Answer:

<u>US</u>

  • 0 parallel lines
  • optionally, one or two (opposite) angles may be 90°

<u>World</u>

  • 2 parallel lines
  • optionally, one line perpendicular to the two parallel lines

Step-by-step explanation:

It depends on where you are. A "trapezium" outside the US is the same as a "trapezoid" in the US, and vice versa.

A trapezium (World; trapezoid in the US) is characterized by exactly one pair of parallel lines. One of the lines that are not parallel may be perpendicular to the parallel lines, but that will only be true for the specific case of a "right" trapezium.

__

A trapezium (US; trapezoid in the World) is characterized by no parallel lines. It <em>may</em> have one angle or opposite angles that are right angles (<em>one or two sets of perpendicular lines</em>), but neither diagonal may bisect the other.

In the US, "trapezium" is rarely used. The term "quadrilateral" is generally applied to a 4-sided figure with no sides parallel.

The population of a city is 45,000 and decreases 2% each year. If the trend continues, what will the population be after 15 year
Sloan [31]
The answer is 31,500.
Let's clarify some things :
1% of 45,000 is 450
Maybe you're wondering why , it's actually very simple .
Just move the decimal to the left once if you want to find 10% , move the decimal twice if you want to find 1%.
We now that 1% equals 450. Then 2% equals to....
Well just add another 1% .
450 + 450 or 450 times 2
Which equals 900.
Now we want to find what's the population after 15 years.
900 times 15= 13,500
But that's not the answer ....
That's what is decreasing.
45,000 - 13,500= 31,500
That's why the answer is 31,500.
