48000=55210(1-0.0109)^t
Solve for t
t=12.77 =13 years
2010+13=2023

So the answer is c

Answer:

The city population will first be below 48,000 in the year:

2022

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that:

In 2010, a city population was 55,210

in 2011 the city population will be

(100-1.09)×55210/100=98.91×55210/100

= 0.9891×55210

in 2012 the city population will be

0.9891×0.9891×55210

we have to find number of years t such that

$(0.9891)^{t}55210$

i.e. the thirteen years from 2010 we will have city population less than 48000

i.e. in the year 2022

Area of a triangle with points at (-9,5), (6,10), and (2,-10)

Ann [662]

First we are going to draw the triangle using the given coordinates.
Next, we are going to use the distance formula to find the sides of our triangle.
Distance formula: $d= \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2}$

Distance from point A to point B:
$d_{AB}= \sqrt{[6-(-9)]^2+(10-5)^2}$
$d_{AB}= \sqrt{(6+9)^2+(10-5)^2}$
$d_{AB}= \sqrt{(15)^2+(5)^2}$
$d_{AB}= \sqrt{225+25}$
$d_{AB}= \sqrt{250}$
$d_{AB}=15.81$

Distance from point A to point C:
$d_{AC}= \sqrt{[2-(-9)]^2+(-10-5)^2}$
$d_{AC}= \sqrt{(2+9)^2+(-10-5)^2}$
$d_{AC}= \sqrt{11^2+(-15)^2}$
$d_{AC}= \sqrt{121+225}$
$d_{AC}= \sqrt{346}$
$d_{AC}= 18.60$

Distance from point B from point C
$d_{BC}= \sqrt{(2-6)^2+(-10-10)^2}$
$d_{BC}= \sqrt{(-4)^2+(-20)^2}$
$d_{BC}= \sqrt{16+400}$
$d_{BC}= \sqrt{416}$
$d_{BC}=20.40$

Now, we are going to find the semi-perimeter of our triangle using the semi-perimeter formula:
$s= \frac{AB+AC+BC}{2}$
$s= \frac{15.81+18.60+20.40}{2}$
$s= \frac{54.81}{2}$
$s=27.41$

Finally, to find the area of our triangle, we are going to use Heron's formula:
$A= \sqrt{s(s-AB)(s-AC)(s-BC)}$
$A=\sqrt{27.41(27.41-15.81)(27.41-18.60)(27.41-20.40)}$
$A= \sqrt{27.41(11.6)(8.81)(7.01)}$
$A=140.13$

We can conclude that the perimeter of our triangle is 140.13 square units.

Find the angle measurements and side lengths for the triangle below

rewona [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Sin(A) = 5/7

Sin(A) = 0.7143

A = sin-1(0.7143

A = 45.58

B = 180 - 45.58 - 90

B = 44.43

C = 90

c = 7

a = 5

b^2 = c^2 - a^2

b^2 = 7^2 - 5^2

b^2 = 49 - 25

b^2 = 24

b = 4.899
