Answer:

28.8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use proportion in calculating this.

Let X= height of the shadow of 24- ft tree.

The proportion can be set up as

(15- ft tree) /( 18- ft shadow )=(24- ft tree) / X

15/18 = 24/X

Making X subject of the formula

15X = 18 × 24

X= (18×24)/15

X=28.8 ft

Hence, the shadow of the 24- ft tree is 28.8 feet

In 2002, a certain town recorded 15,300 acres of underdeveloped land. Each year
Katyanochek1 [597]

The approximate amount of underdeveloped land in 2013 is A = 15300 X e^-0.07(11).

<h3>How do you determine the future value when there is continuous compounding? </h3>

The formula for calculating future value of an investment when there is continuous compounding is A = P x   e^{r}x N

Where:

  • P = population in 2002
  • r = rate of decrease = 0.07
  • n = number of years = 2013 - 2002 = 11 years

A = 15300 X e^-0.07(11)
