The area of a triangle formal is base times height divided by 2. So 9x 12 which equals 108 then you divide that by 2 which equals 54 and the unit is cm^2
Triangles QST and RST are similar. Therefore, the following is true:
q s
--- = ---- This results in 10q=rs.
r 10
Also, since RST is a right triangle, 4^2 + s^2 = q^2.
Since QST is also a right triangle, s^2 + 10^2 = r^2.
4 s
Also: ---- = ----- which leads to s^2 = 40
s 10
Because of this, 4^2 + s^2 = q^2 becomes 16 + 40 = 56 = q^2
Then q = sqrt(56) = sqrt(4)*sqrt(14) = 2*sqrt(14) (answer)
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The above question is in the form of an exponential decay. The equation for an exponential decay is given by:

where y and x are variables, b < 1, a is the initial value of y (that is the value of y when x = 0).
Let y represent the number of trees left and x represent the number of months. Given that there is currently 2.5 billion trees, therefore a = 2.5 * 10⁹, b = 0.5% = 0.005. The equations becomes:
