Answer:

a.) 4 : 9

b.) 16 : 81

Explanation:

a.) Ratio of perimeter will still be

4 : 9

b.) The two similar triangles  ΔABC and ΔDEF as shown from the attached figures. That is

AB/DE = AC/DF = BC/EF

It is apparent that ΔAPB and ΔDEQ are also similar as all respective angles are equal. Hence,

AB/DE = AP/DQ = BP/EQ

Moreso ΔABC = 1/2 × BC × AP  and   ΔDEF = 1/2 × EF × DQ and

ΔAPB/ΔDEQ = BC/EF × AP/DQ

But 

AP/DQ = AB/DE = BC/EF

 and hence

ΔAPB/ΔDEQ = BC/EF × BC/EF

= BC^2/EF^2  and as

BC/EF = AC/DF = AB/DE

ΔAPB/ΔDEQ = AC^2/DF^2 = BC^2/EF^2

= AB^2/DE^2

Hence if sides of two similar triangles are in the ratio a:b, their areas are in the proportion a^2:b^2

As in given case sides are in the ratio of 4:9.

ratio of their areas is 4^2:9^2 or 16:81.

You are studying the population growth of a species of fish. Assuming unlimited resources, no predators, and a constant per capi
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

The projected population size in 2030 will be : ≈ 44159

First step : determine the population growth rate

Gr = change in population / time

    = ( 1500 - 1100 ) / 1 year

    = 400 = 36%

<h3>Determine the projected population size </h3>

applying Malthus's population projection.

Pp = P₁ ( 1 + r )ⁿ

where ; P₁ = 1500, r = 0.36 , n = ( 2030 - 2019 ) = 11 years

Pp = 1500 ( 1 + 0.36 )¹¹

    = 1500 ( 29.439 )

    = 44158.5  ≈ 44159

Hence we can conclude that the projected population size as at 2030 is 44159

the idea that the people have the right to abolish an abusive and unresponsive government was first formally expressed by americ
lawyer [7]

Americans formally stated in the Declaration of Independence that the people have the right to abolish an abusive and unresponsive government.

The Declaration's fundamental principle was that all "men are born and remain free and equal in rights" (Article 1), which were defined as the rights to liberty, private property, person inviolability, and resistance to oppression (Article 2).

The Declaration of Independence was written so that the thirteen colonies could declare their independence from Britain.The Declaration of Independence's introductory sentence states the Declaration's main purpose, which is to explain the colonists' right to revolution.  To put it another way, "to proclaim the reasons for their separation."
