Answer:
The answer to your question is 25 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
height = 20 ft
leg = 15 ft
length of the line = ?
To solve this problem use the Pythagorean theorem.
Height = short leg = b
leg = long leg = a
length of the line = hypotenuse = c
- Substitution
c² = (20)² + (15)²
-Simplification
c² = 400 + 225
c² = 625
-Result
c =
c = 25 ft
As we already have the model that describes the change of the population in Italy in terms of the years that have elapsed, we only have to replace the conditions that are requested in that equation.
Therefore to find the population of Italy in the year 2000 (t = 10 years) substitute t = 10 in the equation and have:
million people
To find the population of Italy in 2008 (t = 18 years)
substitute t = 18 in the equation and have:
million people
To predict the population in Italy for 2015 and 2020 with this model, we substitute in the equation t = 25 and t = 30
t = 25
million people
t = 30
million people
