700% increase.
Step-by-step explanation:
The duration was 3 decades, or 30 years. The population starts at 100%, then doubles to 200% (decade 1), then 400% (decade 2), then 800% (decade 3).
800% - 100% = 700%
Answer:
Given
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that: △RST ~ △VWX, TU is the altitude of △RST, and XY is the altitude of △VWX.
Comparing △RST and △VWX;
TU ~ XY (given altitudes of the triangles)
<TUS = <XYW (all right angles are congruent)
<UTS ≅ <YXW (angle property of similar triangles)
Thus;
ΔTUS ≅ ΔXYW (congruent property of similar triangles)
<UTS + <TUS + < UST = <YXW + <XTW + <XWY =
(sum of angles in a triangle)
Therefore by Angle-Angle-Side (AAS), △RST ~ △VWX
So that:
=
(corresponding side length proportion)
the 2nd expression is the answer
Answer: Choice C)
We start at 0 and move 1.4 units to the right. Then we move another 2.3 units to the right to land on 3.7
Notice how 1.4 - (-2.3) = 1.4 + 2.3 = 3.7
