Answer:

The country's population increased by about 16.73% during this time period.

Step-by-step explanation:

Percent increase:

The percent increase is given by the change multiplied by 100 and divided by the initial value.

In 1990, the population was about 263 million people In 2014, the population was about 307 million people.

Change: 307 - 263 = 44

Initial population: 263

Percentage increase:

44*100/263 = 16.73%

The country's population increased by about 16.73% during this time period.

Suppose that LMN is isosceles with base LN suppose that M

ira [324]

Given:

In an isosceles triangle LMN, LM=MN.

$m\angle M=(3x+17)^\circ,m\angle L=(2x+36)^\circ$

To find:

The measure of the angles L, M and N.

Solution:

In triangle LMN,

$LM=MN$ (Given)

$m\angle N=m\angle L=(2x+36)^\circ$ (Base angles of an isosceles triangle are equal)

Now,

$m\angle L+m\angle M+m\angle N=180^\circ$

$(2x+36)^\circ+(3x+17)^\circ+(2x+36)^\circ=180^\circ$

$(7x+89)^\circ=180^\circ$

$(7x+89)=180$

On further simplification, we get

$7x=180-89$

$7x=91$

$x=\dfrac{91}{7}$

$x=13$

The value of x is 13. Using this value, we get

$m\angle L=(2(13)+36)^\circ$

$m\angle L=(26+36)^\circ$

$m\angle L=62^\circ$

Similarly,

$m\angle M=(3(13)+17)^\circ$

$m\angle M=(39+17)^\circ$

$m\angle M=56^\circ$

And,

$m\angle N=m\angle L$

$m\angle N=62^\circ$

Therefore, the measure of angles are $m\angle L=62^\circ,m\angle M=56^\circ,m\angle N=62^\circ$ .

Which is an equation of the line that is perpendicular to 3x+y=-5 and passes through the point (3, -7)?

nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

y+7=1/3(x-3) in point slope

y=1/3x-8 in slope intercept form

Step-by-step explanation:

First put 3x+y=5 in slope-intercept form (y=mx+b)

y=-3x+5

Give that the slope is -3 the perpendicular slope would be 1/3

now using the points (3.-7)

y+7=1/3(x-3) in point slope

y=1/3x-8 in slope intercept form

Here are the heights (in inches) of 12 students in a seminar.

Gala2k [10]

Answer: 75%

Step-by-step explanation:

Height given :

69, 62, 73, 67, 63, 65, 73, 71, 70, 66, 59, 75

The total number of height given = 12

The height less than 73 are 69 , 62, 67 ,63 , 65 , 71 , 70 , 66 , 59

The total number of heights less than 73 = 9

Therefore : the percentage of these students who are shorter than 73 inches = total number of students shorter than 73/ total number of height x 100

= 9/12 x 100

= 75%
