are both the same length. Find the length of each piece of string.

To start this problem, we know that one of the three pieces that the string is cut into is 15 meters longer than the others. Subtract 15 from 42 to get 27.
Then, from there, you can cut that number (<em>divide</em>) by three to get the length of the two shorter strings. Simply add the 15 meters you didn't use yet to one of the pieces to find the longer string, and you have your lengths.

Hope this helps!

Find the distance between the points (<br> -<br> 10,12) and (15,12).
Nitella [24]
The distance formula is:

d= \sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2}

We are given two points in the form (x,y), so plug in the values to the distance formula:

d= \sqrt{(-10-15)^2-(12-12)^2}

Next we can simplify. We know that 12-12 is 0, so we can drop it from the equation, as it will not affect our answer. Also, we know that -10-15 is -25:

d= \sqrt{(-25)^2}

The square and square root cancel each other out leaving us with 25.

The answer is 25.

An animal reserve has 40,000 elk. The population increases 11% a year. How long tell the population is equal to 80,000. If someo
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

7 years (This answer is to the nearest year)

Step-by-step explanation:

The way you could work this out is by trial and error. 11 % a year means that its population increases by 4400 annually. 40,000 X 1.11^1 gives you the amount it would be after one year (44000). I got the 1.11 because of the percentage (0.11) plus the amount you need to do percentage increase (1). Then all you do is keep on going up till you hit the number you need (80,000) after about 7 years the total would have hit 80,000 and would have actually went past it (83046)
