Answer:

<em>1710 trees up to 2016 (not including 2016)</em>

<em>2100 trees up to 2016 (including 2016)</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Farm started with 30 trees in 2007.

Every year 40 more trees than the previous year.

It is actually an Arithmetic Progression (AP) with

First term, a = 30 and

Common Difference, d = 40

The AP will look like:

30, 70, 110, 150, ....

We have to find the sum of this AP upto 9 terms and 10 terms:

9 terms sum will give us the total number of trees up to 2016 (not including 2016).

10 terms sum will give us the total number of trees up to 2016 (including 2016).

Formula for sum of 'n' terms of an AP:

S_n=\dfrac{n}{2}(2a+(n-1)d)\\\Rightarrow S_9=\dfrac{9}{2}(2\times 30+(9-1)40)\\\Rightarrow S_9=\dfrac{9}{2}(60+320)\\\Rightarrow S_9=\dfrac{9}{2}(380)\\\Rightarrow S_9=9 \times 180 = 1710

S_{10}=\dfrac{10}{2}(2\times 30+(10-1)40)\\\Rightarrow S_{10}=5(60+360)\\\Rightarrow S_{10}=5 \times 420\\\Rightarrow S_{10}=2100

<em>1710 trees up to 2016 (not including 2016)</em>

<em>2100 trees up to 2016 (including 2016)</em>

Corey spent $17.00 including sales tax on 2 sandwiches and 3 drinks the sandwiches cost $5.25 each and the total sales tax was $
AlekseyPX
First we can subtract the sales tax so we are just working with what's left: $17 - $0.92 = $16.08. Then we multiply the price of the sandwiches by 2 for the number Corey bought: 5.25 x 2 = $10.50. Then subtract that amount from what you have left: $16.08 - 10.50 = 5.58. Then, take that amount and divide it by three drinks: $5.58 / 3(drinks) = $1.86 per drink. I don't see the table so I hope this answers the question well enough!:)

A square patio has an area of 135 square feet. How long is each side of the patio to the nearest tenth?
Kryger [21]
11.6 because the square root of 135 is 11.61885.... and when you check it is approximately 135 because 11.6 *11.6 = 134.56, which can be rounded to 135

V=pir^2h solve this equation for h
Nady [450]
Since we are solving for h, the equation:

V = πr²h

...divides πr² to the other side. Thus, it becomes....

\frac{V}{ \pi r^2} = h

Which can be rewritten as....

h = \frac{V}{ \pi r^2}
