There are two triangles, a big triangle and a small triangle that is inside the big triangle. Because the base of the triangles are parallel to each other( indicated by the arrow), and the small triangle is perfectly inside the bigger triangle, the sides of the triangles are proportional.

It is know that the base of the small triangle is 3.5, and the hypotenuse of the small triangle is 7cm. it is also known that the the hypotenuse of the big triangle is (7+8)=15 and the base of the big triangle is unknown.

Since the triangles are proportional,
to find the base of the big triangle

base(big)/hypotenuse(big)=base(small)/hypotenuse(small)

Plug in the numbers

x/15=3.5/7
x/15=1/2
x=15/2
x=7.5

The length of the base of the big triangle is 7.5cm

The perimeter of the figure below is 141.8ft. Find the length of the missing side

Irina18 [472]

Answer:8.6

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest way to do this is for you to subtract all the sides from the total perimeter since the perimeter is all of the sides added and your remainder is your answer

Suppose that an insect population’s density, in thousands per acre, during year n, can be modeled by the recursive formula: a1 =

vlabodo [156]

Answer:

The population alternates between increasing and decreasing

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The options of the question are</em></u>

A) The population density decreases each year.

B) The population density increases each year.

C) The population density remains constant.

D) The population alternates between increasing and decreasing

we have

$a_n=2.9(a_n_-_1)-0.2(a_n_-_1)^2$

$a_1=8$

Find the value of $a_2$

For n=2

$a_2=2.9(a_1)-0.2(a_1)^2$

$a_2=2.9(8)-0.2(8)^2=10.4$

Find the value of $a_3$

For n=3

$a_3=2.9(a_2)-0.2(a_2)^2$

$a_3=2.9(10.4)-0.2(10.4)^2=8.528$

For n=4

$a_4=2.9(a_3)-0.2(a_3)^2$

$a_4=2.9(8.528)-0.2(8.528)^2=10.1858$

For n=5

$a_5=2.9(a_4)-0.2(a_4)^2$

$a_5=2.9(10.1858)-0.2(10.1858)^2=8.7887$

therefore

The population alternates between increasing and decreasing

Step-by-step explanation:

A midsegment is a line drawn across a triangle from one side to another that is parallel to the third side. It is also half the length of the parallel side. Here it is called DE.
