We have been given that a huge ice glacier in the Himalayas initially covered an area of 45 square kilo-meters. The relationship between A, the area of the glacier in square kilo-meters, and t, the number of years the glacier has been melting, is modeled by the equation .
To find the time it will take for the area of the glacier to decrease to 15 square kilo-meters, we will equate and solve for t as:
Now we will switch sides:
Let us take natural log on both sides of equation.
Using natural log property , we will get:
Therefore, it will take years for area of the glacier to decrease to 15 square kilo-meters.
Difference between the area of the triangle and square is 25
Step-by-step explanation:
- Step 1: Find the area of the triangle given its 3 sides using the Heron's formula.
Area of the triangle = where s =
⇒ s = (6 + 8 + 10)/2 = 24/2 = 12
=
= =
= 24 sq. units
- Step 2: Find the area of the square with perimeter = 28 units.
Perimeter of the square = 4 × side = 28
⇒ Side of the square = 28/4 = 7 units
⇒ Area of the square = (side)² = 7² = 49 sq. units
- Step 3: Find the difference between the area of the square and triangle.
Difference = 49 - 24 = 25
