9514 1404 393

Answer:

180,651

Step-by-step explanation:

Each year, the population is multiplied by the factor 1 + 4% = 1.04. After 8 years, it will have been multiplied by that factor 8 times. We indicate repeated multiplication like that using an exponent.

population in 8 years = 132,000 × 1.04^8 ≈ 180,651

Not sure if that is the entire question, but yes, it does. Poly comes from the Greek polus or polloi meaning much or many.

The perimeter is just all the lines around the outside of the shape so basically take all the numbers and add them together to get the answer

I dont really know how to do soh cah toah. please help me find x.

First notice that the triangle with sides $x,y,a$ and the triangle with sides $z,a+b,x$ are similar. This is true because the angle between sides $x,y$ in the smaller triangle is clearly $30^\circ$ , while the angle between sides $y,z$ in the larger triangle is clearly $60^\circ$ . So the triangles are similar with sides $x,y,a$ corresponding to $a+b,z,x$ , respectively.

Now both triangles are $30^\circ-60^\circ-90^\circ$ , which means there's a convenient ratio between its sides. If the length of the shortest leg is $\ell_1$ , then the length of the longer leg is $\ell_2=\sqrt3\ell_1$ and the hypotenuse has length $\ell_3=\sqrt{{\ell_1}^2+{\ell_2}^2}=2\ell_1$ .

Since $x$ is the shortest leg in the larger triangle, it follows that $a+b=2x$ , so $a+b=15=2x\implies x=\dfrac{15}2$
