Answer:
about 340,000
Step-by-step explanation:
In 10 years, the population dropped to 0.88 of what it was in 2010. At the same rate, in 20 more years, it will drop to 0.88² of what it was in 2020:
2040 population = 440,000·0.88² ≈ 340,000
Given that we assume that all the bases of the triangles are parallel.
We can use AAA or Angle-Angle-Angle to prove that these triangles are similar.
Each parallel line creates the same angle when intersecting with the same side.
For example:
The bases of each triangle cross the left side of all the triangle.
Each angle made by the intersecting of the the parallel base and the side are the same.
Thus, each corresponding angle of all the triangles are congruent.
If these angles are congruent, then we have similar triangles.
Answer:
7z + 5 + 6z - 9 (Add 7z and 6z, subtract 9 from 5)
<em>13z - 4 </em>(Can't be simplified further)
Question 9
Given the segment XY with the endpoints X and Y
Given that the ray NM is the segment bisector XY
so
NM divides the segment XY into two equal parts
XM = MY
given
XM = 3x+1
MY = 8x-24
so substituting XM = 3x+1 and MY = 8x-24 in the equation
XM = MY
3x+1 = 8x-24
8x-3x = 1+24
5x = 25
divide both sides by 5
5x/5 = 25/5
x = 5
so the value of x = 5
As the length of the segment XY is:
Length of segment XY = XM + MY
= 3x+1 + 8x-24
= 11x - 23
substituting x = 5
= 11(5) - 23
= 55 - 23
= 32
Therefore,
The length of the segment = 32 units
Question 10)
Given the segment XY with the endpoints X and Y
Given that the line n is the segment bisector XY
so
The line divides the segment XY into two equal parts at M
XM = MY
given
XM = 5x+8
MY = 9x+12
so substituting XM = 5x+8 and MY = 9x+12 in the equation
XM = MY
5x+8 = 9x+12
9x-5x = 8-12
4x = -4
divide both sides by 4
4x/4 = -4/4
x = -1
so the value of x = -1
As the length of the segment XY is:
Length of segment XY = XM + MY
= 5x+8 + 9x+12
= 14x + 20
substituting x = 1
= 14(-1) + 20
= -14+20
= 6
Therefore,
The length of the segment XY = 6 units
