Answer:
The area after 9 years will be 1,234 km^2
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we are tasked with calculating what the area of a certain forest that decreases at a certain percentage would be after some years.
To answer this question, we shall be using an exponential approximation.
Now, to use this exponential approximation, we shall be needing a supporting exponential mathematical equation.
This can be written as;
A = I(1-r)^t
where A is the new area we are looking for
I is the initial area which is 1700 according to the question
r is the rate of decrease which is 3.5% = 3.5/100 = 0.035
t is time which is 9 years according to the question
We plug these values and have the following;
A = 1700(1-0.035)^9
A = 1700(0.965)^9
A = 1,233.66
This is 1,234 km^2 to the nearest square kilometer

Answer: 51 uinits
The three numbers are x , x + 21 and x + 27.
The greatest of the 3 numbers is x + 27, so x + 27 has to be the hypotenuse.
----------------------------------------------
Pythagoras Theorem
----------------------------------------------
a² + b² = c²
x² + (x+21)² = (x+27)²
x² + x² + 42x + 441 = x² + 54x + 729
x² - 12x -288 = 0
(x - 24)(x + 12) = 0
x = 24 or x = -12 (rejected, length cannot be negative)
----------------------------------------------
Find hypotenuse
----------------------------------------------
Hypotenuse = x + 27 = 24 + 27 = 51 units
-----------------------------------------------
Answer: 51 units
