height of the support beam is 36 m.

Answer:

36 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Using pythagorean theorem, 36² - 15² = 1296. √1296 = 36 meters

Scientists have discovered a vaccine for a debilitating disease. This year there were 570,000 reported new cases of the disease

Ket [755]

Answer: There are approximately 853827 new cases in 6 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Initial population = 570000

Rate at which population decreases is given by

$\frac{2}{3}$

Now,

First year =570000

Second year is given by

$570000\times (\frac{1}{3})$

Third year is given by

$570000(\frac{1}{3})^2$

so, there is common ratio ,

it becomes geometric progression, as there is exponential decline.

so,

$570000,570000\times \frac{1}{3},570000\times( \frac{1}{3})^2,......,570000\times (\frac{1}{3})^6$

a=570000

common ratio is given by

$r=\frac{a_2}{a_1}=\frac{1}{3}$

number of terms = 6

Sum of terms will be given by

$S_n=\frac{a(1-r^n)}{(1-r)}$

We'll put this value in this formula,

$S_6=\frac{570000(1-(\frac{1}{3})^6}{(1-\frac{1}{3})}\\\\=853827.16$

So, there are approximately 853827 new cases in 6 years.
