A leg.

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypotenuse is always the side that is across from the corner. In this triangle, the hypotenuse is 14.

Answer:

A leg

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypotenuse is the longest leg of a triangle, and the hypotenuse is across the greatest angle, which is the 90 degree angle in this case. Thus, side "a" is a leg.

4. Two friends, Sequoia and Raven, sold organic chap sticks at the local market.

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

Sequoia sold 2 chap sticks while Raven sold 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since two friends, Sequoia and Raven, sold organic chap sticks at the local market, and Sequoia sold her chap sticks for $ 4 and Raven sold hers for $ 3 each, and in the first hour, their total combined sales were $ 20, if in the first hour, the friends sold a total of 6 chap sticks between them, to determine the number of chap sticks each of the friends sold during this time the following calculation must be performed:

6 x 4 + 0 x 3 = 24

5 x 4 + 1 x 3 = 23

2 x 4 + 4 x 3 = 20

Therefore, Sequoia sold 2 chap sticks while Raven sold 4.

What equation best models this data?(use y to represent the population of rabbits and t to represent the year, assuming that 201

liraira [26]

If we see the data closely, a pattern emerges. The pattern is that the ratio of the population of every consecutive year to the present year is 1.6

Let us check it using a couple of examples.

The rabbit population in the year 2010 is 50. The population increases to 80 the next year (2011). Now, $\frac{80}{50}=1.6$

Likewise, the rabbit population in the year 2011 is 80. The population increases to 128 the next year (2012). Again, $\frac{128}{80}$ $=1.6$

We can verify the same ratio with all the data provided.

Thus, we know that the population in any given year is 1.6 times the population of the previous year. This is a classic case of a compounding problem. We know that the formula for compounding is as:

$F=P\times r^n$

Where $F$ is the future value of the rabbit population in any given year

$P$ is the rabbit population in the year "0" (that is the starting year 2010) and that is 50 in this question. (please note that there is just one starting year).
