Answer:
5% increase
Step-by-step explanation:
First, find how much it increased:
6300 - 6000
= 300
Then, to find the percent increase, divide 300 by 6000
300/6000
= 0.05
So, there was a 5% increase in the population
Answer:
The flagpole's shadow is 16.875 feet longer than the man's shadow
Step-by-step explanation:
The total length of the shadow is expressed by taking its actual length by a factor that depends on the position of the sun which is constant for the man too. The expression is as follows;
Height of the shadow=actual height of the flagpole×factor
where;
length of the flagpole's shadow=22.5 feet
actual height of the flagpole=32 feet
factor=f
replacing;
22.5=32×f
32 f=22.5
f=22.5/32
f=0.703125
Using this factor in the expression below;
Length of man's shadow=actual height of man×factor
where;
length of man's shadow=m
actual height of man=8 feet
factor=0.703125
replacing;
length of man's shadow=8×0.703125=5.625 feet
Determine how much longer the flagpole's shadow is as follows;
flagpoles shadow-man's shadow=22.5-5.625=16.875 feet
The flagpole's shadow is 16.875 feet longer than the man's shadow
