Answer: 216 square units

====================================================

Explanation:

A common pythagorean triple you may be familiar with is the 3-4-5 right triangle. This has two legs of 3 and 4, and a hypotenuse of 5. The perimeter is 3+4+5 = 7+5 = 12. Note how this is a factor of 72.

If we multiply the perimeter (12) by 6, then 12*6 = 72. So we have scaled the triangle by a factor of 6. Each length is 6 times longer

the side length 3 becomes 3*6 = 18

the side length 4 becomes 4*6 = 24

the side length 5 becomes 5*6 = 30

The new perimeter is 18+24+30 = 42+30 = 72

The last step is to find the area. The two legs of this triangle are the base and height

area = 0.5*base*height

area = 0.5*18*24

area = 9*24

area = 216

-----

Or you could find the area of the 3-4-5 right triangle to get

area = 0.5*base*height = 0.5*3*4 = 6

then multiply by 36 to get 6*36 = 216. The 36 is the square of the scale factor 6 we applied above. The new lengths are 6 times longer, so the new area is 6^2 = 36 times larger.

The population size after 6 years and after 8 years are 147 and 169 population respectively

<h3>Exponential functions</h3>

The standard exponential function is expressed as y = ab^x

where

a is the base

x is the exponent

Given the function that represents the population size P (t) of the species as shown;

p(t)=\frac{550}{1+5e^{-0.1t}} \\

For the population size after 6 years

p(t)=\frac{550}{1+5e^{-0.1(6)}} \\P(6)=\frac{550}{3.744}\\ P(6)=147 population

For the population after 8 years

p(t)=\frac{550}{1+5e^{-0.1(8)}} \\P(8)=\frac{550}{3.2466}\\ P(8)=169 population

Hence the population size after 6 years and after 8 years are 147 and 169 population respectively
