Answer:

There was a increase of 1.7% over these three​ years

Step-by-step explanation:

Multipliers:

For a decrease of a%, we multiply by: \frac{100-a}{100}

For a increase of a%, we multiply by: \frac{100+a}{100}

What was the percentage​ increase/decrease of groundhogs over these three​ years?

Decrease of 12%(multiplication by 0.88).

Increase of 6%(multiplication by 1.06).

Increase of 9%(multiplication by 1.09).

After these three years:

0.88*1.06*1.09 = 1.017

1.017 - 1 = 0.017

0.017*100% = 1.7%

There was a increase of 1.7% over these three​ years

The surface area of a cube is 27^2. Calculate the length of the sides of the cube
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Do you mean 27 units² ?

A cube has six congruent, square faces. Area of one face = (27/6) units²

Length of one edge = √(27/6)

= √(9/2)

= √9/√2

= 3/√2

= 3√2/2 units
