Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a taingle adds up to 180 degrees if that helps
In this case we are dealing with the pythagorean theorm involving right angled triangles. This theorm states that a^2 + b^2 = c^2 which means the square of the hypotenuse (side c, opposite the right angle) is equal to the square of the remaining two sides.
In this case we will say that a = 3963 miles which is the radius of the earth. c is equal to the radius of the earth plus the additional altitude of the space station which is 250 miles; therefore, c = 4213 miles. We must now solve for the value b which is equal to how far an astronaut can see to the horizon.
(3963)^2 + b^2 = (4213)^2
b^2 = 2,044,000
b = 1430 miles.
The astronaut can see 1430 miles to the horizon.
The answer is 30720
A = P * rⁿ
A - the final population
r - the growth rate
P - the initial number of bacteria
n - the number of hours
We know:
A = ?
r = 2 (it doubles)
P = 15
n = 12
After 11 hours
A(11) = 15 * 2¹²
A(11) = 15 * 2048
A(11) = 30720
After 12 hours
A(12) = 15 * 2¹²
A(12) = 15 * 4096
A(12) = 61440
<span>How many bacteria are grown during the 12th hour?
A(12) - A(11) = 61440 - 30720 = 30720</span>
