Answer:

13 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a square and draw a diagonal line through it. It creates a right triangle. So we can then use the Pythagoras theorem to find the length of the object at it's max. so we do a^2+b^2=c^2. So we do (12*12) + (5*5) = 169 and the square root of 169 is 13.

Here is Triangle A. Lin created a scaled copy of Triangle A with an area of 72 square units. a. How many times larger is the are
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Triangle A is attached in the image below.

The base of triangle A is 3 units and its height is 3 units. The area of a triangle  is given as:

Area = (1/2) × base × height

Area of triangle A = (1/2) × base × height = (1/2) × 3 × 3 = 4.5 unit²

Area of the scaled copy = 72 unit²

Ratio of area = Area of the scaled copy / Area of triangle A = 72 unit² / 4.5 unit² = 16

Hence the scaled copy area is 16 times larger than that of triangle A.

b) For the scaled copy:

Area of the scaled copy = (1/2) × base × height = 72 unit²

base × height = 144

Since the base and height are equal

base² = 144

base = 12, also height = 12

Base of scaled copy = 12 = 4 × base of triangle A

Therefore the scale factor used is 4

The fish population in a local stream is decreasing at a rate of 3% per year. The original population was 48,000. Write an expon
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

Results are below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Decrease rate (d)= 7%

Number of periods (n)= 7 years

Current population (PV)= 48,000

<u>First, to calculate the future value, we need to use the following decrease exponential formula:</u>

<u />

FV= PV*[(1+d)^-n]

<u>After 7 years:</u>

FV= 48,000*(1.07^-7)

FV= 29,892
