Answer:

11

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = LW

We know that the w = 2

We are told that the L (length) is three less than an unknown number so that mean L = (x - 3)

We are then told that the area = 22 square inches.

Area = LW

22 = (x - 3)2

Now solve for x

22 = (x - 3)2

Distribute the 2

22 = 2x - 6

22 + 6 = 2x

28 = 2x

28 / 2 = 2x / 2

14 = x

x = 14

Now take 14 and subtract 3

14 - 3 = 11

Unknown number = 11

Area  = LW

L = 11

W = 2

Area = 22

11 * 2 = 22

The population of a town is decreasing at a rate of 3.2% per year. In 2015, there were 14,250 people. What is the first year tha
notsponge [240]
The answer is D
you would set up an equation like this
14,250 x .032
this will give you how much the population is decreasing per year. Which is 456 people per year.
You then take 2015 and find the difference between that number and 2025 and do it with all of the other years too.
For example 2025-2015 is 10 years
You then take 10 x 456 to tell you how much the of population you lost in those 10 years. You will then take that number which is 4,560 and do 14,250-4,560 to get 9,650.

expeople1 [14]
Formula for surface area of a sphere of radius r is A = 4pi*r^2.

The same formula, for the case where the radius is 2.45 times greater, comes out to A = 4pi*[2.45r]^2.

Just find the ratio of

4pi*r^2 to 4pi*[2.45r]^2.  It is 1/6.
