Answer:
your answer should be number 1
If Ms. Callahan has 24 feet of fencing, and she is building a pen, the PERIMETER of the pen must be 24 feet. The perimeter is basically the distance around a figure. The perimeter of a rectangle is equal to length plus width plus length plus width, AKA l+w+l+w, or P=2l+2w. In a rectangle, two pairs of sides are of equal length--so the two lengths and the two widths must be equal.
So, the formula is P=2l+2w. P, the perimeter, is 24, so 24=2l+2w. Let's try some values for l and see what we get for w. If the length is 1, l=1. 24=(2*1)+2w. 24=2+2w. 22=2w. w=11. So if length is 1 foot, width is 11 feet.
What if l=2? 24=(2*2)+2w. 24=4+2w. 2w=20. w=10. If l=2, w=10. And l=3? 24=(2*3)+2w. 24=6+2w. 18=2w. w=9. If l=3, w=9. Do you see a pattern? Every time we add 1 to l, we subtract 1 from w. So if l=4, w=8. If l=5, w=7. If l=6, w=6. Here, we start getting similar answers: if l=7, w=5. If l=8, w=4. Since we already know these values work, it doesn't matter whether we call it length or width. So, our answers are below.
Answer: Ms Callahan can make a pen with a length of 1 foot and a width of 11 feet, a length of 2 feet and a width of 10 feet, a length of 3 feet and a width of 9 feet, a length of 4 feet and a width of 8 feet, a length of 5 feet and a width of 7 feet, or a length of 6 feet and a width of 6 feet.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
From the picture attached,
Segment AB has been divided into four equal parts.
Let each part measures equal length = 1 unit
Point C is 2 units apart from both the points A and B.
Length of AC = Length of BC = 2 units
Therefore, point C will be the mid point of segment AB.
And ratio of AC and BC = 1:1
AC:BC = 1:1
Similarly, AC:AB = 2:4
= 1:2
And BC:AB = 2:4
= 1:2
Answer:
We can assume that the decline in the population is an exponential decay.
An exponential decay can be written as:
P(t) = A*b^t
Where A is the initial population, b is the base and t is the variable, in this case, number of hours.
We know that: A = 800,000.
P(t) = 800,000*b^t
And we know that after 6 hours, the popuation was 500,000:
p(6h) = 500,000 = 800,000*b^6
then we have that:
b^6 = 500,000/800,000 = 5/8
b = (5/8)^(1/6) = 0.925
Then our equation is:
P(t) = 800,000*0.925^t
Now, the population after 24 hours will be:
P(24) = 800,000*0.925^24 = 123,166
