\bf \begin{array}{|cc|ll} \cline{1-2} \stackrel{x}{year}&\stackrel{y}{dolphins}\\ \cline{1-2} &\\ 1950&12000\\ 2018&3600 \\&\\ \cline{1-2} \end{array}~\hspace{5em}(\stackrel{x_1}{1950}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{12000})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{2018}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{3600}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{3600-12000}{2018-1950}\implies \cfrac{-8400}{68}~~\approx~~ \stackrel{\textit{rate of change}}{-123.53}


-8400/68 simplifies to to -2100/17,  dolphins/year, so 2100 less dolphins every 17 years.

and we can just divide those to get the decimal amount of -123.53, which means, 123.53  less dolphins every year.

of course, there's no such a thing as 0.53 of a dolphin, so, we can say "about" 123 less dolphins per year.

Can someone help me with this question please !
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

a) A triangle which the angles ratio is 1 : 2 : 3 is a 30º - 60º - 90º right triangle.

b) The shortest side is opposite to the shortest angle. So, we can calculate it using sin 30º.

$\text{sin}(30\º)=\frac{\text{Opposite side to x}}{19} $

$\frac{1}{2} =\frac{\text{Opposite side to x}}{19} $

$\text{Opposite side to x}= 9.5$
