Answer: The country's population decreased by about 2.4% during this time period.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

In 1990, the number of people = 167 million

In 2010, the number of people = 163 million

We need to find the percent decrease in the country's population during this time.

Percentage would be

\dfrac{New-Original}{Original}\times 100\\\\=\dfrac{163-167}{167}\times 100\\\\=\dfrac{-4}{167}\times 100\\\\=-2.39\%\\\\=-2.4\%

Hence, the country's population decreased by about 2.4% during this time period.

Please help me on this question
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

The area can be expressed as: \pi r^2+lw.

We have l=10, because 18-2(4)

We have w=8, as given.

Thus, the rectangle area is 80.

There are two semicircles, but they add to form a full circle, which makes things a lot easier. We have the circle area formula, and substituting the values gives us 50.24 as the circle volume

80+50.24=130.24.

Rounded to 1 decimal place that is 130.2

Hope this helps :)
