In situations such as this one, why not look up the technical vocabulary, so that you can be sure of its meaning? I did that and found that my recollection of "inconsistent equations" was correct.
TRUE.
Total length of the board = 30 inch
Length of,
-- First piece = x
-- Second piece = 4x
-- Third piece = 5x
5x + 4x + x = 30
10x = 30
x = 3
Therefore, the lengths of:
-- First piece = 3 inch
-- Second piece = 4*3 = 12 inch
-- Third piece = 5*3 = 15 inch
No, the Pythgorean Theorem only applies to right triangles. To get two right triangles, you divide a rectangle diagonally. Dividing a hexagon into two pieces produces trapezoids or pentagons depending where it is divided.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The population in 2003= 47000
Since the population increase by 1200 every year,
in 2004 the population will be 47000+1200
in 2005 the population will be 47000+(1200+1200) which is the same as
47000+2(1200) where 2 is 2 years after 2003,
Therefore the population x years after 2003 is 47000+x(1200).
P= 47000+1200x
b) The population at 2009 which is 6 years after 2003 will be
47000+(1200)*6=47000+7200= 54200
The population at 2009 is 54200,
