1 answer:
Answer:
25 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
If square has a perimeter of 20 inches, the length of each side is:
After cutting the square in half, we are left with two rectangles of 5 in x 2.5 in
Attaching those two smaller rectangles by their short end (2.5 in side), gives us a new rectangle with a height of 2.5 in and a length of 10 in (sum of the 5 in sides in each rectangle). The perimeter of this new rectangle is:
The perimeter is 25 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:
The populational growth is exponential with a factor of 1.12 each year. An exponential function has the following general equation:
Where 'a' is the initial population (25,000 people), 'b' is the growth factor (1.12 per year), 'x' is the time elapsed, in years, and 'y(x)' is the population after 'x' years.
Therefore, the function P(t) that models the population in Madison t years from now is:
