Answer:

When we are considering distance in relation to a fixed point

Step-by-step explanation:

When we consider , the distance of an object relative to a fixed point, it will make sense to compare the absolute values of numbers rather than the numbers themselves.

For instance, the depth of an object below see level is -32.

And also, the height of an object above see level 12.

This time it wouldn't make sense to to compare the numbers themselves to see which is farther from sea level but rather their absolute value.

What is the volume of the prism
Scilla [17]
Hey there :)

We know the volume formula of triangular prism
Volume = base x height of prism
             = \frac{1}{2} (base)(height)(height of prism)

We are given:
The base = 8 in
The height = 15 in
You do not need the 17 in ( it is there to trick you )
The height of the prism = 10 in

Apply the formula,
V = \frac{1}{2} (8)(15)(10)
   = 600 in³

Your final answer will be the last option

LenKa [72]

The question supplied is incomplete. The complete question is shown below:

The Gross national product (GNP) is the value of all the goods and services produced in an economy, plus the value of goods and services imported, less the goods and services exported. During the period of 1994-2004, the GNP of Canada grew about 4.8% per year, measured in 2003 dollars. In 1994, the GNP was $5.9 billion. Assuming this rate continues, in what year with the GNP reach $10 billion?

Answer:

2006

Step-by-step explanation:

Every year, the new GNP will become (100 + 4.8)% of that of the previous year. That is 104.8%, and equivalent of 1.048.

Let P(y) be the GNP after a period of y years.  

After y years, the equation for calculating A(y) becomes

A(y)=5.9*(1.048)^y

Since A(y) = 10

10=5.9*(1.048)^y

10/5.9 =(1.048)^y

1.695=(1.048)^y

ln⁡(1.695) = ln⁡(1.048)^y

ln⁡(1.695) = y ln⁡1.048

y=ln⁡1.695/ln⁡1.048  

y=11.26 years

1994 + 12 = 2006

Canada’s GNP will reach $10 billion in the year 2006
