Hi there! So the situation that we are talking about for this is compounding, because the population is growing.. The formula for compounding something is P(1 + r)^t, with P representing the initial amount, r representing the rate, and t representing the time in years. First off, let's add the rate into 1. 1.2% is 0.012 in decimal form. 1 + 0.012 is 1.012. Now, because we are looking for the population after 4 years. We raise 1.012 to the 4th power. 1.012^4 is 1.04887093274. It's a long decimal, but do not delete this number from your calculator. Now, we multiply that number by 38,300 in order to get 40,171.7567238 or 40,172 when rounded to the nearest whole number. There. The population of Huntersville will be 40,172 people in 4 years.
7/12*6/14
7*6=42
12*14=168
=42/168
=0.25 =1/4
Okay. So I find it easiest to calculate the full area as if the shape was a rectangle, then subtracting open space. We already know that length is 100, so now we just need to find width. 50 + 25 + 50 + 25 + 50 = 200. 200 x 100 =20,000. So now we just need to find the areas of open space and subtract. Both spaces have a length of 75 and a width of 25. 25 x 75 = 1875. There were 2 spaces, and 1875 x 2 = 3,750. 20,000 - 3,750 = 16,250.
The area of the figure is 16,250 feet.
