Is it possible to construct a triangle with the given lengths? 17, 37, 53

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

In any triangle, the sum of any two sides must be larger than the third side. To test this, we only actually need to pick the two shorter sides. In this case, the following inequality is true:

$17+37>53,\\54>53,\\\text{True}\:\checkmark$

In 2010, a city's population was 1,405,233 and it was decreasing at a rate of 1.1%. At this rate when will the city's population

frez [133]

The equation
                                            P(t) = 1405233 * (1 - 0.011)^(t)
models the population at t years after 2010. Then, when P(t) = 1,200,000, we have
                                 1200000 = 1405233 * (0.989)^t
                                  (0.989)^t = 1200000/1405233
                                                t = log(1200000/1405233)/log(0.989)
                                                t = 14.27 years
This means 14.27 years after 2010. Therefore, the answer to this question is 2024.
