Answer:
(C)72.4 in
Step-by-step explanation:
Given an acute triangle in which the longest side measures 30 inches; and the other two sides are congruent.
Consider the attached diagram
AB=BC=x
However to be able to solve for x, we form a right triangle with endpoints A and C.
Since the hypotenuse is always the longest side in a right triangle
Hypotenuse, AC=30 Inches
Using Pythagoras Theorem

Therefore, the smallest possible perimeter of the triangle
Perimeter=2x+30
=2(21.21)+30
=42.42+30
=72.4 Inches (rounded to the nearest tenth)
A=P(1+r/100)^n
A=500(1+4/400)^24
A=500(1.01)^24
A=634.87

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Population= 280000 people
Population growth rate= 8.5%
Population growth in a year=
{(100+8.5)÷100} × 280000 =303800 people
Pop growth in 8 years =
303800×8=
2,430,400 people
