D) 36M this is because 9 / 1.5 = 6 so you do 6 x 6 which = 36

Answer:

36 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

9 divided by 3 is 3

That means for every 1 meters is 6 meters shadow wise because 3 meters equal to .5 meters.

6 meters of the pole times 6 meters per one real meter equals 36 shadow meters.

Hope that helped, if it did please give me the brainliest.

In the diagram the radius of the outer circle is 2x cm and the radius of the inner circle is 6 cm. The area of the shaded region

stich3 [128]

let's find the area of the outer circle and the inside circle

the inside's circle area

A= π x 6²=36π

the outer's

A' = π x 4x²= 4πx²

A'-A=4πx²- 36π=160πcm² equivalent to x²- 9=40, so x²=49 implies x =sqrt(49)=7, x=7.

Suppose the population of a certain city is 5831 thousand. It is expected to decrease to 5204 thousand in 50 years. Find the per

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

The percent decrease is approximately $10.75\%$

(Don't know what you are expected to round to.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Percent change can be calculated by doing:

$\frac{\text{original}-\text{new}}{\text{original}}$

Then you multiply the result to covert it to a percentage.

Let's use this formula:

$\frac{5831 \text{thousand}-5204 \text{ thousand }}{5831 \text{thousand}}$

$\frac{\text{thousand}}{\text{thousand}} \cdot \frac{5831-5204}{5831}$

$\frac{5831-5204}{5831}$

$\frac{627}{5831}$

$0.1075$ approximately

Now the answer as a percent is $10.75\%$ approximately.

The percent decrease is approximately $10.75\%$
