Answer:
The perimeter and area of the square are 56 units and 196 square units, respectively.
Step-by-step explanation:
The inner right triangle represents a 45-45-90 right triangle, which has the feature of a hypotenuse whose length is time the length of any of its legs. If the hypotenuse has a measure of
, then the legs of the triangle have a measure of
.
Now, we are aware that the side length of the square is twice the length of the leg of the right triangle. Then, side length of the square is 14 units long.
Lastly, we know from Geometry that the perimeter and area of the square are represented by the following expressions:
Perimeter
(1)
Area
(2)
Where is the side length of the square.
If we know that , then the perimeter and area of the square are, respectively:
The perimeter and area of the square are 56 units and 196 square units, respectively.
This problem can be solve by graphing (technology), as suggested.
The answer is posted as an attached image. We see that after about 14.75 years, the invading species will surpass the indigenous population.
If it needs to be solved mathematically and accurately, the math is a little more advanced, using the bisection method, or Newton's method.
However, we can also do that by trial and error, starting from 14.75. It is easier than you might think.
Post if you would like to have more information on one or the other methods.
Note: the scale of y has been shrunk by 1000, so each unit on the y-axis represents 1000 frogs.
