Answer:

BD is 3.75 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

BA = 6 units

CA = 8 units

DC = 5 units

To Find:

BD = ?

Solution:

Triangle Angle Bisector Theorem.

An angle bisector of an angle of a triangle divides the opposite side in two segments that are proportional to the other two sides of the triangle.

I.e Here in Δ BAC,

AD is the Bisector of ∠ A

∴ \frac{BA}{CA}= \frac{BD}{DC}

Substituting th above given values in it we get

∴ \frac{6}{8}= \frac{BD}{5}

∴ BD = 5\times \frac{6}{8} \\\\BD = \frac{30}{8} \\\\BD = 3.75\ units\\

Therefore BD is 3.75 units

A population is growing continuously at a rate of 5%. If the population is now 3400, what will it be in 17 years? Round to the n
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

In 17 years time, the initial population of 3400, and growing at a rate of 5% will be ≈ 7792

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have that the formula for population presented as follows;

A = P(1+r)^t

Where:

A = Population after growth

P = Original population = 3400

r = 5% = 0.05

t = Time = 17 years

Population growing at a rate of 5% is thus given by the plugging in the above values into the population growth formula thus;

A = 3400 \times (1+0.05)^{17} = 7792.86

Since we are presenting data relating to number of people, we round alwys down as the statistics should represent the number of whole people on ground.

Therefore, in 17 years time, the initial population of 3400, and growing at a rate of 5% will be ≈ 7792.
