Answer:
x ≈ 10.7 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given triangle in the picture is a right triangle.
By applying Pythagoras Theorem in this triangle.
(Hypotenuse)² = (Leg 1)² + (Leg2)²
(14)² = x² + 9²
x² = (14)² - 9²
x = 10.72
x ≈ 10.7 ft.
You can solve this analytically to get
.. 55000*(1 +x/100)^10 = 108193
.. (1 +x/100)^10 = 108193/55000
.. 1 +x/100 = (108193/55000)^(1/10)
.. x = 100*((108193/55000)^(1/10) -1) ≈ 7.00
but I find it just as fast to have a graphing calculator do it.
The city's population is increasing 7% per year.
